My Own Sunrise

D                          G        C      G
When we met it was in the hot green jungle
D                                G        C      G
Your perfect flesh impervious to anything fungal
D               Em
You would sweat coconut milk
    C              G             D                     Em
And I'd lie awake, restless with the heat there in the night

[Chorus]
C          G
Dawn would come
D                    Em
And I would start to feel my own sunrise
    Dsus2      G    C        G    C   Em
but you'd just lie, sleeping


[Verse 2]
D                                G       C   G    C   Em
And so we went away in search of gentler breezes
D                                   G              C   G   C   Em
When we arrived I longed to lie and rustle in your grasses
D                 Em
But you would not permit me to retire there
C                    G             D              Em
None but a fly might settle on the meadow of your leg

[Chorus]
C          G
Dawn would come
D                    Em
And I would start to feel my own sunrise
    Dsus2      G    C        G    C   Em
but you'd just lie, sleeping

[Verse 3]
D                                  G             C  G    C    Em
Then we moved until we reached the tundra in the winter
D                                     G            C    G    C  Em
Of course I longed to kiss her frosty teeth in the cold air
D                  Em
But now I've grown bloated on seal fat
C                    G             D             Em
Not even flies might settle on the meadow of her leg

[Chorus]
C          G
Dawn would come
D                    Em
And I would start to feel my own sunrise
    Dsus2      G    C   G     C   Em   D
but you'd just lie, sleeping
    Dsus2      G    C
but you'd just lie, sleeping
