Intro Am Esus Am Esus
Am G ~
I was alone my heart was cold it was a stone,
my soul was lonely like a stone - there was no moss.
Am G ~
And when I danced I danced alone but then I did not dance
Fmaj7 Ebecause I *was* alone. So I did not dance.
Am G _~_ Fmaj7
I shuffled through life invisible to all the happy couples who would mock
me with their merry laughter – “ha-ha-ha”.
Am G FThe only sound I heard in my lonely silent world was the rusty hammer of my
E Amheart nailing at the hatred in my soul.
E - G - Am (quickly)
[ synth strings ]
G Cmaj7
But then you came,
Dm Dmmaj7 Dm7and my life was turned upside down.
You showed me the beauty of the things that I had never seen.
C [ Embellish with Cmaj7, C/G and C ]
Like a snowflake that melts on the eyelash of a startled deer.
Dm Dmaj7 Dm7Or the painting of a dog that wears a deerstalker[1] and
smokes a pipe that made you laugh so heartily,
Dm7 G7 C Cmaj7 C/Gbut I had previously thought was rubbish.
Dm Dmmaj7 Dm7
Or the duck that lands so clumsily on a frozen pond in winter
G7but the intoxicating power of our love transforms this simple act into an
anthropomorphic drama where Mr. Duck’s embarrassed and the other ducks are
C Cmaj7 C/Glaughing (quack quack quack quack quack).
E/ Am
AND THEN YOU LEFT! [Flamenco Style]
G F EAnd I have died a thousand deaths and I will die a thousand more!
I thought you were an angel - you turned out to be a whore!
Am G F EAnd everything has turned to dust! Everything is infected with the plague!
E AmWhy did you have to sleep with Craig?
"Oh he's so sensitive, he's got a tattoo."
F EYeah, carving your name with a compass in my forehead was not enough for you!
F E F E
[ Flutes ]
The snow flake on the eye of the dear has turned to
F Epuss that oozes from an open wound.
F EThe deer now blind it stumbles into a ravine.
The duck lies shredded in a pancake,
F Esoaking in the hoisin of your lies.
Am GThe dog has moved from the pipe to 60 cigarettes a day,
and coughs away his life in the cold neon research lab of your betrayal.
F G AmOf your betrayal...(fade)
Love You Loads Nat!!
