The Recluse Lyrics
by Cursive
This Version is derived from here http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=wpE-P0T8Sjk
now all you need is someone who can play the cello.....
Anything in parenthesis is optional or implied by the lyric,
absolutely feel free to play what feels good.
chords: and as a possible
substitute for Dmin7no5
Ebmaj7 Dmin Dmin7no5 Gmin Fmaj (D7no5)
Bass notes on the E string are optional if you wish to add them,
I didn't because the song simply feels too sedate for that nonsense.
For the simple people.....
Capo: 3rd fret
Ebmaj7 Dmin Dmin7no5 Gmin Fmaj (D7no5)
Intro:
(in)
I wake alone
() (in)
in a woman's room I hardly know.
in
I wake alone
in
and pretend that I am finally home.
in
The room is littered
in
with her books and notebooks
in
I imagine what they say, like,
in
"Shoo fly don't bother me."
in
I can hardly get myself out of the bed
in in
for fear of never lying in this bed again.
in
Oh Christ, I'm
not
Dmin7no5
that
in
desperate.
Oh no,
Dmin7no5
oh God.
in
I am.
() (in) ()
How'd I end up here to begin with?
(in)
I don't know.
() (in) ()
Why do I start what I can't finish?
(in)
Oh please don't barrage me
in
with the questions
in
to all those ugly answers.
in
My ego's like my stomach,
in
it keeps shitting what I feed it.
in in
But maybe I don't want to finish anything anymore.
in
Maybe I can wait in bed 'til she comes home
in
and whispers,
in
"You're in my web now,
in
I've come to wrap you up tight
'til it's time to bite down."
()(in)
I wake alone
() (in)
in a woman's room I hardly know.
()(in)
I wake alone
() (in)
and pretend that I am finally home.
Continue with "home"
end on the note G
(E string 3rd fret, 0 on e string for the capo)
