Capo 10


Am         C 
I've been left 

Em          G 
To lick my wounds 

        Am C 
For too long 

        Em 
Down to bone 



Am        C 
Calloused tongue 

      Em 
Itchy teeth 

      G                 Am C 
Metal mouth with rubber gums 

             Em G 
I can't talk now 




Chorus 


G       D      Am 
Hold me for an hour 

C       E7       F 
Flowers bloom in less 

      G          D         Am 
We'll brace this crumbling tower 

    C       E7    F 
The harvest of distress 



Am     C 
Eke me out 

Em      G 
Make me last 

       Am     C 
I am a broken ship 

          Em 
A sinking mast 



Am            C 
You filled me up 
  
             Em 
And made the holes 

           G 
With fingertips 

              Am      C 
Red nails and cutting words 

        Em G 
Patch me up 



Chorus 

G       D      Am 
Hold me for an hour 

C       E7       F 
Flowers bloom in less 

      G          D         Am 
We'll brace this crumbling tower 

    C       E7    F 
The harvest of distress
