Hour of Deepest Need
Ezra Furman
Pepetual Motion People (2015)
[Intro]
G F C
[Verse]
G F
I think it’s time you brought your face
C
Across the railroad to my place
G F C
I can’t share this whiskey with ya through the phone
G F
And if we drink enough of it
C
You might just get me to admit
G F C
That I never knew quite how to be alone
[Interlude]
G F C
[Verse]
G F
We can sit on my back steps
C
And intertwine our fingertips
G F C
While you talk about the nice things that you once had
G F
And if the turntable still starts
C
You can teach me how to waltz
G F C
And I’ll teach ya how to feel really, really bad
[Chorus]
D G G D C
Sometimes the wound hurts powerful indeed
D G
But sometimes you just got to let that sucker bleed
C D
And when the sun drags in the day
Em C
Will you be a thousand miles away
C D Cmaj7
In the hour of my deepest need?
[Verse]
G F
G F
Well they pile up around you
C
The good and evil things you do
G F C
And the piles grow up higher with every breath
G F
When you’re down between two mountains
C
And you’re 28 and counting
G F C
That's the valley of the shadow of death
[Interlude]
G F C
G F
We can watch the silver moon
C
And I’ll fall asleep too soon
G F C
While the porch light draws the horse flies to their fate
G F
Yeah, sometimes your company
C
Is just the thing to comfort me
G F C
But other times all I can do is just sit and wait
[Chorus]
D G G D C
Sometimes the wound hurts powerful indeed
D G
But sometimes you just got to let that sucker bleed
C D
And when the sun drags in the day
Em C
Will you be a thousand miles away
C D Cmaj7
In the hour of my deepest need?
