[Am] Sit back,[C] no song is written[Em]
It’s nothing you thought of yourself[Am]
[Am] It’s just a ghost,[C] came unbidden
To this[Em] house[Am]
[F] This infection gets [Em]stronger every [Am]year
[F] This seed in the [Em]water of your [Am]tear
[C] There is [G]no escaping [F]it[Em]
[Am] This seed[C] in the water of your [Em]tear[Am]
[Am] The way an unborn[C] baby’s ear[Em]
Unfolds in your[Am] belly
[F] This infection gets [Em]stronger every [Am]year
[F] This direction of a [Em]tear rolling [Am]down your cheek
[C]And there is [G]no escaping [F]it[Em]
[C] There is [G]no escaping
[F]The thing that is making
It's home in your radio
[Am] [C] [Em] [F] [G]
[Am] Bless this tiny alley
we have [C]fallen from tall buildings
we have [Em]fallen through the air
Into a [F]garden sweetly [G]smelling of the [Am]softest
Sleeping flowers now they [C]sit under the sidewalk
Now they’re [Em]waiting for the shining of some [F]future sun to [G]show us
[Am]All that is your beauty
Oh and [C]all that brings you pleasure
I could [Em]sigh into your hide
And say I [F]hope I’m here [G]forever
But Black [Am]Sheep Boy with your lovers
With your [C]list of favorite pillows
with your [Em]list of missing children
With the [F]wall where you drew [G]windows
*Keep doing Am C Em F G til the end,
Overlooking hidden gardens
Cut apart by jagged mountains
Climbing up into the air
And crumbling down into a fountain
Where the water waits forever
Like a quiet distant treasure
When you rise up to recover
When you leave this tiny alley
When you meet me in the garden
With your horns all hung with cedar
Every spirit brushing past me
Brushing past them in the ether
Scream all this is window dressing
All you are is flimsy curtains
Watch you flame up with a word from us
And won’t know that you’re [G][Am]buuuuuuurning!
[C]Burning[F][Em]
[G] [Am]Burning!
*same chords progression til the end
(There's no escaping
The thing that is making
It's home in your radio
There's no escaping
The thing that is making
It's home in your radio)
[Ends] [A] [Am.]
