Biografía:
Relatively new and unknown to the music scene, Nightmare and the Cat are our favorite new indie-folk band.
Claire Acey and brothers Django and Samuel Stewart form the 3-piece band, whose Facebook bio states, “We are Nightmare and the Cat… and that is that.”
Fresh from the cult London music scene, they have soft vocals reminiscent of Jeff Buckley, an indie pop vibe like that of The Thrills or Vampire Weekend, and instrumental skills like only Arcade Fire can match.

VERSE 1:
E6 A
Julia sang late into the night
F#m A/F# E
Salvation was a light hanging in the street for the cars on Alvarado
E6 A
Spanish words advertising fast food chains
F#m A/F# E
Line the dirty streets, cracking in the heat that lead to Alvarado
E6 A
There’s water still although it is unnatural
F#m A/F# E
But the price is getting high as the hours roll by like the cars on Alvarado
E6 A
She’s sleeping drunk in the desert vegetation
F#m A/F# E
Go out for a walk it’s colder when it’s dark but we can always go home
CHORUS:
E
Oh desire, you have a really twisted sense of humor
A E
To turn a saint into a sinner your lessons are so cruel
E
Hello desire, you always seem to find me when I’m hiding
A
If I could lose you I wouldn’t use you,
E
you know you’ve got me slipping and sliding
F#m A E
in and out of my mind
*finger picking*
VERSE 2:
E6 A
Resistance can submit to an existence
F#m A/F# E
Pinch behind the ear, getting wetter every year and the oxygen is fading
E6 A
There’s dust in the wind getting kicked up by the traffic jam
F#m A/F# E
Brings it to my door so I have to scrub the floor outside on the patio
E6 A
I hear restless girls playing hard to get with desperate boys
F#m A/F# E
Standing in a line but I haven’t got the time to wait here for the doors to open.
CHORUS:
E
Oh desire, you have a really twisted sense of humor
A E
To turn a saint into a sinner your lessons are so cruel
E
Hello desire, you always seem to find me when I’m hiding
A
If I could lose you I wouldn’t use you,
E
you know you’ve got me slipping and sliding
F#m A
in and out
F#m A
In and out
F#m A F#m7 E
In and out of my mind
*BREAK*
E
(strummed backwards)

G|--------------11--9---------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
CONCLUSION:
E
I can’t make it without you
C#m
You’re blood is in my head
Swaying like wine
E
And all the bullshit I said
C#m
I’ll take it back now
A
I really want you to know
E
I’m sorry
C#m
The way you seem so disappointed
When I’m not trying
E
And the healing around us
C#m
It makes me think we’re further
A
Than you expected
A E
Brother
A E
Sister
Repeat^ and add 2nd time:
A E
Lover
A E
Mother
OUTRO same as INTRO:
E6 A F#m A/F# E (end with finger picking)
