Verse 1:
Dm Eb Bb
There's a hunger in the air, a lemon swollen in the trees

But shadows fall across the moon, I strain my ears towards the breeze
Dm Eb Bb
I wasted summer listening, secluded as a cemetery
Dm Eb Gm Cm Cb
Withered limbs under the sand, for an hourglass eternity

You are an albatross around my neck
Bb Gm
When you needed to knock me on the head and say

No no no no
Verse 2: (I honestly don't know if these lyrics are correct or not... sorry!)

Jackal legs and tangled dogs

Are clutching darkest forestry
Dm Eb Cm Ebm
A woman dangles from a bridge on a thread of silver mercury

Bb Gm
You are an albatross around my neck

When you needed to knock me on the head and say

No no no no
