Newborn Chords & Lyrics - Elbow

Capo 1.

I'll be the [D]corpse in your bathtub
[G]Useless
I'll be as [D]deaf as a post
If you hold me [G]like a [A]new[G]born
[A]New[G]born
[A]Haa[G]Ahh (whisper what you feel)
[A]Haaaaaaaaa

[A]/[D]/[A]/[G]

[G]

Same for the next bit...

My badly strung declaration
To You
You'll spend the end of your days
Gently smiling like a newborn
Newborn
HaaAhh
Haaaaaaaaa

x2

Then:

[D]/[G]/[A]/[Em]
[D]/[G]/[A]/[Em]
[D]/[G]/[A]/[D]/[Em]
[D]/[G]/[A]/[Em]

[G]Press your lips
To my eyes
Taste my tears
On your tongue,
Pull the blinds
Play our song
Nothings changed
Nothing could be wrong.

[D]Scream in the [G]night
[A]Kick and strike
[Em]Like a newborn
[Em]Holding me shaking
[Em]Awake in the dark
[D]All of these [G]promises
[A]Kept and unbroken
[Em]Tracing the scars
[Em]Tracing the scars
[D]Even and [G]cold
[A]As we both become [D]older.
[Em]Your arms bound about me
[Em]The hush in your voice.
[D]The warmth of your [G]fingers
[A]Entwined around [Em]mine
[Em]In the eve of our lives
[Em]Never a choice.
