	        Lucy: 
C 
And I will go nowhere 
That you can find me 
F               Am 
And I will stay there 
Em                      G 
Until such time as he 
C 
Can look into my eyes 
Without being terrified 
Am              G       Am 
I scare you into sleep? 
Em                         G 
I scare myself sometimes 

C 
And it got lost somewhere 
On some forgotten line 
Am 
I can't remember much 
Em                  G 
But when I do, I hide 
C 
From all that I've become 
And everything I sing 
   F              Am 
I scare you into sleep? 
   F                                    G 
I scare myself sometimes 




         Am          G 
(Lucy) I won't be somewhere 
                                                  F 
(Will) The security cameras can't find me 
                       G 
(Lucy) Far from jurisdiction 
                                        F 
(Will) Of anything concrete 
                        G               Em 
(Lucy) Ignore the advertising tattooed 
G 
(Will) Across the sky 
         Am                   G                                                 Am 
(Both) And we'll paint borders on the borders in my mind 

G   C 

Wil 
C 
And your smile always tells me 
That you know something 
         G                                 F 
Your hair splayed out on the pillow 
Am        Em                    G 
Like a fire orange warning 
       C 
And we've both had some times 
And we've both seen some things 
        G                       Am 
How strangers dehumanise 
         Em                     G 
That holy scary struggling 
           C 
Stayed meaningless for the most of it 
                                                                        F 
Now holds a lofty place above all that self-destruction shit 

'Cos I know 
         G 
(Both)When I hold you I feel everything 

Both 
            C                      G 
And we dance the only dance that I ever learned the steps to 
         F                             G 
In the closed-in country silence I swear 
                               Em      F 
I can feel every single inch of you 
                    G 
And after that guilty primal fanfare I swear 
You never were so beautiful 
F                   G 
You taste like milk and cigarettes 
                                                 F 
And that's all that I could ever ask of you 
         G 
Ask of you 
        C       G     Am 
Ask of you, you, you 
          F 
Ask of you 
          G 
Ask of you 
          C 
Ask of you 

        F 
(Lucy)I just want to be over you 
        G                        Am        G 
(Will) And I just want you all over me 
        F                       G 
(Lucy) I just want to be over you 
        C            Em              Am     G 
(Will) And I just want you all over me 
          F                     G 
(Lucy) I just want to be over you 
        C               G                Am     
(Will) And I just want you all over me 

Both 
F 
All over me 
G 
All over me 

F                                G                      C 
And we'll dance the only dance we ever knew
