Reaching for the Rail
guitar tabs lyrics
Am Em Am Em
C Em/B C E
Am Em
I'm ill with a fever, I feel like a child
Am Em
I lay in the dark 'til morning came.
C
It's so unoriginal
Em/B
And I feel it worse at night
C
I know it's not terminal
E
But I'm near half-dead fright
Am
And freezing cold.
Am
But sooner than woke up
Em
To find it all unchanged
Am Em
I'll sleep through the day til the daylight ends.
C
Cos it's all so familiar
Em/B
As it comes around again
C
The same taste to everything
E
The same unbroken chain
Am
That still remains.
F G Em/G Em
F G Em
F G
With morning I rise,
F Em
A dream that won't leave me,
F G
You're sad, naked and pale
Am
And you're reaching for the rail
Em
You took a look inside, how could you peel away
Am Em
Or break the shell, the hurt you've hidden so well
For all your days.
C
And you're going down
Em/B
As you slip beneath the waves,
C
Won't make a sound
E Am
Won't even leave a trace before you.
D/A C/G Bb/F Am/E
Dm7 Em7 F
G Am
Em
I hear an appalling sigh from the streets below
Am
And it's creeping fear congealed in stone
Em
That paves the crazy road.
C Em/B
And all are succumbing and they look so hopelessly
C
At the heartbreak, it's easy to deal with,
E Am
Just take these and you'll really never feel it.
