Indigo Girls - Leeds

intro :
G D F G C
G D F

G D F G C
it’s dark at four pm in leeds
G D F
the steeples pierce the skylight till the last of it bleeds
G D F Gm Cm F C Cm
the absent sound of another day as it recedes into the shadows until it’s nothing
G D F G C
fax papers slipped under the hotel room door
G D F
like food for the prisoner or the prospect to the whore
G D F Gm Cm F C Cm
well fed and halfway drunk i ache myself for more until i’m shadows of myself until i’m nothing
C A7 G Cm
sixteen black churches burning on the tv
C A7 G Cm
all the way from texas to tennessee
C A7 G Cm Gm Cm F C Cm
a politician locks my eye and says to me there is no crisis here there’s no conspiracy
G D F G C
i crave inertia every move made so i can stop
G D F
whatever this madness is in me spinning like a top
G D F Gm Cm F C Cm
on a bed of anxiety over a deep dark drop down into nothingness into without – youness
C A7 G Cm
was it ever so evil creep like ivy ,
C A7 G Cm
toe hold on the stronger half of nature’s dichotomy
C A7 G Cm
beating back a path through nothing more than pure insistence
Gm Cm F C Cm
until here becomes the distance

interlude :
G D F G C
G D F Gm Cm F C Cm

G D F G C
hold my head love i’m sick tonight
G D F
find the open hole and press your finger there will all your might
G D F
before the last ounce of my spirit bleeds
Gm Cm F C Cm G
onto the pristine sheets of the hotel bed in leeds
