Chords for Kate Tempest - Grubby (6 Music Live Room Session)

_ _ 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.
Pius lives here.
Pius is tired.
She can't sleep.
She twitches, wired.
She lies beside a sleeping woman, a girl she barely knows.
She met her in the pub, it was good, and it went the way it goes.
The girl's name is Rose, but Pius is lovesick for her thorn.
Her thorn left her a couple of summers back.
Since then, Pius thinks she can't get warm.
She has carried her, stuck in her side, since the day that she was born.
She dreamed of her.
She knew her shape, long before she saw her form.
But now it's 4.18. Pius has been staring at the walls for hours.
She tells herself this is all her fault.
She doesn't love.
_ She just devours.
_ [D] _ _ _ [Dm] Can't sleep, so much to do, trying to get closer to you when you're so far away.
Trying to get hold of what's true and what's true isn't true when it's day.
[G] Tell me, how can I sleep?
I've got so much to do.
I'm trying to get closer to you when you're [Bm] so far away.
All that I say and I [Bb] do are things that you do and [E] you say.
How [Dm] come I'm becoming the one that I'm running from,
hunted by slurring my words in the pub, feeling nervous,
over-excited, arms down the [F] waist of a girl who might make it [G] alright for one night.
Yeah, she tears me to pieces.
Then I lie beside her,
waiting while she's [B] sleeping.
I feel much closer to you than I [Bb] felt when you were still here.
Still there, you [A] reappear.
I'm thinking [D] of you _ and the things you do to me.
_ [Am] _ [Dm] I'm thinking [Gm] of you and the things [Bm] you do to me.
[Bb] _ _ _ [D] _
Pain in my liver, okay, I'm shamed.
So much shame, I can't bear my frame.
Can't bear your name, [A] okay, can't bear this game.
Let's [D] play new rules, old rituals.
Guilt trip, heart string snap, wanting.
Can't go back, too much, not enough.
I can't get your claws out my guts.
[C] I'm thinking of you [Dm] _
[D] and the things you do to me. _
_ I'm [Gm] thinking of you _ and the things [B] you do to me. _
[Bb] _ _ _ [D] _ It's in my [Dm] mind, get out of it.
You don't want it.
How [D] come you're still hanging around in it?
[Dm] It's in my body, let go of it.
You don't want it.
How come you're still [A] controlling it?
It's in my [D] night, get lost in it.
It's in my bridge, stop crossing it.
[Dm] It's in my face, stop smiling.
This is my space.
You've been gone so long, how come you still find you [D] hide it?
Fighting me, I'm fighting.
The night is dark and I'm frightened.
Nightmares tighten, my hand ground my own throat.
Cause you're the snake charmer and I'm the old rope.
No hope, just go now.
Please just leave.
Feeling the air that I breathe, I'm [B] stranded.
Arms outstretched for a buddy.
Anybody, [Bb] here's a buddy.
But I [D] wake up, I can't stand them.
I feel so grubby.
Don't want, can't stop.
Just love me, breath like a cigarette stubbed in the gutter.
Come close, no wait, now [Dm] don't touch me, it's [Gm] ugly.
Push and pull, phone call, beep, beep.
Looking through names,
for the one that feels the most [B] dangerous.
I can't believe you're enough again.
I [Bb] can't open my heart to [A] anybody but strangers.
I'm [C] thinking of you [Dm] _ _ [C] and [D] the things [C] you do to [Dm] me.
_ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _
[C] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ you _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
