[Bm] [G] Now come in [D] and out of [B] this swamp and [G] dive to [D] your maw.

[Bm] as you [G] abandon [D] me [B]
into [G] these fields [A] of rank [Bm] and file.
Through this [A] crowd I [G] heave [D]
again,
[Bm] through these [A] bars I [G] watch them [D] bring more [E] in.

So sleep [A] tight little [G] boys, [D] I've been there for [B] you.
[A] Never drop in [G] the town with [D] the quakes [Em] in it.
[F#] [D] Now I send back the letters [F#m] from the wasteland [G] home.
[D] I slow dance to [F#m] this romance on [G] my own.
And [Em] it's a good time, but [F#] boy, [F#m] I just want to [A] let go.

through.
[G] Tell [D] me, send my [Em] love [A] to you.
[B] You're [E] every bridge I should [B] talk about.
Every [E] lesson I've [Bm]
[Bm] learned.
Women [A] smoke the [G] way [D] you move.
[Bm] [A] Incarcerated, [G] [D] lovesick fools, [Em] I'll wait for you [F#] to cut me loose.
So baby, [D] I send back the [F#m] letters from the [G] wasteland home.
[D] I slow dance to [F#m] this romance on [G] my own.
