Reaching Out, lashing at

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

         G   *4

A                             
And my toes against the wall, I 
         D
stare ahead
                               G   
The door inside the wall, your face
                   A
 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                      
Your face appears, I keep 
       G
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
