	        Intro: 
G      D         F         G C  
G           D          F 

G              D               F         G C 
It's dark at four PM in Leeds 
G                                    D         F 
 the steeples pierce the skylight till the last of it bleeds 
G               D              F                              Gm Cm F      C Cm 
The absent sound of another day as it recedes into the shadows until it's nothing 
G              D                                 F         G C 
Fax papers slipped under the hotel room door  
G                          D           F 
like food for the prisoner or the prospect to the whore 
G               D              F                              Gm     Cm      F     C      Cm 
Well fed and halfway drunk I ache myself for more until I'm shadows of myself until I'm nothing 
C               A7             G      Cm      
Sixteen black churches burning on the TV  
C               A7             G      Cm 
all the way from Texas to Tennessee 
C               A7             G              Cm     Gm     Cm     F              C Cm 
a politician locks my eye and says to me there is no crisis here there's no conspiracy 
G              D               F                              G C 
I crave inertia every move made so I can stop 
G                       D              F 
Whatever this madness is in me spinning like a top  
G       D              F                              Gm     Cm      F     C      Cm 
on a bed of anxiety over a deep dark drop down into nothingness into without-youness 
C               A7             G      Cm      
Was it ever so evil creep like ivy,  
C               A7                     G      Cm      
toe hold on the stronger half of nature's dichotomy 
C               A7             G      Cm      
Beating back a path through nothing more than pure insistence 
Gm      Cm     F              C Cm 
Until here becomes the distance 

Interlude: 
G              D               F         G C 
G                                    D         F Gm  Cm      F     C      Cm 

G              D               F         G C 
Hold my head love I'm sick tonight  
G                   D                    F       
find the open hole and press your finger there will all your might  
G               D                      F               
before the last ounce of my spirit bleeds 
Gm      Cm     F              C Cm          G 
onto the pristine sheets of the hotel bed in Leeds
