My Own Sunrise Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]When[D] we met,
it was in the [G]hot green [C]jungle[G]
Your per[D]fect flesh impervious
to [G]anything [C]fun[G]gal[D]
You would sweat [Em]coconut milk an[C]d
I'd lie awake, [G]restless with the
heat during the night
[Em]

[Verse 2]
[Eb]
Dawn would [G]come [D]and I would start
[Em]to feel my own sunrise
[Eb]But you'd just lie, [G]slee[C]ping

[Verse 3]
[C]And [G]so [D]we went away in
search of [G]gentler [C]breezes[G]
[D]When we arrived,
I longed to lie and [G]rustle in your [C]grasses[G]
[D]But you would not per
[Em]mit me to retire there
[C]None but a fly might set[G]tle on the
meadow of your leg
[Em]

[Verse 4]
[Eb]
Dawn would [G]come [D]and I would start
[Em]to feel my own sunrise
[Eb]But you'd just lie,[G]

[Interlude 1]
sleeping
[C][F][C][Dm][Gm][C]

[Verse 5]
[D]Then we moved on until we reached
[G]the tundra in [C]the [G]winter
[D]Of [G]course I l[Am]onged to [D]kiss
her frosty [G]teeth in [C]the cold [G]air
[D]But now I've grown blo[Em]ated
on seal [C]fat
Not even flies [G]will settle on
[D]the meadow [Em]of her leg

[Verse 6]
[Eb]
Dawn would [G]come [D]and I would start
[Em]to feel my own sun[G]rise
[Eb]But [G]you'[C]d [Eb]just lie,[Fsus4] sleeping[F][G][C]
