[Cm] [G] [C] [G]
[C] This mouth of yours we pass it by, and when it's up with the job, she shrugs and whispers
gay so right, and sends it over to the key.
Her face is etched with memories, she finds no joy amid the slumber, it's hard when you've
been bared to feed, so she sends it [G] to [Cm] the key.
[C]
[F] Days like one she wears her head, the beauty [Bb] of an [F] empty bed, she dreams of [Bb] happy [F] days
instead of good days.
[C] This mouth of yours, [Fm] [C]
she swaps the dreams of shining eyes for bushy smiles and money
ties, for nameless faces in the streets.
Her face is etched with memories, she finds no joy amid the slumber, it's hard when you've
been bared to feed, so she sends it to the key.
[F] Days like one [Bbm] she wears [F] her head, the beauty [Bb] of an [F] empty bed, she dreams of [Bb] happy days
[F] instead of good days.
[C] Empty mouth.
[Am] [F] [C]
This mouth of yours, it's not the same, it's made of clay like gold, it's made of metal
and she turns it to the key.
She [F] takes a blade and breaks it, so it lashes with frown, because [C] the white glassy [F] knife
may go deep, [C] and she turns it [F] to [Cm] the [Bb] key.
[C] [F] Sunlight keeps across her head, red beauty [Bbm] in a [F] crimson bed, no dreams of [Bb] happy days
[F] and then she's left no more.
[C] Empty mouth.
