F

Switch between Cmaj9 and C by hammering the 2nd fret on the 4th string

Verse 1

CHeadlights Emrace towards the Fcorner of the dining room

CHalf ilEmluminate a Fface before they disappear

CYou breathe in Emforty years of Ffailing to describe a feeling

CI breathe out Emsmoke against the Fwindow, trace the letters in your Gname

GOur letters sound the Fsame full of all our changing

GThat isn't change at Fall, all straight lines circle C7M9sometime

Verse 2

CYou said Emsomewhere there's a Fbox full of replacement parts to

CAll the Emtenderness we've Fbroken or let rust away

CSomewhere Emsympathy is Fmore than just a way of leaving

CSomewhere Emsomeone says I'm Fsorry, someone's making plans to Gstay

GSo tell me it's oFkay, tell me anything or

GShow me there's a Fpull unassailable

Chorus

That will Clead you there from the dark alone

To beFnevolence that you've never known

Or you Amknew when you were Emfour and can't reFmember

Where a Csmall knife tears out those sloppy seams

And the Fsilence knows what you silence means

And your Ammetaphors as Emmixed as you can Fmake them, are linked like days toC7M9gether

C Em F

Pre-chorus

GI still hear trains at Fnight, when the wind is right I

GRemember everyFthing, lick and thread this string

Chorus

That will Cnever mend you or tailor more

Than a Fmemory of a kitchen floor

or the Amfire door that Emwe kept propping Fopen

And I Clove this place, the enormous sky

And the Ffaces, hands that I'm haunted by

So Amwhy can't I forgive these Fbuildings, these frameworks labeled C7M9home
