Intro: G/D D7 x4

G/D      D7    G/D      D7
The vena cava, the most superior
G/D
The queen
                    D7
Bringing blood into the chamber
G/D             D7
Always into the chamber
G/D           D7
And in you it moves the same
G/D         D7                 G/D
Even if you cannot feel how it moves
        D7              G/D  D7
It does move there in you


G             B           C B A G
I'm awake but I cannot be found
G           B       C B A G
Daydreaming so far, down


G/D               D7
And in your arms, I sleep so deeply
G/D                D7
But I can feel how you will leave me
G/D                   D7
Even as you are still sitting here
G/D                 D7
Even as your mug of coffee steams
G/D                D7
I can feel how the seams of your ribs
G/D                    D7
Will separate from the seams of my ribs
G/D                     D7
I know already how much TV
     G/D
Will fail to comfort me in your absence


G                  B               C B A G
It's as though the knife, it never was
G                   E               C B A G
And everything will do just what it does
G                    B           C B A G
Like a bullet in the barrel of a gun
G          E                C        B A G
I'm hiding here inside with someone, someone

G/D                   D7
In your eyestreaks of canary yellow
G/D                    D7
In that twin bed I lay straight and narrow
G/D                  D7
In your room on Long Island
G/D                       D7
I try to keep myself from sighing
G/D                              D7
While the lilt of your language, it made me think
G/D                                     D7
That I was sinking with the wreckage of that old ship
G/D                      D7
Even though our love has long been dead
G/D
It's ghost will follow to the foot of my deathbed


G          B                   C B A G
I ain't no brother, I ain't no son
G              E               C B A G
There ain't no aubergine in my blood
G          B          C B A G
I ain't no warrior or king
G         E             C
But how I am one when I sing
       B     A     G
When I sing, sing, sing

G/D      D7    G/D      D7
The vena cava, the most superior
G/D
The queen
                        D7
Bringing blood into the chamber
G/D             D7         G/D
Always into the chamber
