Who Fell Asleep Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Ab][C][Am][G][Em][G][Ab][Am][G][Em][G]
[Ab][C][G][Em]
[G]She [Ab]turned [G]her back

[Verse 1]
on the church and put all her faith in me
At the [C]back of the chapel where I [Em]taught
her to screw and to blas[G]pheme[Em]
[G]We turned our backs [Em]to t[G]he church,
with our trousers [Em]around our [G]knees
[C]While screaming the scriptures,
she screamed [Em]I was her favorite heresy
[G][Em][G][Em]

[Verse 2]
[Asus4]In a note I [G]read,[Asus4]
[Am]"If you [C]should go blind and deaf
I'll [G]cleanse and I'll bathe you
and I'll [C#dim]cook for you daily.
I [Em]will [Asus4]take a dry ball[Am]point pen
and [C]trace on yr chest
All of [G]the same conversations
we [Em]have now in bed"
I don't mean to [Asus4]be selfish,
[Am]but I think I'd [C]sooner just be d[G]ead

[Verse 3]
[C]Behind the [Em]tennis court [G]alongside [Am]the river[G],
not a [C]single live [Em]flower [G]to see[Am][G]
[C]This is [Em]the one girl who [G]woke [Em]up f[G]rom all th[Am]at,
[C]and now falls [D]asleep next to me
[G]But I s[Em]wear now[G], eve[Em]ry time that I kiss he[C#dim]r,
[Em]she [Asus4]feels her God breathe on h[Am]er s[C]houlder
It pains me, but I'm sure she's [G]still yrs
She said she wanted a [C]sea

[Verse 4]
burial,
not [Em]grass and hypodermics to her [G]hips
I prune the ivy from yr
grandmother's tomb
More [C]tender and careful than [Am]the su[Em]perstitious
ripped you from yr mothers womb
[G][Bb][G][Bb]

[Verse 5]
[Am]In a note I wrote,
"I [C]think too much about the end
But [G]be [Gm]ing a[G]round it made me
[C#dim]feel like I'm coping now.
When [A]I v[Am]iew the cemetery,
I [C]don't see headstones
I see rows [G]of engraved middle teeth,
hungry, [Em]waiting for me
And though I [Asus4]am fearful,
[A]I t[Am]hink I jus[C]t crave the rel[G]ief"

[Verse 6]
[C]Behind the [Em]tennis court [G]alongside [Am]the river,
[G]pa per [C]flowers, still [Em]beautiful [G]thing[Am]
[C]This is [Em]the one girl who [G]woke up [Asus4]from all [G]that,
and [C]now falls [D]asleep next to me
[G]But I s[Em]wear now, every time that I kis[C#dim]s her,
[Em]she feel[Asus4]s her God breathe on her s[Am]houl[C]der

[Outro 1]
It pains me, but I'm sure she's [G]still yrs
[Bb][G][Bb][G][Bb][G][Bb][G]
[Em]
