Talking Heads - Turn To Salt

      G
sun at its meridian
Bb
when the walls start caving in
   C                   Eb
i do this every day

G
i can smell the smoke and ash
Bb
i can hear the columns crash
      C                       Eb
but i can’t look away


PRE-CHORUS
Bb                                  C              Bb            C     Eb
ask me what it looked like, say you want to know what it looked like

CHORUS
G
i turn to salt, i can’t not turn
            Am                   F
my eyes to see, our city burn
G
i fall on my, own bayonette
     Am                                             F
ill pull out all my stitches without a cone around my neck
       Bb     B   Am C         G
It’s my fault, watch me turn to salt


VERSE 2
was it out of mourning?
or did i miss the warnings?
either could be true

call it curiosity
i think it's humanity
and i can’t find it in you


PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

BRIDGE
Em
leave me here in my dumb reminiscence
G
you and your sons are safe in the distance
Em                                                      G
i hope the halo on your head weighs a ton
Em                                              G
so run away, cut the cord, keep ignoring the ignored
           C                              Cm
turn away from me with perfect symmetry and run


CHORUS 2x


enjoy :)
