B                    E
I pull away from the city's jaws,
B                      E
before they tear me to pieces,
B                 E        B E
and go on home to fall apart tonight.
             B   E
Oh where you are tonight,
         B    E
Oh is it far, tonight?

B                         E
I wind through alleys and empty lots,
B                         E
my endless arms are still reaching.
B                           E                   B E
But it's your heart, you do with it what you want tonight.

B                          E
Now we're just feeding the cold
B                           E
Now we're just starving the fever
B                      E
Now my words just grow old
B                      E
Baby where've you been sleeping?
                       B          E B E
Baby where've you been sleeping?

B                       E
Your blankets look like ghosts out in the yard
B                     E
where the willows are weeping.
B                                     E
The creases on your face from last night look like scars.
B                    E
I feel everything in secret.
B                    E      B E
Where've you been sleeping?
