[Bm] _ _ _ I [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ entered [F#m] a room filled [D] with elbows [Bm] and _ _ knees.
_ _ [E] A lantern _ [F#m] was hanging by [Bm] a cereal-less painting. _
_ _ _ [A] I opened my [F#m]
mouth, _ shrapnel [Dm] sailed [E] through [Bm] the air.

_ [A] Tonight [E] I [F#m] want to lay with [D] someone who doesn't [Bm] care. _ _
[A] If my laces are [F#m] tight, _ or [D] my background is [Bm] poor, _
[E] Is this too much to _ [F#m] ask? _
[D] Take this lock of [Bm] my hair _ [A] and lead [E] me [F#] to a lover [E] of [D] the [Bm] creosote stance.
There, _
_ _ _ _ [A] her skin was [F#m] the color of [Bm] an Italian [D] summer. _
_ _ _ [Am] Her eyes [F#m] carried sadness _ and _ [D] _ _ _
the [Bm] burden of _ _ _ [A] her skin of [F#m] tangled curls remained [D] _
untouched by chemicals.
[Bm] _ _ _
An [A] ancestral _ [E] [F#m] trait that [Bm] made her mother _ proud.
She said [A] she lived [F#m] by the ocean, [D] but she longed for other [Bm] fields, _ [A] for other streets, and other [F#m] _ alleys where [D] _ crimes are [Bm] committed. _ _
[A] She commented [E] on my [F#m] lips, _ _ [D] then we slowly _ _ [B] undressed. _ _
[A] I called upon the [F#m] nine sisters while [D] she called out [Bm] my _ _ _ name. _ _ _ _ _ _

[A] Her neck, _ [F#m] I sit staring [D] on the edge of the [Bm] bed. _ _
Come [A] back down to [E] me boy, [F#m] _ _ _
[D] for my feet are getting [Bm] cold. _
Though [A] your mind [G#m] be [F#m] a hive, your [A] best [D] body needs [Em] its [Bm] rest. _ _
[A] I just sucked on a cigarette, [F#m] _ _ like [D] a child on a [Bm] breast. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] Tonight I [E]
[F#] want to lay with [D] someone who doesn't [B] _
