Up the stairwell, chip-fat grey and London green with damp
Out on the fifth floor, where the wind grips your jaw and holds you in its clamp
There is a red door, bordered by mottled glass
And inside there is a lighted lamp
Pious lives here, pious is tired
But she can't sleep, she twitches, wired
She lies beside a sleeping woman, a girl she barely knows
She met her in the pub and yes it went the way it goes
The girl's name is Rose, but pious is lovesick for her thorn
Her thorn left her a couple of summers back, since then pious can't get warm
She has carried her, stuck in her side since the day that she was born
She dreamed of her, and knew her shake
Long before she saw her form
But now it's 4.18 and pious has been staring at the walls for hours
She tells herself this is all her fault
She doesn't love, she just devours
[Dm] Can't sleep, so much to do, trying to get closer to you when you're so far away
Trying to get a hold of what's true and what's true isn't true when it stays
Tell [Gm] me, how can I sleep?
Got so [G] much to do
I'm trying to get closer to you when you're [B] so far away
All that I say and I [Bb] do are things that you do
And you [Dm] say, how come I'm becoming the one that I'm running from?
Hunting, razzling my words in the pub, feeling nervous, over excited
Arms out of waist of a girl who might make you a [Gm] rat for a nightmare
She takes me to pieces, that light beside her awake while she [B] sleeps
And I feel much closer to you than I [Bb] felt when you were still here
Still [D] fearful you'll reappear
I'm thinking [C] of you and the [D] things you do to me
[D] I'm thinking [G] of you and the things [B] you do to me
[Bb]
[Dm] Ain't none of it okay, shame, so much shame
Can't bear my frame, can't bear your name, okay, can't [D] bear this game
Let's play new rules, old rituals, guilt trip, heart string [Dm] snap
One, two, can't go back, too much, not enough
I can't get your paws out my [D] tush
I'm thinking of you and the things you do to me
I'm thinking [Gm] of you and [G] the things [B] you do to me
[Bb] [Dm] This in my mind, get out of it, you didn't want it
How come you're still hanging around in it?
This in my body, let go of it, you didn't want it
How come you're still controlling it?
This in my mind, now get lost in it
This in my bridge, stop crossing it
This in my [A] space, stop smiling, this is my face
You've been gone so long, how come I still find you?
[D] Hide it, fight your need, I'm fighting my darkest past
And I'm frightened, nightmares tighten my hands round my old throat
[Eb] Cause you're the snake charm of a numb, [Gm] the old rope
No hope, just go now, please, just please
Still in the air, the tight breathe, I'm [B] stranded
Arm down, stress for the body, any [Bb] body
Here's a body but I wake up, [G] I can't stand it
I feel so [Dm] grubby, no one can stop, just love me
Breath like a cigarette stubbed in the gutter
[A] Please come and put me away, don't touch me, it's [G] ugly
Push and pull from cold feet, feet [Gm] looking for the flames
For the one that feels the most [B] dangerous
I can't believe you're in love again
[Bb] I can't open my heart to [D] anybody but you
I'm thinking [C] of you
And the things you do to me
[Dm] I'm thinking [Gm] of you
And the things [B] you do to me
[Bb] I'm thinking [D] of you
And the things you do to me
I'm thinking [G] of you
[Gm] And the things [B] you do to me
