D    Dsus4    D        Bm       A    G
Do I murder when I forget you from afar
D                          Dsus4    D
Too drunk on the poison of endless roads
          Bm        A     G
And the countless smokey bars

Chorus:
    Em          Bm    G
But tension is to be loved
     A             Em        D
When it is like a passing note
      G          A          D
To a beautiful, beautiful chord

Do I murder us putting pavement in my veins
Shooting in that special heroin
For the seeking and displaced
