Key:
E C#m C#m7 E [Verse 1]
E C#m C#m7 Headstones and landmines
E C#m C#m7 Flowers and red wines
A They buy you nice things
A And they sing pretty songs
E But it doesn't help [Verse 2]
E C#m C#m7 Oak trees and dirt piles
E C#m C#m7 Funerals and mistrials
A They say pretty words
A And they hug from six feet
E But it doesn't help
G#m A E And nothing works but time

G#m A Bbdim And it all hurts but it's fine [Chorus]
A G#m C#m E G#m Mmm mmm mmm mhmm hmm
A G#m C#m E G#m Mmm mmm mmm mhmm hmm
A G#m C#m E G#m E Mmm mmm mmm mmm hmm [Interlude] E C#m C#m7 (x2) [Verse 3]
E C#m C#m7 Chaos and carpet
E C#m C#m7 A study in scarlet
A The room doesn't talk
A E And the furniture nods as I pass [Verse 4]
E C#m C#m7 Heights marked in pencil
E C#m C#m7 Kitchen utensils
A The books don't say sorry
C#m7 They don't crowd and touch
C#m E Bbdim They're just observers collecting their dust
C#m E A They know that nothing they say is enough
Bbdim So they don't say a thing [Chorus]
A G#m C#m E G#m Mmm mmm mmm mhmm hmm
A G#m C#m E G#m Mmm mmm mmm mhmm hmm
A G#m C#m E G#m E Mmm mmm mmm mmm hmm
