Am                 Em
I love you like I love my blood
   Dm                        Em
I love this town, I love you just as much
Am                 Em
I love you like I love my God
    Dm                       G
I thought that we agreed to never touch
Dm              F              C
Come and sit beside me in the dark
    G         D
Incline your head

Mama take a hold of me
I read bad books, I'm crying in my sleep
Mama take a hold of me
Lonely's easy for the rocks and trees
'Sister make my feelings known',
I whisper to the grass

Dm          F                   Am
Supersonic sight, practiced in thickest light
F C    F     C
9.30, hello night-time
F           Em    Dm
I'll never sleep again

Heaven in the afternoon
The sunlight bids me to the viewing room
I take a little overdose
And the sun has gone, I see the city clock
Baby did you pick yourself a boy up in the aisle?

Dm                   F
You want someone to read to you
   Em
A bear called Pooh
Dm
Tales of Ratty's riverbank
   C
A fantasy
 F
Baby stories
   C
A reverie
   F            C
A body warm in sympathy
   F            C
A body warm in sympathy
