Who Fell Asleep In chords by Los Campesinos

Chords with lyrics

Probably not perfect, so corrections are welcome.
When there's a G* that means I slide my pinky up the E MajorE string
from the 3rd fret up to the 5th, 6th, and 7th, back down to the 3rd and up to the 5th and 6th again
before the next chord.


               G+G    G+G
She turned her back on the church and put all her faith in me
    C majorC              E minorEm          E minorEm   G*
At the back of the chapel where I taught her to screw and to blaspheme
               G+G        G+G
We turned our backs to the church, with our trousers around our knees
     C majorC               E minorEm         E minorEm  G*
While screaming the scriptures she said I was her favourite heresy

A minorAm
In a note I read:
   C majorC
"If you should go blind and deaf
    G+G                 E minorEm
I'll cleanse and I'll bathe you and I'll cook for you daily.
    A minorAm              C majorC
I will take a dry ballpoint pen and trace on your chest
      G+G             E minorEm
All of the same conversations that we have now in bed."
           A minorAm            C majorC       G+G
I don't mean to be selfish; but I think I'd sooner just be dead


C majorC      E minorEm      G+G             C majorC      E minorEm    G+G
Behind the tennis court alongside the river, not a single live flower to see
C majorC      E minorEm      G+G             C majorC      E minorEm     G+G
This is the one girl who woke up from all that, and now falls asleep next to me
         E minorEm         G+G      A minorAm               C majorC
But I swear now, every time that I kiss her, she feels her god breathe on her shoulder
                    G+G
It pains me, but I'm sure she's still yours


            C majorC        E minorEm             G*
She said she wanted a sea burial, not grass and hypodermics to her hips
G+G               G+G
I pruned the ivy from your grandmother's tomb
    C majorC               E minorEm                    G+G Bb majorBb G+G Bb majorBb
More tender and careful than the superstitious ripped you from your mothers womb


A minorAm
In a note I wrote:
   C majorC                G+G            E minorEm
"I think too much about the end, but being around it made me feel like I'm coping.
     A minorAm           C majorC
Now when I view the cemetery I don't see headstones,
      G+G                 E minorEm
I see rows of engraved milk teeth, hungry, waiting for me"
         A minorAm        C majorC        G+G
And though I am fearful, I think I just crave the relief.


C majorC      E minorEm       G+G             C majorC        E minorEm    G+G
Behind the tennis court, alongside the river, paper flower's still a beautiful thing
C majorC      E minorEm      G+G             C majorC     E minorEm      G+G
This is the one girl who woke up from all that, and now falls asleep next to me
         E minorEm        G+G       A minorAm              C majorC
But I swear now, every time that I kiss her, she feels her god breathe on her shoulder
                    G+G
It pains me, but I'm sure she's still yours.

(slide pinky up from 3rd to 5th, 7th, 10th four times)
