[F#m] [D] [A] [B]
[F#] [D] [A] [D] [B]
[F#] [D] Oh, slips from a blue [B] script
[F#] [D] Words were missing, [A] some [D]
[C#] apology
[B] [F#] I didn't [D] want to tell you this, [A] no
It's just some [Bm] guy she's been hanging [F#] out with
I don't [D] know, the past [G] couple weeks I [B] guess
[F#] I think you hang [D] up the phone at [A] the funeral store
[C#] Hear the casket close, [F#m] let's pin
[D] Split black ribbon [A] to your [Bm] overcoat
[F#m] But laughter [D] pours from under [A] doors
In this house I [Bm] don't understand that sound no [F#m] more
[D] Seems artificial, [A] like a TV [G] set
[Bm] La la la la la
[A] Persuaded, must be satisfied
[G] Laugh for only one reply
[A] You know not what you do
[Bm] As you tear, tear your hair for [A] months
That same head, you're twice [G] removed
Now lock up hair you said would [A] prove
Our love would never die
Wa ha ha ha
[Bm] [F#] [D]
[A] [B] [F#] [D]
[Am] [B] [F#] [D]
[A] [B] [F#] [D]
[A] [B] [F#m] But now we [D] speak with ruined [A] tongues and the words we [Bm] say aren't meant for [F#m] anyone
Your sister [D] mumbled sentence [A] to a passing [Bm] acquaintance but that [F#m] was once you
You said [D] you hate my suffering [A] and you understood [Bm] and you'd take care of [F#m] me
[D] You'd always be there, [A] where are [G] you now?
[Bm] A lie, a lie, a lie, a [A] lie, the plans were never [G] finalized
We're left to hang like yarn and [A] twine dangling before my eyes
[Bm] As you tear, tear your hair from [A] roots, that same head you got twice [G] removed
Now lock up hair you said would [A] prove our love would never die
[Bm] And I sing and sing of awful [A] things, the pressure that my sadness [G] brings
And my fingers pressed onto the [A] strings, yet another clumsy chord
A [Bm] lie, a lie, an awful [A] lie, this way would not be [G] satisfied
I'm gonna give ya a really one rough [A] ride, I know not who I am
But I [F#m] talk [G] in the mirror [A] to the stranger [D] that appears
Our conversations are [Bm] circles, [G] always wrong sided, [A] nothing is clear
Except [F#m] we keep [G] coming back to [A] this meeting that [D] I lack
He says the choices [F#m] were given, now [G] you must live them or [A] just know them
[B]
