G D Am Asus2
As I took step number four
G D Am Asus2
Into the close of your tenement
G D Am Asus2
You cast your darkened eyes so low
G D Am Asus2
Said we're cold as the step cement
G C G D Am
But I just don't know... oh what you meant
Asus2 G D Am Asus2
What you meant...
G D Am Asus2
So Alec you may want a pill
G D Am Asus2
We are so cruel and to communicate
G D Am Asus2
Without the red stuff being spilled
G D Am Asus2
We must MDMA our sentiment
G C G D Am
But I just don't know... oh what you meant
Asus2 G D Am Asus2
What you meant...
G D Am Am
G D Am Asus2
If we were feckless we'd be fine
G D Am Asus2
Sucking hard on our innocence
G D Am Asus2
But we've been bright in our decline
G D Am Asus2
Been left as blackened filament
G C G D Am
But I just don't know... oh what you meant
Asus2 G D Am Asus2
What you meant...
G D Am Asus2
Mmm-mmm
G D Am Asus2
Because I feel blood inside the vein
G D Am Asus2
I feel life inside the ligament
G D Am Asus2
I feel alive yeah just the same
G D Am Asus2
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
