Introduction: Gm
Gm
There&rsquo s a second wind coming
Gm
As we lie here in our bed
Gm
It rattles the bones of our fathers
Gm
Carries whispers from the dead
Gm
And you, you light a candle
Gm
And I make sure the bairns are fed
Gm
You turn the telly on
Gm
To drown out your fear
Gm
You make the bed up silent on the floor
Gm
So no-one will hear us
Gm
You try so loud to love me
Gm
I cannot seem to hear
Gm
'Cause you, you touch ('Cause you, you touch)
Gm
My skin peels off like paint (My pain)
Gm
But beneath all of our panting (All our)
Gm
There&rsquo s this noise I cannot shake (Panting shame)
Gm
Can&rsquo t you hear that scratching?
Gm
There&rsquo s something at the door
Gm
But the wind has picked us up now
Gm
We&rsquo re hanging in the air
Gm
And as you grip me like an animal
Gm
That you&rsquo re about to spear
Gm
&lsquo Be good to me,&rsquo I whisper
Gm
And you say &lsquo What?&rsquo
Gm
And I say &lsquo Nothing dear&rsquo
Cm
Can&rsquo t you hear it?
Gm
It can hear you
N.C
G5 Gm
Throw the plate at the wall
Gm
I&rsquo m the paper cut that kills you
Gm
I&rsquo m the priest that you ignored
Gm
I&rsquo m the touch you crave, I&rsquo m the plans that you made
Gm
But fuck all your plans I&rsquo m bored
F
And can&rsquo t you hear that scratching?
Gm
I ask your eyes
Gm
I&rsquo ve got knuckle burn from typing all these lines into your chest
Gm
And as the belt from your buckle is tightening I make shipwrecks out of my dress
F Dm
And the door below it splinters
Gm
And the creature creeps inside
Gm
And we fall into each other
Fm
The scratching grows so loud
Gm
Because that unwanted animal
Fm
Wants nothing more than to get out
F
And I scream, &lsquo What&rsquo s the time Mr Wolf?&rsquo
Dm Gm
But you, you&rsquo re blind, you bleat, you bear your claws
Gm
And you rip my ribcage open
Gm
And devour what&rsquo s truly yours
Gm
And our screaming joins in unison
Gm
I cry out to the lord
F
'Cause if we join our hands in prayer enough
Dm Gm
To God I imagine it all starts to sound like applause
Cm
Can&rsquo t you hear it?
Gm Dm
It can hear you
Cm Gbm Gb
It wants me to&hellip
Cm
And those plates they smash like waves
(Place your hand in mine)
D
And on the wind it howls
(How long can this last?)
Eb
But that second wind is coming, love, it&rsquo s coming for all we own
F
And on the creature scratches, it doesn&rsquo t know how to get out (Let me out)
Cm
And you, you follow philosophies
Cm
But me, I laugh I choke
D
&lsquo Well hello, my hollow Holofernes&rsquo
D
I wink but you don&rsquo t get the joke
Eb
&lsquo Hold the hand of the god-child&rsquo they said
Eb
&lsquo As he falls from the sky'
F
'Be good to me' I beg of him
F
'Be good to me' I beg of him
Gm F
Be good, be good, be good, be good, be good, be good, be good
D5 D
And he replies
(&lsquo No no, not I&rsquo )
