She Stayed As Steam Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

all that Fmusic in your Cmouth

rivers Grushing at your Amteeth

cresting A♯waves through wading Fvalleys

flooded A♯language tribuFtaries

connect and A♯cover Fover C/Gme

tensing Fjaw & cork screw Ceyelids

as if you Gcouldn't bare to Amsee

all that A♯water pouring Ffrom you

collecting A♯clouds inside the Fballroom

over A♯people Fwho don't C/Gknow you A♯

but darling i do

(Return to palm-muted power chords)

you trance yourFself back towards the Ccity

blood not Gmoving to your Amfeet

your foot falls A♯tentative and Fmuffled

autoA♯matic listless Fshuffle

your sidewalk A♯scatter Fbrain, cry C/Guncle

you paint yourFself back in your Ccorner

and look for Gher on your tAm.v.

it's friday A♯night and i am Fhungry

for a A♯hand, a mouth, a Fbody

a love i A♯wouldn't Fhave to C/Gcarry A♯

(For the next section, either play the riff or the chords below)

a stitch in my F/A♯mouth

and i'm untying Dmnow

a concrete F/A♯canal

in a bomb border Dmtown G A

(return to palm muted power chords again)

an A♯echo in the Amrafters

but you killed her in waves

she stayed a Csteam to hiss at you Fnow C

he killed her in A♯wavesF

but that's not Amtoday Dm

(back to palm muting again)

so you breathe through your Dmmouth

try to calm yourself A♯down

and keep what you Ffound

and shout it out Aloud

(And stop palm muting again)

she can hover and Dmhurt

or dissolve to A♯dirt

some prayer in you FmoutAh

and she might stay a Gsteam

so get to the Cbeams

let you figure her Fout A

G Dm A♯ F A♯ F A♯ C/G C7 F
