Start Jamming...
[B] Step a little bit [E] closer, there [D] was something you mentioned
Under your [Bm] breath, last summer [E] not always helped you'd mention
Say it louder now, we'll soon be [G] there
Tell [Bm] me, [F#] tell me you love me
[Em] Or else tell me, or tell [F#] me you'll bear with [G#] me
Tell me, tell me you'll have me
[Bm] [A]
Embedded, embedded
[Bm] [A] Embedded, embedded
[F#m] Come on and lay [D] your body, [E] lay your weary body down
[E] Lay your weary [G] bones in the [E] ground
Lay your weary bones in this ground
Step a little bit closer, [D] there is alcohol upon your [Bm] breath
It's a [E] seven-dead feeling we [D] have and heaven knows we've had it to [Em] this
Oh no, tell me, [F#] tell me you love me
[Em] Or else tell me, [F#] tell me you'll bear with me
[Em] Tell me, [F#] tell me you'll have me
[Bm]
[A] Embedded, [F#m] embedded
[Bm] Embedded,
[A] embedded
[E] This [Em] one's an old dead heart [C#] of mine
It's died at least a thousand [E] times
This one will go straight to your head
And this one will go [B] straight to the face of your spine
[Em]
[E] [Em]
[E]
[Bm] It's all turning ugly now
[D] Everything we touch, waste clean [Bm] away
We would kiss [E] but we can't find our lips [D] when we speak
We [E] got nothing to [Em] say if you tell me
Tell [F#] me you love me
[Em] Or else tell me, or [F#] tell me you'll bear with me
[Em] Tell me, [F#] tell me you'll have me

[A] Embedded, embedded
[Bm] Embedded, embedded
[A] [F#m] [Bm] Embedded, embalmed and embedded
De-balmed [A] and de-headed
[Em] Do I hear your step on the stairs?
Do I hear your step on the stairs?
[E] And these are the thighs I [B] pride
And [E] these are the eyes I cry
[E] [F#m] [F#]
