Separate And Ever Deadly

When we walke[Bm]d the streets together [A]       [Bm]
[Bm]All the faces seemed to smile back,  [A]        [Bm]
[Bm]And now the pavements have nothing to offer  [Em]
[D]    And al[Em]l the faces seem to need a slap   [Bm]          [A]                [Bm]

There’s an unfa[Bm]miliar grip     [A]         [Bm]
[Bm]on an unfamiliar handkerchief  [A]       [Bm]
[Bm]Attending to the tears on cheeks
[Em]I wouldn’t notice  [D]        [Em]
[Em]With you no matter how vicious the grief [Bm]            [A]                [Bm]
[Bm]Her expression was [Em]damp and crooked  [D]          [Em]
[Em]Grabs onto my throat and won’t let go [Bm]         [D]              [C#]                   [G]

[A]Won’t let[F#] go   [Bm]        [D]           [C#]               [G]

[Bm]Save me fro[D]m      [C#]           [G]
[A]The secat[F#]eurs
[Bm]I’ll pre[D]tend [C#]      [G]
[A]I didn’t [F#]hear
[Bm]Can’t you see  [D]
[C#]I’m the ghost in t[G]he wrong c[A]oat      [F#]
[Bm]Biting b[D]utter[C#] and [G]crumb[A]s    [F#]         [Bm]

[Bm] [A] [Bm]

There’s a han[Bm]dsome maverick     [A]         [Bm]
[Bm]You don’t talk about to keep me calm  [A]        [Bm]
[Bm]And I can't help it if I cr[Em]eate a version  [D]      [Em]
[Em]That pulls you back onto his a[Bm]rm      [A]            [Bm]

[Bn]Please don’t [D]tell m[G]e    [F#]
[Bm]You don’t hav[D]e to d[G]arlin[F#]g, I ca[Bm]n sens[D]e   [G]       [F#]
[Bm]That [D]he p[G]aint[F#]ed you a [E]gushing [D]sunset
[C#]And slayed angry [A]panthers in your def[Bm]ence.    [D]        [G]            [F#]
A[Bm]nd he s[D]tands s[G]eparat[F#]e and ever [E]deadly  [D]
[C#]Clings onto my throat and won’t l[Bm]et go   [D]        [C#]             [G]

[A]Won’t let[F#] go   [Bm]        [D]           [C#]               [G]
[A]Won’t let[F#] go   [Bm]        [D]           [C#]               [G]

[Bm]Save me from
[Bm]The secateurs
[Bm]I’ll pretend
[Bm]I didn’t hear
[Bm]Can’t you see
[Bm]I’m a ghost in the wrong coat
[Bm]Biting butter and crumbs [A]     [Bm]

[Bm] [E] [G] [A] [F#]
