G Am Em
C
G               Am         Em
through the hem of evening
G               Am         Em
into the flesh of the night
G               Am         Em
you step out to receive them
              C
in the bruising light
G               Am         Em
you leave your bed of novels
G               Am         Em
you leave your hovering crown
G               Am         Em
you leave your wit and your mettle
          C
and you come down
D
        C         Em     D
but it's only a minute then
        C         Em     D
til the hole in the canvas spreads
        C         Em                   G Am Em
and it grows til there's nothing left
G Am Em
C
G               Am         Em
so if you even remember
G               Am         Em
me after all that will come
G               Am         Em
think of all i intended
          C
not what i've done
G               Am         Em
see me like an arrow
G               Am         Em
still upon the bow
G               Am         Em
set to the heart of the target
                C
hanging bright above
D
        C         Em     D
but it's only a minute then
        C         Em     D
til the shot is released and sent
        C         Em            G Am Em
and lost to the shifting wind
G Am D
(key change!)
D               G              Bm              A
oh they don't know you, not like i do, not like us, harriet
D               G              Bm              A
but they would love you, just like i do, if they could, harriet
D               G              Bm              A
cause what you are, and what you want, are so far apart, and they're travelling on
D               G              Bm              A
oh what you are is staggering drunk, but i'll pick you up and i'll carry you off
(key change!)
E               A              C#m              B
oh they don't know you, not like i know you, not like us, harriet
E               A              C#m              B
but they would love you, just like i love you, if they could, harriet
E A C#m B
