verses

Gm D#5
stranger than kindness
Gm D#5
bottled light from hotels
A#5 Gm
spilling everything
D#5
wet hand from the volcano
Gm D#5 Gm
sobers your skin
D D7
stranger than kindness

Gm D#5
you caress yourself
Gm D#5
and grind my soft cold bones below
A#5 Gm
your map of desire
D#5
burned in your flesh
Gm
even a fool can come
D#5
a strange lit stair
Gm
and find a rope hanging there
D D7
stranger than kindness

Gm D#5
keys rain like heaven’s hair
Gm D#5
there is no home there is no bread
A# Gm
we sit at the gate and scratch
D#5 Gm
the gaunt fruit of passion
D#5 Gm
dies in the light
D D7
stranger than kindness

Gm D#5
your sleeping hands
Gm D#5
they journey the loiter
A# Gm
stranger than kindness
D#5 Gm
you hold me so carelessy close
D#5 Gm
tell me i’m dirty

F9 Gm F9 Gm

F9 Gm D Gm
