Intro
[Am] [Em] [F] [C] [Dm] [Em] [Am]
Verse 1
[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
Chorus
[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
Verse 2
[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
Chorus
[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
Verse 3
[C]
Darlin', don't you, stand there watching, won't you
[Em]
Come and save me from it
[C]
Darlin', don't you, join in, you're supposed to
[Em]
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
Chorus
[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
