        D                                    G
It's a terrible love, and I'm walking with spiders
        D                            G
It's a terrible love and I'm walking in
        D                                    G
It's a terrible love, and I'm walking with spiders
        D                            G
It's a terrible love and I'm walking in

Chorus:
                 D G                 D G
It's quiet company, it's quiet company

It's a terrible love
And I'm walking with spiders
It's a terrible love and I'm walking in
It's a terrible love
And I'm walking with spiders
It's a terrible love and I'm walking in

Chorus

   Bm               G
And I can't fall asleep
           D      A
Without a little help
                           Bm
It takes awhile to settle down
             G                   D       A
My shivered bones, wait til the panic's out

D                      G
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break

Chorus:
Company
It's quite a company
It's quiet company

And I won't follow you
Into the rabbit hole
I said I would, but then I saw your shivered bones
They didn't want me to

        Bm                                  G
It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders
        D                            A
It's a terrible love and I'm walking in
        Bm                                  G
It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders
        D                            A
It's a terrible love and I'm walking in

It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
It takes an ocean not to break
