Drop-D tuning  DADGBE
(capo at second fret - chord names are not transposed)

INTRO:
G#m  A  C#m  Badd2

Eadd4  Esus4  Eadd4  Esus4

VERSE:
G#m  A             C#m     Badd2
  we sleep together  while all around us
E     F#m                 E          A6
  peo-ple kill each other where they lie
G#m    A           C#m         Badd2
  they lie together  till they find someone better
E         F#m            E       A6
  try and negotiate that slow de-mise

VERSE:
G#m     A                C#m         Badd2
  but I just can't credit  that type of effort for a
E       F#m               E         A6
  piece of nothing on the edge of a knife
G#m   A              C#m       Badd2
  sli-ces you so thin  you dry like sheets in the wind
E        F#m                   E           A6
  hold a candle behind through you see the light

CHORUS:
C#m      Badd2          E        `
  I want the song I can sing for-ever I don't
F#m    C#m                   F#m       C#m
  care for structure just to know it's mine
C#m        Badd2       E           `
  I'd hate to see this thing we've developed be-
F#m    C#m               Badd2
  come your burden or my waste of
                         (2/4 bar)

time     my waste of time______

RE-INTRO:
G#m  A  C#m  Badd2

Eadd4  Esus4  Eadd4  Esus4

VERSE:
G#m   A            C#m             Badd2
  the afternoon can  bring with it shallow moods but
E          F#m               E          A6
  I'd jump a harbour wall to clear your mind
G#m  A                C#m        Badd2
  I  quarter the years  you drop the sails till we're clear
E           F#m                   E            A6
  I'll look for reefs you map the stars in the night

VERSE:
G#m       A            C#m         Badd2
  and his-tory tells us  of worlds we'll know nothing of
E            F#m             E       A6
  then retro-spect becomes a shackle tight on
G#m   A           C#m     Badd2
  the ankles of us  so in the future we trust
E          F#m                   E            A6
  we cross our fingers like some kids telling lies

CHORUS:
C#m      Badd2          E        `
  I want the song I can sing for-ever I don't
F#m    C#m                   F#m       C#m
  care for structure just to know it's mine

CHORUS-2:
C#m     Badd2          E             `
  I wan-na know that I know what I'm talking about
F#m     C#m               F#m        C#m
  until I do well all the walls seem white
C#m        Badd2           E             `
  but when I'm sure that I know what I'm talking about
F#m         C#m                   Badd2
  I'll take your burden if you'll say it's
                                 (2/4 bar)
