to be a king alone
     Db
Like Solomon or Rehoboam
    Ebm
And in the eaves the corvidae
    Db
did jealous keep my picture frames
    Abm            Gb         Db
and everything did oxidate in place

Verse 2: -with different ending-
    B
But then you came, a single cell
     Db
with astrolabe and carousel
    Ebm
and algebra and symmetry
    Db
and none of this was lost on me
    Bb Bb     B      Bb     Bb   B      B
and I could see how still I'd been before
   Bb Bb     B   Bb Bb     B        B
If I don't eat, I don't sleep at all

Bridge 1:
                 Bb
Like limbs in procession,
             Ebm
like so many birds,
                Bb
stampeding like oxen,
                 Ebm
our hearts are a herd.

Chorus 1:
                   Db
I loved you in the bed,
                   Ebm                Db
I loved you in the best way possible,
                   Ebm
I loved you in the bed.

Bridge 2:
B                        Bb
Did you see the light in my heart?

Did you see the sweat on my brow?

Did you see the fear in my heart?

Did you see me bleeding it out?

Chorus 2:
                   Db
I loved you in the bed,
                   Ebm                Db
I loved you in the best way possible,
                   Ebm                Bb
I loved you in the best way possible,
                   Ebm                Db
I loved you in the best way possible,
                   Ebm                Bb
I loved you in the best way possible,
                            B
I loved you in the bed.
