Verse 1:
[Dm]There's a hunger i[Eb]n the air, a lemon swollen in the trees[Bb]
[Dm]But shadows fall a[Eb]cross the moon, I strain my [Cm]ears towards[Gm] the bre[Eb]eze[C] [F]
[Dm]I wasted summer lis[Eb]tening, secluded as a cemetery[Bb]
[Dm]Withered limbs unde[Eb]r the sand, for an hourglass e[Gm]tern[Cm]ity[Bb] [C]
Chorus:
[Bb]You are an a[Gm]lbatross around my neck
[Bb]When you needed to knock [Gm]me on the head and say
[F#]No no no n[F]o
Verse 2: (I honestly don't know if these lyrics are correct or not... sorry!)
[Dm]Jackal legs and [Eb]tangled dogs
[Ab]Are clutching d[Eb]arkest fore[Bb]stry
[Dm]A woman dangles from[Eb] a bridge on a thread of sil[Cm]ver mercury[Gm] [Eb] [Ebm]
Chorus:
[Bb]You are an a[Gm]lbatross around my neck
[Bb]When you needed to knock [Gm]me on the head and say
[F#]No no no n[F]o
