Good god, I feel your hands on me

My agressor runs under the lamps

The crime   commited on me

He sings all of Rubber Soul

Bridge:
F    Em              Dm
Silk dampened unknown
                G
over final thoughts
             G
Where will I be in two years
   F     Em              Dm
Euphoria breaks over the bow
                 G
Washing up the macabre
G
Out to sea to my mother's arms

    C
And I'm
       Csus4/F C/E   G/D
Losing my ability to fathom
 G                       C
Awake and not awake, and I'm
         Csus4/F C/E G/D
Losing my ability to fathom
 G                       C
Awake and not awake, and I'm
       Csus4/F C/E   G/D
Losing my ability to fathom
 F
Awake
    E
And not awake

Chorus:
(Riff) Am

Asus2/B  Am    Em/G Am/F# Asus4/F E

(Riff, softly)

(Philadelphia)
