INTRO: 
Am Em F C Dm Em Am 

Am
Just a little rush, babe
                  F
To feel dizzy, to derail the mind of me

Am
Just a little hush, babe

                          F
Our veins are busy but my heart's in atrophy

Dm  Am        C            G
Any way to distract and sedate

Dm     Am              F           C
Adding shadows to the walls of the cave




Am             Em   F                  C   Dm
You and I nursing on a poison that never stung

                              Em       Am
Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it

Am                    Em     F
Some whiff of this death and guts

       C               Dm
We are deaf, we are numb

         Em                    Am
Free and young and we can feel none of it



Am
Something isn't right, babe

                    F
I keep catching the words but the meaning's thin
        
        Am
I'm somewhere outside my life, babe
                          
                          F
I keep scratching but somehow I can't get in




Dm       Am          C           G
So we're slaves to any sEmblance of touch

Dm      Am                 F           C
Lord we should quit but we love it too much



  Am              Em   F                 C      Dm
Sedated we're nursing on a poison that never stung

                              Em       Am
Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it

Am                    Em     F
Some whiff of this death and guts

       C               Dm
We are deaf, we are numb

         Em                    Am
Free and young and we can feel none of it

Am                                                 
Darlin', don't you, stand there watching, won't you

F
Come and save me from it

Am                                             
Darlin', don't you, join in, you're supposed to

F
Drag me away from it

Dm  Am        C            G
Any way to distract and sedate

Dm     Am              F           C
Adding shadows to the walls of the cave


Am             Em   F                  C   Dm
You and I nursing on a poison that never stung

                              Em       Am
Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it

Am                    Em     F
Some whiff of this death and guts

       C               Dm
We are deaf, we are numb

         Em                    Am
Free and young and we can feel none of it


 Am              Em   F                 C      Dm
Sedated we're nursing on a poison that never stung

                              Em       Am
Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it

Am                    Em     F
Some whiff of this death and guts

       C               Dm
We are deaf, we are numb

         Em                    Am
Free and young and we can feel none of it
