NOTES
I have worked this out on a capoed guitar, but it sounds like he plays it on a bass. Maybe
you could use an octaver pedal to lower it an octave.

with fig.1. x4
I see cherubs swarm around the bed.
And swooping down to kiss your head.

fig.2. x4

with fig.1. x8
Only when you're wrecked do you agree
With all my plans for you and me.
The walls breath. We're locked in tight.
It's a lovely end to an ugly night.

I think I could burst - But I'm sure it'll keep.
The strobe in my head keeps me from sleep.
