The Bay At The Nape Of Your Neck

Lyrics and Chords

Fmin                                                 Eb                        Cmin7             Fmin

Never gave me cause to doubt you, but doubt you I did

Fmin                                                 Eb                        Cmin7             Fmin

All the feelings I had for you, I kept them hid

Fmin                                                 Eb                        Cmin7             Fmin

Everything you’d say, I’d catch and weigh, I could not see..

Fmin                                                 Eb                        Cmin7             Fmin

For a long time life was leaking out of me

Eb  Ab                Eb   C#

But I found happiness

Eb  Ab                Eb   C#            F#            F#sus2                F#

Upon me as I lay in the bay at the nape of your neck

Fmin                                                 Eb                        Cmin7             Fmin

The thought of life without you..I kick out my mind

Fmin                                                 Eb                        Cmin7             Fmin

All the reasons that I gave you to leave me behind

Fmin                                                 Eb                        Cmin7             Fmin

Why you should suffer me, my casual cruelty, I’ll never know

Fmin                                                 Eb                        Cmin7             Fmin

But my abiding angel, I love you so

Eb  Ab                Eb   C#

I found happiness

Eb  Ab                Eb   C#            F#            F#sus2                F#

Upon me as I lay in the bay at the nape of your neck

Lyrics

Never gave me cause to doubt you, but doubt you I did
All the feelings I had for you, I kept them hid
Everything you’d say, I’d catch and weigh, I could not see..
For a long time life was leaking out of me

But I found happiness
Upon me as I lay in the bay at the nape of your neck

The thought of life without you..
I kick out my mind all the reasons that I gave you
To leave me behind
Why you should suffer me, my casual cruelty
I’ll never know
But my abiding angel, I love you so

I found happiness
Upon me as I lay in the bay at the nape of your neck

I made a nest of my fears..
From my fears, now I am free
The dunes of your body
Your pagan grace
You succour me

I found happiness
Found the break of day in the bay at the nape of your neck
