Off And On

Tuning:Standard (Capo 2nd)
Em~~~              Em~~~
      The blood is thick, thicker than my thoughts are quick
Em~~~                                                       Am~~~
Quicker than these thoughts turn sick, sick, sicker than my temperature rising,
                Em~~~
Sicker than the whites of their eyes despising me and all my
B~~~                  Am~~~                     Em~~~
Lovers that I cant disguise and I`ll never know    why
               Em~~~
Ooh the air is clear, clearer than the taste of tears,
Em~~~                                                Am~~~
Clearer than the smell of fear and I`m fearful for a long cold year with you,
                        Em~~~
Don't you know what you do?
                                           B~~~            Am~~~
You give me the horrors and I give you the goo that oozes
             Em~~~
Separate the scabs from the bruises
N.C                Em (slowly bend)
I turn my thoughts off and on, and off and on, and off and on, and off and on,
And off and on, and off and on, and off and on, and off and on!
E5  G5 A5* X4  C5 G5 C5 G5 D5 A5* D5 A5*  E5
(these verses are palm muted and strummed once every beat
           E5
I`m out of breath, offers me a taste of death
                                        A5
Equally a taste of life and I freeze to feel it,
                                        E5
I prayed to my God and I prayed to your Jesus, oh yes
               B5                        A5
I prayed and I pleaded that I`d never go back
               E5
But I`m always goin' back
                    E5
'Cause the touch is sweet, sweeter than he touches me,
Sweeter when that touch repeats, repeats,
          A5                                                 E5
Please believe my heart spills it's guts every time that you leave
Don't you know what you do?
                B5                         A5             E5
You give me the horrors and I give you the goo that oozes
Separate the scabs from the bruises
Em
Off and on, and off and on, and off and on, and off and on,
And off and on, and off and on, and off and on, and off and on!

E5                         G5 A5* |X4  C5 G5 C5 G5 D5 A5* D5 A5*

He's gonna teach me how to live
