Skin is your tie to me
                D
A sweet little go between
                 F
Connecting the things I keep
                   C7
To the hidden in you
             Gm
Darker or lighter we
                D
All crave that simple heat
                   F
The love and the mystery
                       C7
Of the one from the two

 Cm7
Why’s it so hard to see
          Bb
Our skin  makes family
              F
And that’s a good thing baby
  C7            Eb             Bb   F
We’re meant to make our love grow

  Gm
Skin is a ghost machine
                 D
A loved and a hated thing
                  F
But worn by the poor and king
                                C7
Who draw lines with their clothes
                    Gm
But your skin can preach to me
                 D
Your skin calls mine to sing
                 F
A song not for whispering-
                      C7
I would hear every note

 Cm7
Why’s it so hard to see
           Bb
Each shade of majesty-
                 F
You’re looking good my brother
 C7            Eb                Bb  F
We’re meant to make this love grow
  Cm7
Why’s it so hard to see
                Bb
All that you mean to me
                   F
For who you are my sister
 C7             Eb               Bb  F
We’re meant to make this love grow

   Gm
Skin is your tie to me
                D
A curse from Adam and Eve
                    F
But far from the garden we
                         C7
Still find blood at the root
