Leeds Chords & Lyrics by Indigo Girls
Leeds
guitar chords lyrics
Intro:
G D F G C
G D F
G D F G C
It's dark at four PM in Leeds
G D F
the steeples pierce the skylight till the last of it bleeds
G D F Gm Cm F C Cm
The absent sound of another day as it recedes into the shadows until it's nothing
G D F G C
Fax papers slipped under the hotel room door
G D F
like food for the prisoner or the prospect to the whore
G D F Gm Cm F C Cm
Well fed and halfway drunk I ache myself for more until I'm shadows of myself until I'm nothing
C A7 G Cm
Sixteen black churches burning on the TV
C A7 G Cm
all the way from Texas to Tennessee
C A7 G Cm Gm Cm F C Cm
a politician locks my eye and says to me there is no crisis here there's no conspiracy
G D F G C
I crave inertia every move made so I can stop
G D F
Whatever this madness is in me spinning like a top
G D F Gm Cm F C Cm
on a bed of anxiety over a deep dark drop down into nothingness into without-youness
C A7 G Cm
Was it ever so evil creep like ivy,
C A7 G Cm
toe hold on the stronger half of nature's dichotomy
C A7 G Cm
Beating back a path through nothing more than pure insistence
Gm Cm F C Cm
Until here becomes the distance
Interlude:
G D F G C
G D F Gm Cm F C Cm
G D F G C
Hold my head love I'm sick tonight
G D F
find the open hole and press your finger there will all your might
G D F
before the last ounce of my spirit bleeds
Gm Cm F C Cm G
onto the pristine sheets of the hotel bed in Leeds
