the top of your spine where your hair hits,
C#m7/E E B11/E
and gnaw on your fingertips and fall asleep,
C#m7/E E B11/E
I'll talk you to sleep.

Your hand,
E B11/E (strum once, let ring!)
so hot,
burns a hole in my
C#m7/E | E | B11/E (strum once, let ring!)
hand.
I wanted to show you.
**WHEW! That was my first tab ever! I admit my guitar instructor helped me a bit…
but hey! That means its right :P It sounds pretty damn good when played against
the real song…yay! The transitions between chords aren't perfect, so listen to
the song to get them exactly…my ear is still in training :) Thanx, please feel

concerns! ~Jess**
