INTRO:
G#m A C#m Badd2
Eadd4 Esus4 Eadd4 Esus4
VERSE:
G#m A C#m Badd2
we sleep together while all around us
E F#m E A6
peo-ple kill each other where they lie
G#m A C#m Badd2
they lie together till they find someone better
E F#m E A6
try and negotiate that slow de-mise
VERSE:
G#m A C#m Badd2
but I just can't credit that type of effort for a
E F#m E A6
piece of nothing on the edge of a knife
G#m A C#m Badd2
sli-ces you so thin you dry like sheets in the wind
E F#m E A6
hold a candle behind through you see the light

CHORUS:
C#m Badd2 E `
I want the song I can sing for-ever I don't
F#m C#m F#m C#m
care for structure just to know it's mine

I'd hate to see this thing we've developed be-
F#m C#m Badd2
come your burden or my waste of

RE-INTRO:
G#m A C#m Badd2
Eadd4 Esus4 Eadd4 Esus4
VERSE:
G#m A C#m Badd2
the afternoon can bring with it shallow moods but
E F#m E A6
I'd jump a harbour wall to clear your mind
G#m A C#m Badd2
I quarter the years you drop the sails till we're clear
E F#m E A6
I'll look for reefs you map the stars in the night
VERSE:
G#m A C#m Badd2
and his-tory tells us of worlds we'll know nothing of
E F#m E A6
then retro-spect becomes a shackle tight on
G#m A C#m Badd2
the ankles of us so in the future we trust
E F#m E A6
we cross our fingers like some kids telling lies

I'd hate to see this thing we've developed be-
F#m C#m Badd2 E
come your burden or my waste of time
CHORUS-2:
C#m Badd2 E `
I wan-na know that I know what I'm talking about
F#m C#m F#m C#m
until I do well all the walls seem white
C#m Badd2 E `
but when I'm sure that I know what I'm talking about
F#m C#m Badd2
I'll take your burden if you'll say it's
(2/4 bar)
