[Intro 1]
[F][C][F][Em][G][F][C][F][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Mamma [F]said,
lift your [C]head [F]from the sieve of your [Em]hands.[G]
Mamma [C]said [F]even[C]tually this hurt
[F]ing will en[G]d.[C][G]
[F]But the shockwaves on my
[C]bones [F]will linger,

[Verse 2]
Like the ghost of you here in my bed.
When I [F]was lost [C]you thought me
[F]a beautiful [Em]find.[G]
Sometimes [F]I think of you sleeping,
[C]so [F]sleep for a w[G]hile.[C][G]
I find my[F]self asking who'd do [C]this [F]to love,
And the white- shouldered
[G]mountains [Bm]they pointed [C]above.

[Verse 3]
[C]Lord you [F]just dropped me [C]here
[F]by the side of this [Em]road.[G]
Out here's [F]too cold and I don't [C]want
[F]to walk [G]it alone.[C][G]
I've got [F]a bottle of your [Em]blood [F]inside me,
And on old beggar's [G]prayer on the tip of my [C]tongue.

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][Dm][F][Dm]

[F][Dm][C]

[Verse 4]
[C]Mamma [F]said,
lift your [C]head [F]from the sieve of your [G]hands.
Mamma said [F]that eventually
[C]thi[F]s hurting will end..[C].
