Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x 2

I am walking out in the rain

And I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again

And I am getting no where with you

And I cant let it go and I cant get through

The old woman behind the pink curtain

And the closed door on the first floor

Shes listening through the airshaft

To see how long our swan song can last

And use both hands, Now use both hands

Oh, no, dont close your eyes

I am writing graffiti on your body

I am drawing the story of

How hard we tried

How hard we tried

I am watching your chest rise and fall

Like the tides of my life and the rest of it all

And your bones have been my bedframe

And your flesh has been my pillow

Ive been waiting for sleep to offer up the deep

With both hands

Ah-h-h-ah, Both Hands

In each others shadows we grew less and less tall

And eventually our theories couldnt explain it all

And Im recording our history now on the bedroom floor

And eventually the landlord will come and paint over it all

And I am walking out in the rain

And I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again

And I am getting no where with you

And I cant let it go and I cant get through

Both hands, Now use both hands

Oh, no, dont close your eyes

I am writing graffiti on your body

I am drawing the story of

How hard we tried

How hard we tried

How hard we tried
