Key: F
Introduction:
F
I used to be a king alone
C
Like Solomon or Rehoboam
F
And in this, a corvée day
C
Did jealous keep my picture frames
Em G C
And everything did oxidate in place
F
But then you came, a single cell
C
With astrolabe and carousel
F
And algebra and symmetry
C
And none of this was lost on me
Bb F
And I could see how still I'd been before
Bb F
If I don't eat, I don't sleep at all.
Bb
Like limbs in procession,
Dm
Like so many birds,
Bb
Stampeding like oxen,
Dm
Our hearts are a herd
C
I loved you in the bed,
Dm C
I loved you in the best way possible,
Dm
I loved you in the bed,
F A Bb
Did you see the light in my heart?
F A Bb
Did you see the sweat on my brow?
F A Bb
Did you see the fear in my heart?
F A Bb
Did you see me bleeding it out?
C
I loved you in the bed,
Dm C
I loved you in the best way possible,
Dm Bb
I loved you in the best way possible,
Dm C
I loved you in the best way possible,
Dm C
I loved you in the best way possible,
F
I loved you in the bed.
