Eleanor chords by Cake Bake Betty

(single note: C#, C#, C#, C#)


      C#            G#
I was wasted on the trigger
       A#m          F#
in the river, I was waiting
      C#             G#
I was wanting, never wanting
       A#m             F#
what I could not yet become
        C#                  G#
Let the sea change, let's remember
        A#m            F#
all the good I did the ending
       C#                G#
was no more than spare repentance
        A#m             F#
This is nothing like my home

       C#           G#
On the table, I was ready
         A#m                  F#
Blood it glistened, gods they listened
        C#         G#
Running wild after chalice
        A#m              F#
just to let them take me on
        C#               G#
See the whirling of the skylights
           A#m             F#
Beasts surround me, all around me
            C#             G#
Trains pull out from under mantles
        A#m            F#
just to listen with us all


         A#m          G#
And with colours captivating
     F#
Eleanor stood cold and waiting
        A#m            G#
She was bathing me in blessings
         F#
that confronted as I cried
        A#m           G#
See the whole of me igniting
       F#
Clever hands with brushes biting
          A#m            G#
Cross the river to the towers
       F#
with remains of every sacrifice inside


      C#             G#
Oh my precious demon darlings
        A#m               F#
come to hold me, death unfold me
       C#             G#
Colour move me to the chambers
        A#m              F#
where I know I'll feel alive
         C#            G#
Dance in circles, atop grasses
         A#m        F#
Crossing over, lo behold her
       C#            G#
in the places of our reaches
          A#m                F#
where the beasts upset their lives

        C#              G#
But the water ceased to bargain
       A#m                  F#
We are stranded where we've landed
          C#             G#
Break the cycle, take us back
            A#m             F#
to where we feel we need to be
         C#              G#
Watching careful, the completion
       A#m                F#
of the cosmos, where the zygote
         C#                  G#
Sleeping sound now that I've found
           A#m               F#
my dearest friend outside my door


          A#m                 G#
Bound for new life, masons thunder
        F#
East is over, West is under
          A#m                 G#
Found the hum of drag race runners
        F#
Comfort flaring in my sheets
          A#m              G#
Now we'll head back up to Monmouth
          F#
where the kids are seldom honest
          A#m               G#
Cross the borders, past the trainyards
       F#
I will enter just to breathe
        A#m                 G#
But the time will come for lovers
        F#
We will cradle one another
        A#m               G#
We will wander past the distance
         F#              F#
from our merry mouths to meet


A#m, G#, C#, (single note: C, C#)
