It's just the lines run down the walls

I can't believe they never fall, the walls never leave
A (break2)
And the walls begin to scream

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)

(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
