Awful Sweetness Of Escaping Sweat Chords by Bright Eyes The Awful Sweetness of Escaping Sweat Dm we escape from the house Am as the day dissapears from the sky Into night C we bacame what we wanted to be G Am like a dream or a ghost Dm i collapse out of turn near a house Am lying still in the grass and felt the heat from the ground C G Am rising up to contract and expand like a breath Dm we escape from that place Am soaked with sweat and the poison we drank C fill the bathtub with ice, hope this fever will break G like a heart Am easily Dm G but i do not recall all the words that were formed Am on those wire lips as they greeted me Dm G Am a promise was made witout thought as the temperature climbed Dm G and i started to sink like the moon Am E C Em G tends to do if you stare at it too long E Am then you blink and it's gone C G Am and we crawl to our sleep with the dawn Dm Am repeated with "isn't it the same mistake" Dm Am i awake in the light feeling hollow and selfishly warm C close the blinds and retreat until what's burning is gone G Am and it's light is away Dm the we are back in the dark Am chasing nothing through backyards and trees C you ripped your shirt on a fence but it didn't get me G yeah it's fear Am it makes you so low Dm and these creatures look crooked Am their shadows cut lines through my face and the concrete is fire C where my bare feet are placed G Am in a line next to yours Dm G and i guess i'm not sure if it was fear that was born Am as those awful eyes made their claim on us Dm i put my hands on the fence G said your name Am and i started to climb Dm G and it must have been sweat but i drank it like wine Am E C Em G it was sweet, my mouth was dry E Am i heard you scream but i made no reply C G Am i can still taste it now if i try I'm hoping that's right.
