Betweeen My Legs

Rufus Wainwright

Text File

A
You can go out, dancing

And I'll write about you, dancing without you
G				      A
And I'll shed a tear between my legs

A
When you were here, I missed you

Now that you're away, I'm out there without you
G                                           A
And I shed a tear between my legs

A
Though we live in the same city,
                                                         G                      
                A
You live in another state far away from me and all of my unfaded charms
           E                                        A
But when the rocket ships all fall, and the bridges, they all buckle
      Bm                                        D         E
And everybody's packing up their station wagons
                E                                       A
There's a number you can call, like a breast that you can suckle
            Bm                         D       E
And we quietly will exit as it all is happening

A
Again, I'm afraid of one thing,
                                                                  G             
                           A
Will I walk away from love knowing nothing, wearing my heart between my legs?
A
But when I know you're naked, lying on the bed while I'm at the piano
G                               A
All I can say is I can't fake it

                E                                        A
When the rocket ships all fall, and the bridges, they all buckle
         Bm                                     D          E
And everybody's packing up their station wagons
                E                                        A
There's a number you can call, like a breast that you can suckle
         Bm                            D       E
And we quietly will exit as it all is happening again
'Cause there's a river running underground, underneath the town towards the sea,
That only I know all about
On which from this city we can flee
On which from this city we can flee
