aubergine sheets on my bed now, oh no

you with the nape that holds my gaze

you with the tongue that speaks my name

you with the arms that keep me at length

you with the heart that won't show its face

and jesus sucks the mud out of your soul
        G                                   Am
but the flame in my eye, it's gone blue and cold
        G                            Am
and you risked your wrist to save my life
      G                           Am
and I should have kissed you that night, but it ain't right

there's always a reason to stay.

Em*
  I just can't stay" and I say,
     Am*                          Em*
"I'll give you my whole summer when you unfurl your fingers.
Am*
I would be lying if I said you had nothing
   Em*                                           Am*  Em*
