[Bm][D][Bm][D]

[Verse 1]
[C]I have nev[Bm]er known peace
Like the [G]damp [F]grass that [C]yields to [D]me
[C]I have nev[Bm]er known hunger
Like these [G]insects [F]that fea[C]st on me[D]
[C]A tho[Bm]u- sand teeth
And [G]yours among them, I know
[C]Our hun[Bm]gers appeased
Our [G]heart[F]beats be[C]coming [D]slow

[Pre-chorus 1]
We'll [D]lay [G]here for [A]years or for [D]hours
[Em]Thrown here or [D]found, to [Em]freeze or to [D]thaw
[D]So [G]long, we'd [A]become the [D]flowers
Two [Em]corpses we [D]were, two corpses I saw

[Chorus 1]
And [D]they'd find us in a week
When the weather gets hot
[G]After the [A]insects have [Em]made their [D]claim
I'd be [Bm]home with [D]you, I'd be [Bm]home with [D]you

[Verse 2]
[C]I have nev[Bm]er known sleep
Like this [G]slum[F]ber that [C]creeps [D]to me
[C]I have nev[Bm]er known colour
Like this [G]mor[F]ning re[C]veals [D]to me
[C]And you haven[Bm]'t moved an inch
[G]Such that I would not know
[C]If you sle[Bm]ep always like this
The [G]flesh [F]calmly [C]going [D]cold

[Pre-chorus 2]
We'll [D]lay [G]here for [A]years or for [D]hours
Your [Em]hand in my [D]hand, so [Em]still and dis[D]creet
[D]So [G]long, we'd [A]become the [D]flowers
We'd [Em]feed well the [D]land and worry the sheep

[Chorus 2]
And [D]they'd find us in a week
When the cattle show fear
[G]After the [A]insects have [Em]made their [G]claim
After the [A]foxes have [Em]known our [G]taste
I'd be [Bm]home with [D]you, I'd be [Bm]home with [D]you

[Bridge 1]
[D]They'd find [G]us in a [A]week[D]
When the [G]weather gets [A]hot[D]
And they'd find [G]us in a [A]week[D]
When the [G]cattle show [A]fear[D]

[Outro 1]
And they'd find us in a week
When the buzzards get loud
After the insects have made their claim
After the foxes have known our taste
After the raven has [D]had its say
I'd be [Bm]home with [D]you, I'd be [Bm]home with [D]you
I'd be [Bm]home with [D]you, I'd be [Bm]home with [D]you
I'd be [Bm]home with [D]you, I'd be [Bm]home with

[Outro 2]
