Intro: G/DG/D D7D7 x4

G/DG/D   D7D7  G/DG/D   D7D7
The vena cava, the most superior
G/DG/D
The queen
          D7D7
Bringing blood into the chamber
G/DG/D       D7D7
Always into the chamber
G/DG/D      D7D7
And in you it moves the same
G/DG/D     D7D7         G/DG/D
Even if you cannot feel how it moves
    D7D7       G/DG/D D7D7
It does move there in you

G+G       BB      C majorC BB A augmentedA G+G
I'm awake but I cannot be found
G+G      BB    C majorC BB A augmentedA G+G
Daydreaming so far, down


G/DG/D        D7D7
And in your arms, I sleep so deeply
G/DG/D        D7D7
But I can feel how you will leave me
G/DG/D          D7D7
Even as you are still sitting here
G/DG/D         D7D7
Even as your mug of coffee steams
G/DG/D        D7D7
I can feel how the seams of your ribs
G/DG/D          D7D7
Will separate from the seams of my ribs
G/DG/D           D7D7
I know already how much TV
   G/DG/D
Will fail to comfort me in your absence


G+G         BB        C majorC BB A augmentedA G+G
It's as though the knife, it never was
G+G          E MajorE        C majorC BB A augmentedA G+G
And everything will do just what it does
G+G          BB      C majorC BB A augmentedA G+G
Like a bullet in the barrel of a gun
G+G     E MajorE        C majorC    BB A augmentedA G+G
I'm hiding here inside with someone, someone

G/DG/D          D7D7
In your eyestreaks of canary yellow
G/DG/D          D7D7
In that twin bed I lay straight and narrow
G/DG/D         D7D7
In your room on Long Island
G/DG/D            D7D7
I try to keep myself from sighing
G/DG/D               D7D7
While the lilt of your language, it made me think
G/DG/D                   D7D7
That I was sinking with the wreckage of that old ship
G/DG/D           D7D7
Even though our love has long been dead
G/DG/D
It's ghost will follow to the foot of my deathbed

G+G     BB          C majorC BB A augmentedA G+G
I ain't no brother, I ain't no son
G+G       E MajorE        C majorC BB A augmentedA G+G
There ain't no aubergine in my blood
G+G     BB     C majorC BB A augmentedA G+G
I ain't no warrior or king
G+G     E MajorE       C majorC
But how I am one when I sing
    BB   A augmentedA   G+G
When I sing, sing, sing

G+G E MajorE A augmentedA BB D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
G MajorG E MajorE A augmentedA BB A augmentedA G+G


G/DG/D   D7D7  G/DG/D   D7D7
The vena cava, the most superior
G/DG/D
The queen
            D7D7
Bringing blood into the chamber
G/DG/D       D7D7     G/DG/D
Always into the chamber
