Newborn Tab

by Elbow


Just rough chords really, I know its not perfect but I wanted to try. 

Capo 1.

              
I'll be the corpse in your bathtub
 
Useless 
                    
I'll be as deaf as a post 
                       
If you hold me like a newborn
  
Newborn
  
HaaAhh  (whisper what you feel)

Haaaaaaaaa

///



Same for the next bit...

My badly strung declaration 
To You 
You'll spend the end of your days 
Gently smiling like a newborn 
Newborn
HaaAhh
Haaaaaaaaa

x2

Then:

Press your lips
To my eyes 
Taste my tears 
On your tongue, 
Pull the blinds 
Play our song 
Nothings changed 
Nothing could be wrong. 


             
Scream in the night 

Kick and strike 

Like a newborn 

Holding me shaking 

Awake in the dark 
            
All of these promises 

Kept and unbroken 

Tracing the scars 

Tracing the scars
        
Even and cold 
                 
As we both become older.

Your arms bound about me 

The hush in your voice. 
                  
The warmth of your fingers 
               
Entwined around mine 

In the eve of our lives 

Never a choice.
