Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Babe, You Turn Me On: chords

G
Stay by me
G
Stay by me
Em
You are the one
D         G
My only true

G
The butcherbird makes its noise
And it asks you to agree
Em
With its brutal nesting habits
         D
And its pointless savagery

Now the nightingale sings to you
And raises up the ante
I put one hand on your round, ripe heart
And the other down your panties

Chorus:
G
Everything is falling dear, everything is wrong
Em
It's just history repeating itself
D                     G
And babe you turn me on
G
Like a light bulb, babe
        Em D
Like a song

You race naked through the wilderness
And you torment the birds and the bees
You leapt into the abyss, but find
It only goes up to your knees

I move stealthily from tree to tree
I shadow you for hours
I make like I'm a little deer
Grazing on the flowers

Chorus:
Everything is collapsing, dear
All moral sense has gone
It's just history repeating itself
And babe, you turn me on
Like an idea, babe
Like an atom bomb

We stand awed inside a clearing
We do not make a sound
The crimson snow falls all about
Carpeting the ground

Chorus:
Everything is falling, dear
All rhyme and reason gone
It's just history repeating itself
And, babe, you turn me on
