Into The Shadows Of My Embrace Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I con[A]quered my own chi[F#m]ldhood sil[Bm]ence and now[F#m]
the world is [Bm]my lit conf[G]essional marqu[Em]ee,
But [A]it'd take [F#m]a busload of high[Bm] school socc[F#m]er
girls to [Bm]wash those [G]hospitals [Em]off me
[D]Oh, am I clean?
Nineteen.
They said sex will keep you young and make
you older at the same time,
They said sex will have left
you aged normally,
And so I guess it's sorta like smoking
and walking at the same time
In that it will have left you aged normally
Oh, am I clean?
Lord, please, why [Dsus4]me?[D]
I wish I could feel close to some
[Bm]body but [F#m]I don't feel nothing.
Now they say I [D]need to quit do[Bm]ing all
this [F#m]random [D]fff[Bm]f-[F#m]
And there's [D]other one's [Bm]peeping
through [F#m]the slits in my curtains
And I [D]never got a [Bm]name for
[F#m]my shady compulsion
'Cause i [D]messed up and kissed my
[Bm]shrink in a jersey [F#m]city hotel room.
And I [D]know saying all this in [Bm]public
should [F#m]make me feel f[A]unny,
But ya gotta [D]yell something [Bm]out
you'd never [A]tell [G]nobody.
We [D]found the dead fox, and a [Am]dozen matchbox cars,
when we [Em]cut back the hedges on Cor[G]telyou place,
How [D]many got lost left so [Am]long they grew moss 'cause
they re[Em]coiled into the shadows of [G]my embrace?
We [D]found the dead fox,
and a [Am]dozen matchbox cars
When we [Em]cut back the hedges
on cor[G]telyou place,
How [D]many got lost left so [Am]long they grew moss 'cause
they re[Em]coiled into the shadows of [G]my embrace?
Oh, [D]am [Am]I cle[Em]an?[G]
[D]Lord, ple[Am]ase, why[Em][G][D][Em][Am][Em][G]
[D][Am][Em][G]
[D][Am][Em][G][D][Am][Em]
[G]me?[D]
