 Make our escape, you're my own papillon.
Em (022000@1)             Em (022000@1) G (320003@1)    Bm (x24432@1)            Em (022000@1)World turns too fast, feel love before it's gone.
Em (022000@1)  G (320003@1)          Bm (x24432@1)  It kicks like a sleep twitch!
etc. 
My papillon, feel love when it's shone.
It kicks like a sleep twitch!

Chorus: Riff 2

C/D (x5555x@1)     G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)    Cif (x32010@1)there really was a God here,

It kicks like a sleep twitch! 

Strophe 2: 
No sense of doubt or what you could achieve.
Well, I've found you out, I've seen the life you wish to leave,
But it kicks like a sleep twitch!
You will choke, choke on the air you try to breathe.
It kicks like a sleep twitch!

Chorus: 
Darling, now just don't put down your guns yet.
If there really was a God here,
He'd have raised a hand by now.
Darling, well, you're born, get old and die here.
Well that's quite enough for me, dear.
We'll find our own home somehow.

Riff 1 (repeat as much as you need to)
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
It kicks like a sleep twitch!

(Play riff 1 a final time, with our without 'it kicks like a sleep twitch', and end on Em)
