[Verse 1]
And you [Em]said [Bm]it was like fire[C]
around the [Em]brim[Bm]
Burning [C]solid, burning thin
the burning [Em]rim[Bm]
Like [C]stars burning holes
right through the [Em]dark[Bm]
Flicking [C]fire like saltwater into my [Em]eyes[Bm]
You were one [C]inch from the edge
of this [Em]bed[Bm]
I drag you [C]back a sleepy[Em]head,[D][C]
sleepy[Em]head[G][C]

[Verse 2]
[Em]They[Bm] couldn't think of [C]something
to say the day [Em]you burst
[Bm]With all their lions[C] and all their might
and all their [Em]thirst
[Bm]They crowd your bedr[C]oom
like some thoughts wearing [Em]thin
[Bm]Against the wall[C]s, against your rules,
against [Em]your skin
[Bm]My beard grew down[C] to the floor
and out through the [Em]doors
[Bm]And of your eyes[C], begonia skies
like a sleepy[Em]head,[D][C]
sleepy[Em]head[G][C][C]
