Intro:

Em Em Em Em
Em Em G  Bm


Verse 1:
 Em
Open my legs, lie down with death
   Em        G         Bm
We kiss, we sigh, we sweat
     Em
His blackberry mouth stains my nightgown
            Em
I pull him close
       G      Bm           Em
Wrap my legs around and it tastes like life
   Em
I twist, I bite
         Em              G    Bm
The foxes chatter in the night

Chorus:
Em
 Show me the way
A
 This feeling leads
    Em
The ache, the kick, the need
B
 Show me the way
A
 This feeling leads
    Em
The ache, the kick, the need


Post-Chorus:
Em                       D
  A shimmering landscape, I widen my eyes
          G                           Am G/F D
Can I keep all this beauty forever inside?


Verse 2:
Em                                                     G Bm
 I tear off my nightgown and run naked through the town
Em
 Run through rain, run through fog
       Em                                                       G Bm
Taking consolation in cats and dogs and things that cannot speak
Em
Ran to the ancestral plane, but they all showed up drunk and insane
       Em
When I asked what I could offer them
G                         Bm
They said, "Gin and tonic or lithium"
  Em
I asked, "Which way should I go "
        Em
Through cigarette smoke, they said
Em                   G     Bm
"Child, how would we know "


Chorus:
Em
 Show me the way
A
 This feeling leads
    Em
The ache, the kick, the need
Em
 Show me the way
A
 This feeling leads
    Em
The ache, the kick, the need


Post-Chorus:
Em
 Desire beyond reason
D
 Ruinous thing
              G
A stranger came to my door
                   Am G Am
And I welcomed him in
Em
 My feet are bleeding
D                                G
 But I cannot stop, I have many, many miles
        Am G Gb B
Yet to cross


Bridge:
   C
I came to a clearing
        Em
Full of wailing and keening
          G                      Am
A well of tears that never runs dry
       C
Women said, "We've been waiting
Em                        G                    D
Waiting to meet you, it's only a matter of time"
          C
Thrust my fists in the ground
        Em                    G         Am
And the earth made a moaning sound, oh, oh
            C
I could feel something shudder
Em               D
Deeper, deeper down


Outro:
      C                          Em
And I met every monster from the bar to Broadway
              G                      Am
And all their violent offers, I just turn them down
         C                          Em
And your threats and your promises, they don't scare me
       G                       D              C    Em G Am
After all, there's nobody more monstrous than me (Woo)
     C   Em D
Than me (Woo)
C Em G Am
C Em D
