Introdução:
G Am Em
through the hem of evening
G Am Em
into the flesh of the night
G Am Em
you step out to receive them
C
in the bruising light
G Am Em
you leave your bed of novels
G Am Em
you leave your hovering crown
G Am Em
you leave your wit and your mettle
C
and you come down
C Em D
but it's only a minute then
C Em D
til the hole in the canvas spreads
C Em G AmEm
and it grows til there's nothing left
G Am Em
so if you even remember
G Am Em
me after all that will come
G Am Em
think of all i intended
C
not what i've done
G Am Em
see me like an arrow
G Am Em
still upon the bow
G Am Em
set to the heart of the target
C
hanging bright above
C Em D
but it's only a minute then
C Em D
til the shot is released and sent
C Em G AmEm
and lost to the shifting wind
G Am D
(key change!)
D G Bm A
oh they don't know you, not like i do, not like us, harriet
D G Bm A
but they would love you, just like i do, if they could, harriet
D G Bm A
cause what you are, and what you want, are so far apart, and they're travelling on
D G Bm A
oh what you are is staggering drunk, but i'll pick you up and i'll carry you off
(key change!)
E A C#m B
oh they don't know you, not like i know you, not like us, harriet
E A C#m B
but they would love you, just like i love you, if they could, harriet
