Capo 2
E F#m
Summer noon I can always stay
A B
To radiate what the cello can’t play
E F#m
She spoke to me and provoked my band
A B
And I broke in two in the heat of her hand
E F#m
Like a lioness or a coyote
A B
At a pink beating heart in the balcony
E F#m
I followed the finger to the creature’s gate
A B
In the hubbub where the pitiful congregate
E F#m
I thought there was a note I could not hear
A B
So I floated to the whisper up against my ear
E F#m
Afterwards, I found my face in the trash
A B
Really at the core of it, it wasn’t so bad
E F#m
Never leave your mother’s womb
A B E F#m
Unless you wanna see how hard a broken heart can swoon
A B E
Unless you wanna see how hard a broken heart can swoon
