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
