The Living Room

Gm      Bb      F           Eb
Forty-seven strings are pulled
    Eb       Gm     F    Cm
By this angelic beaten girl
Bb       F             Gm     Cm
And it breaks our hearts to hear
Eb      Gm     F             Cm
The music that comes out of her.
Eb         Gm         F      Cm
Shoulders hang on folded chairs
Eb         Gm      F       Gm
This will be our church tonight
Bb        F         Gm     Cm
We have dug our foxholes here
Eb   Gm        F    Cm
Not an atheist in sight.

Cm        Eb      Cm     Eb
Laughing shaking taking oaths
Gm        Bb           F      Cm
Breaking sacramental cups
    Gm        Bb       F    Cm
We pour the magic in our coats
Eb       Gm      F          Cm
Thinking it can leave with us.

[Chorus]
Eb                  Gm    F
But it’s a long way out
Eb           Bb           F
20 steps but it’s so harming
Eb                   Gm    F
When they talk out loud
Eb                  Bb         F
banter breaks your fingers on me

[Verse 2]
Gm      Bb      F          Cm
I’ve been breathing evil air
Eb       Gm     F       Cm
Sharing needles with the sky
Bb          F      Gm     Cm
Looking up remembering
 Eb         Gm     F          C
Regina said they're just old light.

Gm         F     Cm   Eb
But you somehow understood
   Eb   Gm  F    Cm
My oversaturated skin
Bb         F      Gm     Cm
You raised your hand up to my neck
     Eb        Gm     F    Cm
And played me like a theremin

Cm     Eb       Cm     Eb
I see London I see France
Gm           Bb           F      Cm
And all the things that we won’t do
    Gm    Bb       F         Cm
And if I never leave this chair
 Eb      Gm     F          Cm
Maybe I can go with you.

[Chorus]
Eb                     Gm    F
But it’s the long way out
Eb            Bb           F
20 steps but it’s so harming
Eb                   Gm    F
When they talk out loud
Eb                   Bb        F
banter breaks your fingers on me
Eb               Gm    F
It’s a long way out
Eb                Bb           F
Past the bar and past the awning
Eb              Gm    F
Past the easy crowd
Eb             Bb           F
Back into the end

[Verse 3]
Gm      Bb      F     Cm
I am finding solace here
Eb       Gm     F    Cm
In this unexpected place
Bb        F      Gm     Cm
Like a startled dying man
Eb         Gm     F          Cm
Kneels in prayer just in case
Gm    Bb        F              Cm
And while the night sky sadly lit
    Eb     Gm        F            Cm
All that we were sleeping through
Bb      F          Gm     Cm
Death took my friend Benjamin
Eb     Gm        F            Cm
But he left his keys with you

Gm      Bb      F         Cm
So I’ll kiss the air instead
Eb      Gm     F         Cm
As not to disturb your sleep
Bb           F      Gm     Cm
And if you never wake my love
 Eb   Gm       F         Cm
Maybe you can come with me

[Chorus]
Eb                     Gm    F
But it’s the wrong way out
Eb             Bb           F
20 steps but it’s so harming
Eb                 Gm    F
When they talk out loud
Eb                 Bb           F
banter breaks your fingers on me
Eb                 Gm    F
It’s the wrong way out
Eb                Bb           F
Past the bar and past the awning
Eb              Gm    F
Past the easy crowd
Eb             Bb           F
Back into the end of harmony
Eb             Bb           F
Back into the end of harmony
Eb             Bb           F
Back into the end of harmony
Eb            Bb    F   Cm Bb Cm
Back into the eeeeeeeeeeeend
