           Bm
From the beginning
           G
Small lifeforms
         Bm
They can kill without warning
                 G
So you don't explode
          Bm                      G
Stop you growing limbs and thinking
          Bm                         G
That you love them now you're blinking
       Bm              G Bm G
And reminding her of him

   Bm                   G
Oh you steal his features
         Bm                  G
And your mother is a bleacher
          Bm                   G
She don't even feel the heat no
          Bm
She don't even want to speak to you

Chorus:
     G   A                            D      Bm A
But you, you'll always find another place to go
    G    A                          D       Bm  A
Oh you, you'll always find another womb to grow
     G D Em
To grow
     G D Em G
To grow

Well you can try to sink down deeply
Find the children lost at sea
Find the children who discretely
Were killed in infancy
To stop them holding you and screaming
That you lose your wildest dreaming
Still reminding you of him
How he left without reasons

Chorus

          G
You can try to forget me but
                     D A
I won't let you easily
          G
You can try to forget me but
                     D A
I won't let you easily
      G
I'm floating out in the water,
               D  A
washed out to sea
  G
Drifting away with time you'll
               D
regret you conceived it
      A       Bm               G
Clean up the dead you leave behind
                 D A Bm
Just like insects
      G
Clean up the dead you leave behind
