[Verse]
G
I pressed my ear against your back not even a week after we met
Em
And I felt your heartbeat fall like raindrops in a bucket
G
I used to have a pretty nice spine but I neglected to give it a name
Em
So each time I tried to straighten it, I couldn't get its attention
Am C G
And I placed my palm upon your collarbone
Am C G
And I wished to fall asleep deep in your marrow
Am C G
As gently as a mouse curled up in a ball
Am C G
As gently as a mouse until tomorrow
G
We ripped off all our clothes and this included all our jewelry
Em
And we ran hand in hand back when you brought out the beast in me
Am C G
The parts that are dormant, I wish to set them free
Am C G
And in the clarity of this night I make myself believe I can sleep easily alone
Am C G
But there's a hunger under my skin and its gripping at my bones
Am C G
There's a hunger like a lion's and it's ripping right through my bones
G
So I push my limbs all forward like a tree does in a storm
Em
And I walk across the kitchen and I lean against the window
Am C G
I'm as calm as a baby lamb that is being led
Am C G
I'm as blue as blood before the blood goes red
Am C G
And how it hurts even in the sun
Am C G
It is a God-damned joke how we can hurt even in the sun
Am C G
For, a heart beats best in a bed beside the one that it loves
Am C G
Oh yes, a heart beats the best when in a head, death becomes irrelevant
Am C G
Cause if you're dreaming about dying, then you're not really living, darling
Am C G
You've gotta be starving, you've gotta be starving for it
Am C G
And if you're crying by the moon, in the sun you better lift up that chin
G
Twist your hips
Em
And crane your neck
G
Twist your hips
Em
And crane your neck
G
Twist your hips
Em
And crane your neck
G
Twist your hips
Em
And bend your body back
Am C G
You've gotta be starving, you've gotta be starving for it
Am C G
You've gotta be starving, you've gotta be starving for it
