Текст песни с аккордами
Вступление
Probably not perfect, so corrections are welcome.
When there's a G* that means I slide my pinky up the E string
from the 3rd fret up to the 5th, 6th, and 7th, back down to the 3rd and up to the 5th and 6th again
before the next chord.
G G
She turned her back on the church and put all her faith in me
C Em Em G*
At the back of the chapel where I taught her to screw and to blaspheme
G G
We turned our backs to the church, with our trousers around our knees
C Em Em G*
While screaming the scriptures she said I was her favourite heresy
Am
In a note I read:
C
"If you should go blind and deaf
G Em
I'll cleanse and I'll bathe you and I'll cook for you daily.
Am C
I will take a dry ballpoint pen and trace on your chest
G Em
All of the same conversations that we have now in bed."
Am C G
I don't mean to be selfish; but I think I'd sooner just be dead
C Em G C Em G
Behind the tennis court alongside the river, not a single live flower to see
C Em G C Em G
This is the one girl who woke up from all that, and now falls asleep next to me
Em G Am C
But I swear now, every time that I kiss her, she feels her god breathe on her shoulder
G
It pains me, but I'm sure she's still yours
C Em G*
She said she wanted a sea burial, not grass and hypodermics to her hips
G G
I pruned the ivy from your grandmother's tomb
C Em G Bb G Bb
More tender and careful than the superstitious ripped you from your mothers womb
Am
In a note I wrote:
C G Em
"I think too much about the end, but being around it made me feel like I'm coping.
Am C
Now when I view the cemetery I don't see headstones,
G Em
I see rows of engraved milk teeth, hungry, waiting for me"
Am C G
And though I am fearful, I think I just crave the relief.
C Em G C Em G
Behind the tennis court, alongside the river, paper flower's still a beautiful thing
C Em G C Em G
This is the one girl who woke up from all that, and now falls asleep next to me
Em G Am C
But I swear now, every time that I kiss her, she feels her god breathe on her shoulder
G
It pains me, but I'm sure she's still yours.
(slide pinky up from 3rd to 5th, 7th, 10th four times)
