CAPO 1
[Verse 1]
F
I used to be a king alone
C
Like Solomon or Rehoboam
Dm F
And in the eaves the corvidae
C
did jealous keep my picture frames
Em G C
and everything did oxidate in place
[Verse 2]
F
But then you came, a single cell
C
with astrolabe and carousel
Dm F
and algebra and symmetry
C
and none of this was lost on me
Bb F
and I could see how still I'd been before
Bb F
If I don't eat, I don't sleep at all.
[Bridge 1]
Bb
Like limbs in procession,
Dm
like so many birds,
Bb
stampeding like oxen,
Dm
our hearts are a herd,
[Chorus 1]
C
I loved you in the bed,
Dm C
I loved you in the best way possible,
Dm
I loved you in the bed,
[Bridge 2]
F A Bb
Did you see the light in my heart?
F A Bb
Did you see the sweat on my brow?
F A Bb
Did you see the fear in my heart?
F A Bb
Did you see me bleeding it out?
[Сhorus 2 and end]
C
I loved you in the bed,
Dm C
I loved you in the best way possible,
Dm Bb
I loved you in the best way possible,
Dm C
I loved you in the best way possible,
Dm Bb
I loved you in the best way possible,
F
I loved you in the bed.
