E-|-----------------| Both guitars end intro on F5 (x 8 10 10 x x) VERSE - Only bass plays in the verse, until... I breathe out smoke against the window,
G5 Trace the letters in your name.
F5 Our letters sound the same;
G5 Full of all our changing that isn't
F5 change at all. All straight lines circle sometime.

POST-VERSE (Part 1) - Repeat the intro. VERSE - Once again, only bass plays until... Somewhere sympathy is more than just a way of leaving. Somewhere someone says 'I'm sorry.'
G5 Someone's making plans to stay."
F5 So tell me it's okay.
G5 Tell me anything, or show me
F5 there's a pull,
G5 Unassailable, that will lead you there,
F5 From the dark, alone, to benevolence that you've never known,
C5 B5 Or you knew when you were four and
A5 can't remember.
G5 Where a small knife tears out those sloppy seams,
F5 And the silence knows what you silence means,
C5 B5 And your metaphors, as mixed as

G5 F5 I still hear trains at night, when the wind is right
G5 F5 I remember everything, lick And thread this string that will
G5 never mend you
F5 Or tailor more than a memory of a kitchen floor,
C5 B5 Or the fire-door that we kept
A5 propping open.
G5 And I love this place; the enormous sky,
F5 And the faces, hands that I'm haunted by,
C5 B5 So why can't I forgive these
A5 buildings,
