G   D   Am   Am (the end of the second Am is always 0-0-2-2-0-0) 
 
G          D             Am 
  As I took step number four 
G           D            Am 
  Into the close of your tenement 
G                D            Am 
  You cast your darkened eyes so low 
G             D          Am 
  Said we're cold as the step cement  
 
 
G                  C          G               D    Am 
  But I just don't know... oh what you meant  
Am            G   D   Am   Am 
    What you meant... 
 
 
G         D              Am 
  So Alec you may want a pill 
G            D              Am 
  We are so cruel and to communicate 
G              D         Am 
  Without the red stuff being spilled 
G          D       Am 
  We must MDMA our sentiment  
 
 
G                  C          G               D    Am 
  But I just don't know... oh what you meant  
Am            G   D   Am   Am 
    What you meant... 
 
 
G  D  Am  Am 
 
G             D               Am 
  If we were feckless we'd be fine 
G          D          Am 
  Sucking hard on our innocence 
G                D               Am 
  But we've been bright in our decline 
G     D                  Am 
  Been left as blackened filament  
 
 
G                  C          G              D   Am 
  But I just don't know... oh what you meant  
Am            G    D   Am   Am 
    What you meant... 
G   D   Am   Am 
Mmm-mmm 
 
 
G                D                Am 
  Because I feel blood inside the vein 
G         D              Am 
  I feel life inside the ligament 
G         D                  Am 
  I feel alive yeah just the same 
G      D              Am 
  Same vigour and the same intent  
 
 
G                 C              G             D   Am (strum once and hold) 
  So I just don't know if that's what you meant
