Mama said lift your head from the sieve of your hands
C5                          G5
Mama say eventually, this hurting will end
         C5 
But the shockwaves on my bones will linger
         G5 
Like the ghost of you here in my bed

E5                   G5
When I was lost you thought me a beautiful find
G5                                  E5 
Sometimes I think of you sleeping, so sleep for a while
G5              E5     E5 
I find myself asking who'd do this to love
         D5                          E5
And the white shouldered mountains, they pointed above

E5             G5                     E5      
Lord you just dropped me here my the side of this road
G5                         E5
Out here's too cold and I don't want to walk it alone
G5          E5                   D5  
I've got a bottle of your blood inside me
D5                                           G5
And an old beggar's prayer on the tip of my tongue
