[G]
[D] [G] [A]
[D] I'm going to sing a song called
Blood on my shirt, two red [G] buttons
That killed me that [A] time
Oh, if I'd [D] let him, he'd slow his drunk
And he [G] lost his [A] grip on me
[D] Now I'm running down La Rue Saint [G]-Paul
Trying to get [A] out from the wet of it [D] all
Can't flag a cop, cause I know he won't [G] stop
I go see [A] Persephone
[G] Tap, tap, [A] tapping on your window [D] screen
Gotta let [G] me in, Persephone
I know where to [A] go, but I had to get [D] away And there
[G] My petals are a [A] brook, but I'm still a [D] flower
Come running [G] to you in the wild now
Put your skinny [A] arms around me, let me [D] taste your skin
Mouth to mouth, mouth to [G] mouth
Salty, [A] sweet, you give me [D] power
I feel you shake under my lips
Your fingers [A] tender, find my [D] secrets
Don't make a sound, don't cry out [G] loud
Your parents are [A] sleeping just [D] above
I kiss you once, I kiss you [G] twice
Fall [A] asleep looking in each other's eyes
[G] Tap, tap, [A] tapping on your window [D] screen
Gotta let me in, Persephone
I know where to [A] go, but I had to get [D] away And there
My [G] petals are a [A] brook, but I'm still a [D] flower
Come running to [G] you in the wild now
Put your skinny [A] arms around me, let me [D] taste your skin
Light [A]
[D] [G] [A]
[D]
on your shoulder, light on your cheek
[G] Light telling me [A] it's time to [D] leave
Birds are calling to morning
[G] Parents' feet [A] above us stirring
[D] Kiss your belly before I go
[G] Climb back out [A] of your basement window
[D] Back to the cold spot, back to the hard [G] lot
Back to the harsh [A] bright street
[G] Tap, tap, tapping [A] on your window screen
[D] Gotta let me in, [G] Persephone
I know where to go, but [A] I had to get away And [D] there
[G] My petals are a brook, [A] but I'm still a flower
[D] Come running to you [G] in the wild now
Put your skinny arms [A] around me, let me taste your [D] skin
[G] My petals are a brook, [A] but I'm still a flower
[D] Come running to you in [G] the wild now
Put your skinny arms [A] around me, let me taste [D] your skin
