The Shake

Chords

Standard

B              G            B             
The scratching of paper and pen 
           B             G           B 
reminds me of a song I wrote two years back.
B               G          B 
I remember each and every line
       B                  G            B
like a photo glued to the lids of my eyes.

B            G            B           
The shiver of my wheezing chest
           B            G               B
reminds me of the way I felt two years back.
B            G              B
And as we lose all track of time
           B               G                 B
I feel her breathe like ice on the tip of my spine.

B              G           B
I wait for the bed to get warm
         B                G            B
as my eyes adjust to the darkest light form.
B            G          B
And as I start to drift away 
           B                  G              B
you're the shake that pulls me back to this state.
