Sedated Cifras

[Intro]
 
Am Em F C Dm Em Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Am
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
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
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
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
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  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               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
