Belle and Sebastian - Talk to Me, Talk to Me: chords

Am                     Em
I'm looking through a portal
Am                   Em
It's got eyes and a mastery of gravity
Am               G
I'm lucky to be here now
       C
I was lonely
D            E
Talk to me, talk to me

Am                  Em
I've got a new perspective
Am               Em
The glass in my hand it ain't exactly full
Am               G
The place at my table
      C
Is an empty stool
 D           F       E
Talk to me, talk to me-e-e

Chorus:
B             Em                       B
Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
                  Em             C
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
G                B                 Em
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
  C                      G
Scared of getting hurt again
                                D
But now I realise it's all for nothing -
all for nothing!

I'm like the bugs that sleep for years
Conditions are ripe, they fly into the sun
The spectacle gets to you, life is always new
Talk to me, talk to me

From my waking sleep, I fear
You're planning to prise yourself away from me
You're planning to exit from my misery
I can take a lot, but
I'm not prepared to face the alone

Chorus

All I want is your hand on mine
Slow rubbing, ecstasy of company
I'm facing the lonely night with my fading sight
Talk to me, talk to me

Many times I faced the wall
I called for the peace and now I've got it all
Peace grows into anguish when your heart leaks
Talk to me, talk to me

Chorus - x2

Delusions are all my present currency
They're causing the poison in my veins and voices
Hearing voices telling me to beat the clock
Doctor, please release me now
I can't afford to waste another second
I can't waste it

Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
