Crane Your Neck chords by Lady Lamb The Beekeeper

• Capo on 9th

Tuning: EADGBE

Verse:
G
I pressed my ear against your back not even a week after we met
Em
And I felt your heartbeat fall like raindrops in a bucket
G
I used to have a pretty nice spine but I neglected to give it a name
Em
So each time I tried to straighten it, I couldn't get its attention

        Am           C               G
And I placed my palm upon your collarbone
        Am           C                    G
And I wished to fall asleep deep in your marrow
     Am        C                    G
As gently as a mouse curled up in a ball
     Am        C               G
As gently as a mouse until tomorrow

G
We ripped off all our clothes and this included all our jewelry
Em
And we ran hand in hand back when you brought out the beast in me
    Am                        C                 G
The parts that are dormant, I wish to set them free
    Am                        C                 G
And in the clarity of this night I make myself believe I can sleep easily alone
    Am                                       C              G
But there's a hunger under my skin and its gripping at my bones
          Am                               C                       G
There's a hunger like a lion's and it's ripping right through my bones

G
So I push my limbs all forward like a tree does in a storm
Em
And I walk across the kitchen and I lean against the window
       Am              C                  G
I'm as calm as a baby lamb that is being led
       Am              C                   G
I'm as blue as blood before the blood goes red

    Am             C          G
And how it hurts even in the sun
         Am                        C                 G
It is a God-damned joke how we can hurt even in the sun
         Am                    C                         G
For, a heart beats best in a bed beside the one that it loves
           Am                              C                     G
Oh yes, a heart beats the best when in a head, death becomes irrelevant
                 Am                                C                     G
Cause if you're dreaming about dying, then you're not really living, darling
                  Am                        C          G
You've gotta be starving, you've gotta be starving for it
               Am                         C                          G
And if you're crying by the moon, in the sun you better lift up that chin

G
Twist your hips
Em
And crane your neck
G
Twist your hips
Em
And crane your neck
G
Twist your hips
Em
And crane your neck
G
Twist your hips
Em
And bend your body back
                 Am                         C           G
You've gotta be starving, you've gotta be starving for it
                 Am                         C           G
