G              D               F         G C
It's dark at four PM in Leeds
G                                    D         F
 the steeples pierce the skylight till the last of it bleeds
G               D              F                              Gm Cm F      C Cm
The absent sound of another day as it recedes into the shadows until it's nothing
G              D                                 F         G C
Fax papers slipped under the hotel room door 
G                          D           F
like food for the prisoner or the prospect to the whore
G               D              F                              Gm     Cm      F     C      Cm
Well fed and halfway drunk I ache myself for more until I'm shadows of myself until I'm nothing
C               A7             G      Cm     
Sixteen black churches burning on the TV 
C               A7             G      Cm
all the way from Texas to Tennessee
C               A7             G              Cm     Gm     Cm     F              C Cm
a politician locks my eye and says to me there is no crisis here there's no conspiracy
G              D               F                              G C
I crave inertia every move made so I can stop
G                       D              F
Whatever this madness is in me spinning like a top 
G       D              F                              Gm     Cm      F     C      Cm
on a bed of anxiety over a deep dark drop down into nothingness into without-youness
C               A7             G      Cm     
Was it ever so evil creep like ivy, 
C               A7                     G      Cm     
toe hold on the stronger half of nature's dichotomy
C               A7             G      Cm     
Beating back a path through nothing more than pure insistence
Gm      Cm     F              C Cm
Until here becomes the distance

G              D               F         G C
Hold my head love I'm sick tonight 
G                   D                    F      
find the open hole and press your finger there will all your might 
G               D                      F              
before the last ounce of my spirit bleeds
Gm      Cm     F              C Cm          G
onto the pristine sheets of the hotel bed in Leeds
