Lift The Curse

C   Bm   C   G


[Chorus]
C
Everyone who's drinking is already drunk or sleeping
Bm
Everyone who isn't is just too political to talk to
C
Another summer evening the city's barely breathing
G                            Bm
Just ain't the same just ain’t the same
C                                                       Bm
Without you, without you, without you, without you
C
Without you, without you,
G                            Bm
Just ain't the same just ain’t the same


[Verse]
                       C
There ain't no magic in materials magic's in our words
               Bm
Then we whisper in each others ears to make diamonds out of dirt
                        C
There ain't no glory in the silken things glory's in the hurt
               G                                                               Bm
And can split your skin from end to end down the center of the earth


[Chorus]
C
I said Everyone who's drinking is already drunk or sleeping
Bm
Everyone who isn't is just too political to talk to
C
Another summer evening the city's barely breathing
G                           Bm
Just ain't the same just ain’t the same


[Verse]
             C
I wasn't joking 'bout my burial backyard's what I prefer
              Bm
But my landlord wouldn't like that I gotta own a backyard first
                C
So I keep singin y'all these spirituals pray it lifts the curse
G
Keeps me chasing ghosts of dreams from funeral to birth
     C                                Bm
In reverse, in reverse, in reverse, in reverse
    C
In reverse, in reverse
G                                                                 Bm
Keeps me chasing ghosts of dreams from funeral to birth


[Chorus]
C
Everyone who's drinking is already drunk or sleeping
Bm
Everyone who isn't is just too political to talk to
 C
Another summer evening the city's barely breathing
 G                          Bm
Just ain't the same just ain’t the same
C                                                      Bm
Without you, without you, without you, without you
C
Without you, without you

G                             Bm
Just ain’t the same just ain’t the same
C                              Bm
Without you
