[Intro]
[Am] [Em] [F] [C] [Dm] [Em] [Am]
[Verse]
[Am]Just a little rush, babe
To feel dizzy, to [F]derail the mind of me
[Am]Just a little hush, babe
Our veins are busy but my [F]heart's in atrophy
[Dm]Any [Am]way to dis[C]distract and sed[G]sedate
[Dm]Adding [Am]shadows to the w[F]walls of the [C]cave
[Chorus]
[Am]You and I nursi[Em]ng on[F] a poison that neve[C]r st[Dm]ung
Our teeth and lungs are lined [Em]with the [Am]scum of it
[Am]Some whiff of this dea[Em]death and [F]guts
We are [C]deaf, we are num[Dm]numb
Free and [Em]young and we can feel [Am]none of it
[Verse]
[Am]Something isn't right, babe
I keep catching the [F]words but the meaning's thin
I'm some[Am]somewhere outside my life, babe
I keep scratching but some[F]somehow I can't get in
[Dm]So we're [Am]slaves to an[C]any sEmblance [G]of touch
[Dm]Lord we [Am]should quit but we [F]love it too [C]much
[Chorus]
Se[Am]dated we're nurs[Em]ing o[F]n a poison that ne[C]ver stu[Dm]ng
Our teeth and lungs are lined [Em]with the [Am]scum of it
[Am]Some whiff of this dea[Em]death and [F]guts
We are [C]deaf, we are num[Dm]numb
Free and [Em]young and we can feel [Am]none of it
[Verse]
[C]Darlin', don't you, stand there watching, won't you
[Em]Come and save me from it
[C]Darlin', don't you, join in, you're supposed to
[Em]Drag me away from it
[Dm]Any [Am]way to dis[C]distract and sed[G]sedate
[Dm]Adding [Am]shadows to the w[F]walls of the [C]cave
[Chorus]
[Am]You and I nursi[Em]ng on[F] a poison that neve[C]r st[Dm]ung
Our teeth and lungs are lined [Em]with the [Am]scum of it
[Am]Some whiff of this dea[Em]death and [F]guts
We are [C]deaf, we are num[Dm]numb
Free and [Em]young and we can feel [Am]none of it
S[Am]Sedated we're nur[Em]nursing [F]on a poison that n[C]ever st[Dm]ung
Our teeth and lungs are lined [Em]with the [Am]scum of it
[Am]Some whiff of this dea[Em]death and [F]guts
We are [C]deaf, we are num[Dm]numb
Free and [Em]young and we can feel [Am]none of it
