transcribed by  Andrew

Kristin Hersh played this on her solo tour of New Zealand this was the song she
ended her performance with - utterly amazing!


              D (picked)
It's just the lack of time I keep
         G (picked)         A        (break1)
Reaching Out, lashing at

Break1:  D  *4
         A

      D part                A part

A
It's just the lines run down the walls
          D                                      G         A
I can't believe they never fall, the walls never leave
A                      (break2)
And the walls begin to scream


Break2:  D   *4
         G   *4
         A

A                                      D
And my toes against the wall, I stare ahead
                               G                      A
The door inside the wall, your face inside the door
                     D
You crawl across the room
                            G
The picture never moves, my boots are very still
                A F7:F7
 ?You slide to my feet
                     (break2)
You slide across the floor

(D part *4)                   (G part *4)
I throw your head across the ice
(D part *4)                 (G part *4)
I throw my head through the window, crash
            (A part)
Like ???


A
It's four o'clock, I'm waiting
            D                             G
Your face appears, I keep forgetting your name
                  A
While I'm writing this, you
                      (break1)         G     A
You crash through the wall


(break3 - repeated for the remainder of the song)

Break3:  D   *4
         G   *4

       D part              G part
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

(D part *4)      (G part *4)
You fall off the floor
(D part *4)                  (G part *4)
I slide your head across the ice
(D part *4)                 (G part *4)
I throw my head through the window, crash
(D part *4)                              (G part *4)
Like gods a room full of delicate cutters
            (D part *4)                  (G part *4)
All sitting down the room, as many doors
(D part *4)                    (G part *4)
All but one of them are closed
(D part *4)                  (G part *4)
She goes around, opening the doors
                 (D part *4)                        (G part *4)
This has another ending, full of innocent children
                       (D part *4)       (G part *4)
One of them are closed
         (D part *4)              (G part *4)
She goes around, this has another ending
(D part *4)                       (G part *4) F7tF7
 ?Remember full of delicate cutters
(D part *4) (G end)
Opening the doors
