VERSE: (acoustic guitar)
-------------------------
F/C e Dsus2
A mother sings a lullaby to a child
A F/C
Sometime in the future the boy goes wild
e Dsus2 A
And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy
F/C e Dsus2
A walk in the woods and I will try
A F/C
Something under the trees that made you cry
e Dsus2 Dsus2
It's so erotic when your make up runs
CHORUS: (acoustic guitar)
--------------------------
A e
I got wiring loose inside my head
I got books that I never ever read
A e
I got secrets in my garden shed
I got a scar where all my urges bled
A e
I got people underneath my bed
I got a place where all my dreams are dead
Bb C Dsus2
Swim with me into your blackest eyes
Dsus2, F/C, Dsus2, F/C,
Dsus2, F/C, Dsus2, Dsus2
VERSE:
-------
F/C e Dsus2
A few minutes with me inside my van
A
Should be so beautiful if we can
F/C e Dsus2 Dsus2
I'm feeling something taking over me

Bb C (Dsus2)
Swim with me into your blackest eyes
