Kunci Gitar Aimee Mann - Avalanche

[Verse 1]
G#m E
Well I stepped into an avalanche
G#m F# G#m
It covered up my soul;
E
When I am not this hunchback that you see
G#m F# G#m
I sleep beneath the golden hill
B F#
You who wish to conquer pain
G#m E D#
You must learn, learn to serve me well

[Verse 2]
G#m E
You strike my side by accident
G#m F# G#m
As you go down for your gold
E
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
G#m F# G#m
Is neither starved nor cold;
B F#
He does not ask for your company
G#m E D#
Not at the centre, the centre of the world

[Verse 3]
G#m E
When I am on a pedestal
G#m F# G#m
You did not raise me there
E
Your laws do not compel me
G#m F# G#m
To kneel grotesque and bare
B F#
I myself am the pedestal
G#m E D#
For this ugly hump at which you stare

[Verse 4]
G#m E
You who wish to conquer pain
G#m F# G#m
You must learn what makes me kind;
G#m E
The crumbs of love that you offer me
G#m F# G#m
They’re the crumbs I’ve left behind
B F#
Your pain is no credential here
G#m E D#
It’s just the shadow, shadow of my wound

[Verse 5]
G#m E
I have begun to long for you
G#m F# G#m
I who have no greed
E
I have begun to ask for you
G#m F# G#m
I who have no need
B F#
You say you’ve gone away from me
G#m E D#
But I can feel you when you breathe

[Verse 6]
G#m E
Do not dress in those rags for me
G#m F# G#m
I know you are not poor
G#m E
You don’t love me quite so fiercely now
G#m F# G#m
When you know that you are not sure
B
It is your turn, beloved
G#m E D#
It is your flesh that I wear
