WALL SWEATS
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
INTRO: Em - Am(add9)
Em
I. my skin is sticky.
even the wall sweats.
Am(add9)(no3rd)
yet I'm happy to be here,
the happiest yet.
Am Em
once I was on Venus.
Am C(add9)
it was so hard to breathe.
F Em
so close was the sun
D7 G
that my blood seethed.
Em
II. then there was Jupiter:
I weighed so much,
Am(add9)(no3rd)
I couldn't stand up
or raise my hand to sup.
Am Em
the far side of the moon
Am C(add9)
was a frozen night,
F Em
colder than the hearts
D7 G
of the extreme right.
INSTRUMENTAL: Em - Am(add9)
Em
ENDING: once I was without you,
the loneliest place by far.
Am(add9)(no3rd)
'tis a cruel planet
when I can't be where you are.
