Guilty As Sin?

[Verso 1]

Bm 
Drowning in the Blue Nile 
                     G 
He sent me Downtown Lights 
          D 
I hadn't heard it in a while 
Bm 
My boredom was bone deep 
                          G 
This cage was once just fine 
D 
Am I allowed to cry? 
Bm 
I dream of cracking locks 
                         G 
Throwing my life to the wolves 
                                        Bm 
Or the ocean rocks crashing into him tonight 

He's a paradox 

I'm seeing visions 
      G             Bm 
Am I bad or mad or wise? 


[Refrão]

                       D 
What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh 
      A     G 
Only in my mind? 
                       D 
One slip, I'm falling back into the hedge maze 
            A      G 
Oh, what a way to die 
                  D 
I keep recalling things we never did 
               A 
Messy top lip kiss 
                    G 
How I long for our trysts 
              A 
Without ever touching his skin 
         N.c.           Bm 
How can I be guilty as sin 


[Verso 2]

Bm                     G 
I keep these longings locked 
D                      Bm 
In lowercase inside a vault 

Someone told me there's no such things as bad 
G 
Thoughts 
D 
Only your actions talk 
Bm 
These fatal fantasies 
                        D 
Giving way too labored breath 

Taking all of me 
                             Bm 
We've already done it in my head 
                                              G 
If it's make believe, why does it feel like a vow 

We'll both uphold somehow? 



[Refrão]

                       D 
What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh 
      A     G 
Only in my mind? 
                       D 
One slip, I'm falling back into the hedge maze 
            A      G 
Oh, what a way to die 
                   D 
My bedsheets are ablaze, I screamed his name 
          A                      G 
Building up back waves crashing over my grave 
              A 
Without ever touching his skin 
         N.c.           D 
How can I be guilty as sin 


[Ponte]

         Bm                    G 
What if I roll the stone away? 
               A 
They're gonna crucify me anyway 
D                    Bm 
What if the way you hold me 
                    G 
Is actually what's holy 
   D                 Bm                 G 
If long-suffering propiety is what they want from me 
           A 
They don't know how you've haunted me so 
D 
Stunningly 
          Bm            G 
I choose you and me, religously 


[Refrão]

                       D 
What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh 
      A     G 
Only in my mind? 
                       D 
One slip, I'm falling back into the hedge maze 
            A      G 
Oh, what a way to die 
                  D 
I keep recalling things we never did 
               A 
Messy top-lip kiss 
                    G 
How I long for our trysts 
              A 
Without ever touching his skin 
         N.c.           D 
How can I be guilty as sin 

Final 

A                    G 
He sent me downtown lies 
                        D 
I hadn't heard it in a while 
A  G 
     Am I allowed to cry?
