Leeds by Emily Saliers

Capital letters are chords, & lowercase letters are notes.

Here are the chords I used, in case you never learned how to play chords on
piano:
G--g b d
D--d f# a
F/C--c f a
C--c e g
F--f a c
Dm--d f a
G/D--d g b
X--b e a  (I have no clue what the name of this is, so I called it X.)
Y--e g b (same thing)
Cm--c e flat g
Em/B--b e g

I play all chords as the high versions (above or directly below Middle C),
except where there's a * next to the chord/note, meaning I play the lower
version, & except & Y, which I always play low.

G          G      D        D      F       F        C
     The absent sound of another day as it recedes
      C               Dm  C
     into the shadows
G/D              Dm     C G
     until it's nothing

     Fax papers slipped under the hotel room door
G          G               D      D       Dm        Dm       Dm Dm C

     Well fed and halfway drunk, I ache myself for more
C              Dm  C         G    C               C  C
     until I'm shadows of myself until I'm nothing
C        C          Cm       Cm       X         X
     Sixteen black churches burning on the TV

     all the way from Texas to Tennessee

     a politician locks my eye and says to me

    there is no crisis here there's no conspiracy
G       G      D      D          F/C   F/C     F/C  D  C
    I crave inertia, every move made so I can stop
G       G          D          D Dm           Dm    Dm   Dm Dm C
    Whatever this madness is in me spinning like a top
G         G        D     D      F       F
    on a bed of anxiety over a deep dark drop
C     C        Dm          C  G
    down into nothingness
              C          C  G
    into withoutyouness
C           C    Cm    Cm     X          X
    Was it ever so the evil creep like ivy,
C        C           Cm       Cm      X           X
    toe hold on the stronger half of nature's dichotomy
C            C      Cm    Cm            Em/B      Em/B   Em/B
    Beating back a path through nothing more than pure insistence
C      C   Cm     Cm  C       C
    Until here becomes the distance

G             G       G     Y           Y  F  F  d g flat   c e
     Hold my head love I'm sick tonight
G              G    D         D           Dm   Dm                  Dm   Dm Dm C
     find the open hole and press your finger there with all your might
G       G        D        D       F    F
     before the last ounce of my spirit bleeds
C                  Cm                Em/B
     onto the pristine sheets of the hotel bed in Leeds


That's it!  It took longer than I thought to type it all out.  If it looks
messed up on your screen, e-mail me, & I can try to send it as an attached
Word file or something.  I hope this helped someone...
