Well, Benjamin Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Well, Ben[G] ja[D]min[C][Em][G][D]
[C]You crashed your plane aga[D]in
[G]A beautiful [D]tai[Em]lspin
It was [G]go ing to hap[D]pen [C]soon enough
[Em]The only quest[G]ion was [D]when[C]
'Cause I could smell [D]the flames
Just [G]sleeping [D]on your [G]skin
[Am]

[Verse 2]
And [C]I love you for [G]the things you do
And I don't [Em]care who you [Am]do them to
You can [C]wrap your stupid
[G]suffering around [D]me
Because [C]I thought it out,
in [G]the time I've got
And I don't [Em]care if I [Am]drown or not
I just [C]want to crash [G]into that same cold sea
[D]

[Verse 3]
On an [G]airport [D]"USA [C]Tod[Em]ay," in
a [G]dark [D]black ball[C]point pen
You write, "These people
are like [D]skeletons
Wrapped [G]up in per[D]fumed [Em]skin"
And [G]it's such a stu[D]pid sen[C]timent
[Em]But writ[G]e it once [D]agai[C]n
Let your anger fill the mar[D]gin
And I'll [G]kiss your [D]shaking hand.
[Am]

[Verse 4]
'Cause [C]I love you for [G]the things you see
And [Em]I don't mind if you se[Am]e me
With my [C]wrinkled hands an[G]d glazed eyes
As obscene
[D]You're rig[C]ht in ways
[G]that you don't know
And you're un[Em]touched by the un[Am]dertow
All that [C]speed and anger
[G]burns your body clean
[D]

[Verse 5]
And [C]I love you for the [G]things you feel
[D]So tho[Em]roughly that they tur[D]n rea[Am]l
As [D]the sea [C]comes rushing [G]toward us
Dark and cold
[D]And [C]your rowmate, this non[G]entity
As [D]the scream[Em] s and salt
sea [D]smother [Am]me
Will [C]reach out a wrinkled [G]hand
for you [D]to hold

[Verse 6]
[D]
But now the [C]landing gear is
starting to [D]unfold
The cap[C]tain points the runway
out [D]below
Where the Kent ac[C]count
is waiting to be [D]sold
And where [C]you're going, down there
[D]I don't know
