[VERSE] (acoustic guitar)
 
Fmaj7/C              Em            Dsus2
A mother sings a lullaby to a child
                A                   Fmaj7/C
Sometime in the future the boy goes wild
            Em                                Dsus2       A
And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy
 
Fmaj7/C           Em                Dsus2
A walk in the woods and I will try
                    A                   Fmaj7/C
Something under the trees that made you cry
         Em                       Dsus2     Dsus2
It's so erotic when your make up runs
 
 
[CHORUS] (acoustic guitar)
 
  A                            Em
  I got wiring loose inside my head
 
  I got books that I never ever read
  A                          Em
  I got secrets in my garden shed
 
  I got a scar where all my urges bled
  A                          Em
  I got people underneath my bed
 
  I got a place where all my dreams are dead
    Bb             Cadd9             Dsus2
    Swim with me into your blackest eyes
 
 
Dsus2  Fmaj7/C  Dsus2  Fmaj7/C
 
Dsus2  Fmaj7/C  Dsus2  Dsus2
 
 
[VERSE]
 
Fmaj7/C                Em            Dsus2
A few minutes with me inside my van
                A
Should be so beautiful if we can
Fmaj7/C          Em               Dsus2    Dsus2
I'm feeling something taking over me
 
  A                            Em
  I got wiring loose inside my head
 
  I got books that I never ever read
  A                           Em
  I got secrets in my garden shed
 
  I got a scar where all my urges bled
  A                          Em
  I got people underneath my bed
 
  I got a place where all my dreams are dead
    Bb            Cadd9             (Dsus2)
    Swim with me into your blackest eyes

              A mother sings a lullaby to a child
Sometime in the future the boy goes wild
And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy

A walk in the woods and I will try
Something under the trees that made you cry
It's so erotic when your make up runs

I got wiring loose inside my head
I got books that I never ever read
I got secrets in my garden shed
I got a scar where all my urges bled
I got people underneath my bed
I got a place where all my dreams are dead
Swim with me into your blackest eyes

A few minutes with me inside my van
Should be so beautiful if we can
I'm feeling something taking over me
