G          D             Am           Asus2
  As I took step number four
G           D            Am           Asus2
  Into the close of your tenement
G                D            Am      Asus2
  You cast your darkened eyes so low
G             D          Am           Asus2
  Said we're cold as the step cement 

G                  C          G               D    Am
  But I just don't know... oh what you meant 
Asus2         G   D   Am   Asus2
    What you meant...

G         D              Am           Asus2
  So Alec you may want a pill
G            D              Am        Asus2
  We are so cruel and to communicate
G              D         Am           Asus2
  Without the red stuff being spilled
G          D       Am           Asus2
  We must MDMA our sentiment 

G                  C          G               D    Am
  But I just don't know... oh what you meant 
Asus2         G   D   Am   Asus2
    What you meant...

G  D  Am  Am

G             D               Am           Asus2
  If we were feckless we'd be fine
G          D          Am           Asus2
  Sucking hard on our innocence
G                D               Am           Asus2
  But we've been bright in our decline
G     D                  Am           Asus2
  Been left as blackened filament 

G                  C          G              D   Am
  But I just don't know... oh what you meant 
Asus2         G    D   Am   Asus2
    What you meant...
G   D   Am           Asus2
Mmm-mmm

G                D                Am           Asus2
  Because I feel blood inside the vein
G         D              Am           Asus2
  I feel life inside the ligament
G         D                  Am           Asus2
  I feel alive yeah just the same
G      D              Am           Asus2
  Same vigour and the same intent 

G                 C              G             D   Am (strum once and hold)
  So I just don't know if that's what you meant
