Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
I'll be the corpse in your bathtub
Useless
I'll be as deaf as a post
If you hold me like a newborn
Newborn
HaaAhh (whisper what you feel)
A
Haaaaaaaaa
Same for the next bit...
My badly strung declaration
To You
You'll spend the end of your days
Gently smiling like a newborn
Newborn
HaaAhh
Haaaaaaaaa
x2
Then:
Press your lips
To my eyes
Taste my tears
On your tongue,
Pull the blinds
Play our song
Nothings changed
Nothing could be wrong.
Scream in the night
Kick and strike
Like a newborn
Holding me shaking
Awake in the dark
All of these promises
Kept and unbroken
Tracing the scars
Tracing the scars
Even and cold
As we both become older.
Your arms bound about me
The hush in your voice.
The warmth of your fingers
Entwined around mine
In the eve of our lives
Never a choice.
