[Pre-Chorus]
 
      G   C/G      D/F#         G
We'll lay here for years or for hours
Cadd9             G       Cadd9            G
Thrown here or found, to freeze or to thaw
      G   C/G      D/F#         G
So long, we'd become the flowers
Cadd9             G       Cadd9            G
Two corpses we were, two corpses I saw
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  G                    G
And they'd find us in a week
 G        C       G
When the weather gets hot
      G   C/G      D/F#         G
After the insects have made their claim
       C      G               C        G
I'll be home with you, I'll be home with you

              I have never known colours like       this morning reveals to me

          And you haven't moved an inch such that I would not know

              If you sleep always like this, flesh calmly going cold

[Pre-Chorus]
 
      G   C/G      D/F#         G
We'll lay here for years or for hours
Cadd9             G       Cadd9            G
Your hand in my hand, so still and discreet
      G   C/G      D/F#         G
So long, we'd become the flowers
Cadd9             G       Cadd9            G
We'd feed well the land and worry the sheep
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    G                  G
And they'd find us in a week
G         C            G
When the cattle'd show fear
      G   C/G     D/F#         G
After the insects have made their claim
      G   C/G      D/F#         G
After the foxes have known our taste
       C         G           C       G
I'll be home with you, I'll be home with you
 
 
[Bridge]
 
    G                  G
And they'd find us in a week
G         C           G
When the weather gets hot
  G                     G
And they'd find us in a week
  G        C           G
When the cattle'd show fear
 
 
[Outro]
 
  G
And they'd find us in a week
   [N.C]
When the buzzards get loud
   [N.C]
After the insects have made their claim
   [N.C.]
After the foxes have known our taste
     G   C/G      D/F#         G
After the raven has had his say
        C        G           C        G
I'll be home with you, I'll be home with you
        C        G           C        G
I'll be home with you, I'll be home with you
        C        G           C        G
I'll be home with you, I'll be home with you
