[Am] And [Dm] they [A] cleaned [F] the
[Bb] stove and [D] [Gm] I [Dm]
peed on the garden wall.
[F] And [Dm] they [G] sang, [F] sang so.
[Bb] And the [D] [Gm] knock on the door fell [Dm] on the back door.
[F] [A] [F]
[Bb] [C] [D] [Gm]
[Am] [Dm] I believe [C] in [Bb] you.
Do [F] you believe in me?
What do you want to [Bb] do?
For [F] we live in the city on the black road.
Through the gold fields while the fiends applaud.
Told what we're allowed.

[Bb] The deeper the depth [Dm] we sleep our [F] names.
We sleep [Bb] our pain in our [Dm] credentials.
[C] Pain and gas, [Bb] trained to master [Dm] incidentals.
Bleach our [Bb] collar, lead our bones, our [Dm] sperm, [C] our sex.
The [Bb] longer you live, the higher [Dm] you will.
Beneath the pale
[F] sky.
Beside the red barn, below the white clouds.
Is all we are allowed.
Here the [C]
light [Bb] will see.
[F]
And the sight will read.
And the spirit will run.
In counting towards the [Dm] end.
[F] [Dm]
In December [C] of my [F] fear, the word [Bbm] came down that [F] she was [Bb] here.
The days [C] were shorter, [D] I was [Dm] sure.
If she came round, I'd hold her ground.
I didn't know, but then alluded to [A] a change.
That [F] came to [Bb] pass and sprang [C] the rage.
[D] Dripping [Gm] grass and [C] sleepless road.
The [Dm] self apart in my window glass.
And [F] I could [Bb] barely breathe or see.
[Dm] All the [F] splinters, light [Bb] and greed.
A vicious [Dm] gleam, enlarged and [F] plodged.
With stars [Bb] in light, [D] brightly gleaming.
[F] Bleached the night with [Bb] warm relief.
[Dm] Singing that [Bb] high song.
[Dm]
[F] After our [Bb] good run, [D] when the [F] spirit bends.
Beneath, low and in my scent.
And that is all I [Bb] want here.
[D] To [F] draw my gone [Bb] [Dm] [F]
spirit.
To bow beneath.
For I [Bb] am allowed [Dm] beneath.
