[F#m] [D] [A] [B]
[F#] [D] [A] [D] [B]
[F#] [D] Oh, slips from her [F#m]
[B] loose grip
[F#] [D] Words were missed [A] and some [D]
[B] apology
[F#] I didn't want [D] to tell you this, [A] no
It's just some guy [Bm] she's been hanging [F#] out with
[D] I don't know, the past couple weeks [G] I [B] [F#] guess
Thank you, I [D] hang up the phone at [A] the funeral store
[C#] Hear the casket close, [F#m] let's pin
Split [D] black ribbon [A] to your [Bm] overcoat
[F#m] The 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] You offer only one reply, [A] you know not what you do
[Bm] You tear, tear your hair from [A] roots
Of that same head you're twice [G] removed
Now lock up hair you said would [A] prove
Our love would never die
Ha ha ha
[Bm] I [F#] remember [D] everything
[A] The words we spoke [B] on freezing south [F#] street
And all those [D] mornings watching you [A] get ready [B] for school
[F#] You combed your [D] hair inside that mirror
[A] The one you painted blue [B] and glued with [F#] jewelry too
Something [D] about those bright colors [A] would always make you feel [B] better
[F#m] But now we [D] speak with ruined [A] tongues
And the words we [Bm] say aren't meant for [F#m] anyone
It's just [D] a mumbled sentence [A] to a passing [Bm] acquaintance
But that [F#m] was once you
You said [D] you hate my suffering
And you [A] 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
But left to hang like yarn and [A] twine
Dangling before my eyes
[Bm] You tear, tear your hair from [A] roots
Of that same head you're 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 pleasure that my sadness [G] brings
And my fingers press onto the [A] strings
Yet another clumsy chord
[Bm] A lie, an awful [A] lie
This way would not be [G] satisfied
I'm gonna give you a hurry, one [A] reply
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 one side
[A] Nothing is clear
Except [F#m] we keep [G] coming back
To [A] this meaning that [D] I lack
You said the choices [F#m] were given
Now [G] you must live them or [A] just know
[B]
[F#] [D] [A] [D] [B]
[F#] [D] Oh, slips from her [F#m]
