Lyrics

(Wild green (Cmaj7)stones

a (Bm7)lone my (Cmaj7)lov er.)

(Cmaj7)(Ah.)

Bite chunks (Bm7)out of me,

you’re a shark and (Bm7)I’m swim ming.

Heart still thumps (Bm7)as I bleed

and all your friends

come sniff ing.

Tri an gles are (Bm7)my favou rite shape,

three points where (Bm7)two lines meet.

Toe to toe, back to (Bm7)back, let’s go, my (Cmaj7)love; it’s ver y late,

till (Cmaj7)morn ing comes,

let’s tes sel late.

(Cmaj7)Go

a (Bm7)lone my (Am7)flow er

and (Cmaj7)keep

my (Bm7)whole love ly (Am7)you,

wild green (Cmaj7)stones

a (Bm7)lone my (Am7)lov er

and (Cmaj7)keep

us (Bm7)on my (Am7)heart.

Three guns and one goes off,

one’s emp ty, and one’s not quick e nough.

One burn, one red, one grin search the graves while the cam ’ra spins.

Chunks of you will (D)sink down, seals

blub ber rich in mourn ing.

They’ll nosh you up, they’ll nosh the (D)love a way but it’s fair to say

you will still haunt me.

Tri an gles are (Bm7)my favou rite shape,

three points where (Bm7)two lines meet.

Toe to toe, back to (Bm7)back, let’s go, my (Am7)love; it’s so late,

till (Cmaj7)morn ing comes.

(D)Wild green (Em)stones

a (D)lone my (Am7)lov er.

And (Em)keep

us (D)on my (Am7)heart.
