πΈ Intro:
F C
πΈ Verse 1:
C
It's the silk and the sound
And the cold creasing down
F Bb
Of a long blade of grass
Dm
Tracing and cooling down
A bare leg
πΈ Verse 2:
C
It's the soles of your feet
Finding touches to breathe
F Bb
On the bare naked ground
Dm
Each step a puddle so soft a sound
πΈ Chorus:
Bb C
Like sandals in hand
Fm Cm G
Climbing a waterfall
Bb C
Like sandals in hand
Fm Cm G
Climbing a waterfall
πΈ Post-Chorus:
Eb
Oh, how delicious
F C
Oh, how I want this now
πΈ Verse 3:
C
It's the slip into sleep
With the memories you hold
F Bb
Burrowed in deep
Turned like pages
Dm
The break and release
πΈ Verse 4:
C
It's the first gust of drops
When it's ripening to rain
F Bb
And the flavor is warm
Scented like leather
Dm
Dusty and brown
πΈ Chorus:
Bb C
Like hot desert wind
Fm Cm G
Teasing along your skin
Bb C
Like hot desert wind
Fm Cm G
Teasing along your skin
πΈ Post-Chorus:
Eb
Oh, how delicious
F C
Oh, how I want this now
πΈ Verse 5:
C
It's the narrowing instant
When I look across at you
F Bb
And I wish I could be
Dm
Emotion naked, simple and sure
πΈ Verse 6:
C
It's the murmur of growth
Whenever I'm with you
F Bb
An I don't want to hide
Dm
In simple elastic, protecting skin
πΈ Chorus:
Bb C
If only I could
Fm Cm G
Stand so before you
Bb C
If only I would
Fm Cm G
Stand so before you
πΈ Outro:
Eb
Oh, how delicious
Eb
Oh, how I want this
Eb
Oh, how I want you
F
Now
F
Now
C
