Pain of Salvation - Sisters

      
 
 *play something like (32003X) (XXX010) and resolve on the G to mimic the keyboard's
 descending pattern (or don't, if you prefer not to)
 
 Bb           Gm        Dm         F            
 When all are dizzy and happy from too much wine
   Bb        Gm      Dm  F 
 I leave the party behind
    Bb     Gm          Dm                F            
 To walk alone with my thoughts and this spinning mind
 Bb           Gm         A                   
 Through this cold night but there she stands
 
         Dm         Am 
 And she walks like you
         Dm            Am      
 And she smiles almost like you
 F C G C/G G *
 A child of the wild just like you
 
 Bb    Gm       Dm      F            
 For a second I think I get a glimpse
 Bb     Gm          Dm  F 
 Of the real her, behind
       Bb       Gm           Dm                F          
 She's warm and fragile with smiles that reach to her eyes
     Bb        Gm       A                
 But just this moment a change so sublime
 
 Bb C   Dm               C         
 If she looked me deep into my eyes
     Bb                
 And softly asked me to
 Bb  C  Dm              C          
 I'd be in her bed and in her flesh
     Bb                 
 And waste a life I knew
 
 Bb C Dm                 C            
 So I hold my breath and close my eyes
     Bb               
 And focus on the wine
 Bb  C    Dm                C        
 Let this trembling moment pass us by
 Bb             Dm       
 So I could say goodnight
 
 Bb           Gm        Dm     F               
 But then, on impulse I almost touched her face
   Bb     Gm             Dm  F 
 Before I pulled back my hand
     Bb       Gm       Dm            F              
 And we get nervous we laugh and she spills her wine
 Bb      Gm           Dm            F   
 Both so awkward, for what's on our mind
 
         Dm         Am 
 And she talks like you
         Dm            Am      
 And she smells almost like you
 F C G C/G G *
 A child of the wild just like you
           Dm      Am 
 But she's not all you
      Dm             Am    
 Even strives not to be you
 F C G C/G G *
 Just like every sister would do
 
        Gm            Dm  
 And perhaps it's the wine
         Gm            Dm  
 Or that you're in her eyes
 F C G C/G G *
 But I want her this one single time
 Just this one time
 
 Bb C   Dm               C         
 If she looked me deep into my eyes
     Bb                 
 And softly asked me too
 Bb  C  Dm              C          
 I'd be in her bed and in her flesh
     Bb                 
 And waste a life I knew
 
 Bb C Dm                 C            
 So I hold my breath and close my eyes
     Bb               
 And focus on the wine
 Bb  C    Dm               C         
 Let this trembling moment pass us by
    Bb                   
 So I could say goodnight
 
     Bb C   Dm               C  
 And if I'd looked into her eyes
     Bb                  
 And softly asked her too
 Bb  C     Dm               C             
 She would give herself and give her flesh
     Bb                   
 And waste a life she knew
 
 Bb C  Dm                   C             
 So we hold our breath, and close our eyes
     Bb                
 And take a sip of wine
 Bb  C    Dm            C               
 But this thirst has emptied every glass
     Bb                     
 And we should say goodnight
 
 ...God, help me say goodnight
