Key: D

Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
D
We were tripping tripping tripping tripping tripping along
             G
While you're orbiting, might I?
             D
While you're orbiting, might I?
D
Lick you sticky sticky sticky sticky sticky and sweep
            G
They're all turning a blind eye
            D
They're all turning a blind eye

Chorus:
   F                        D
But oh what I'd do just to lie with you die in your arms
    F                        D
What wouldn't I give just to live with that sense of alarm?
     G                       Bm
But your relatives gathered all clamber about for your mind
       A                        D
And they're tearing and swearing to leave you all naked and blind


Verse 2:
D
So we keep a-ripping ripping ripping ripping rips in the sheets
             G
'Till it's all coming undone
             D
'Till it's all coming undone
D
And we're drippy drippy drippy drippy, what messes are we?
          G
And I'm due for a line out
          D
And I'm due for a light out


Chorus:
   F                       D
But just as I'm cusping on slumber and dumbing my eyes
       F                    D
What spin-twisting vision comes listing and jelly alike?
   G                     Bm
And bothering toddles all over this beautiful light
    A                      D
This fickle young sister's away in the dimming of night
