Intro:Am Em F C Dm Em AmAm
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
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
Am
Darlin’, don’t you, stand there watching, won’t you
F
Come and save me from it
Am
Darlin’, don’t you, join in, you’re supposed to
F
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

We are deaf, we are numb
