Reaching For The Rail Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Am Em Am Em

C Em/B C E

AmI'm ill with a fever, I Emfeel like a child

AmI lay in the dark 'til morning Emcame.

 It's Cso unoriginal

 And I Em/Bfeel it worse at night

 I Cknow it's not terminal

 But EI'm near half-dead fright

 And freezing Amcold.

AmBut sooner than woke up

 To Emfind it all unchanged

AmI'll sleep through the day til the daylight Emends.

 Cos it's Call so familiar

 As it Em/Bcomes around again

 The Csame taste to everything

 The Esame unbroken chain

 That stilAml remains.

F G Em/G Em

F G Em

FWith morning I Grise,

FA dream that won't Emleave me,

 You're Fsad, naked and Gpale

 And you're Amreaching for the rail

 You took a look inside, how could you peel Emaway

 Or Ambreak the shell, the hurt you've hidden so Emwell

For all your days.

 And you're Cgoing down

 As you Em/Bslip beneath the waves,

 Won't Cmake a sound

 Won't Eeven leave a trace befAmore you.

D/A C/G A♯/F Am/E

Dm7 Em7 F

G Am

 I hear an appalling sigh from the Emstreets below

 And it's Amcreeping fear congealed in stone

 That Empaves the crazy road.

 And Call are succumbing and they Em/Blook so hopelessly

 At the Cheartbreak, it's easy to deal with,

EJust take these and you'll really never Amfeel it.
