[Am] [G]
I am [C] walking [Gm] out in the rain and [Am] I am listening to the low moan [G] of the dial tone again and
[C] I am getting nowhere with [Am] you and I can't let it [G] go and I [Am] can't get through.

[Am] [G]
And [C] the old woman [G] behind the [C] pink curtains [Am] and the closed door on [G] the first floor,
[C] she's
listening through the air shaft to
[Am] see how long [G] a swan song can [C] last and both hands,
now use both hands, oh [Am] no don't close your [G] eyes.
[C] I am writing graffiti on [G] your body, I [Am] am drawing the story [G] of how hard [C] we tried,
[Am] [G] how [C] hard we
tried.
[Am] [G]
[C] And I am watching your chest [G] rise and fall [Am] like the tides of my life [G] and the rest of
it all and your bones have been my bed frame and your flesh has been my pillow, [Am] I've been
waiting for sleep [G] to offer up that deep [C] with both hands.
[G]
[Am] [G] Oh, [C] with both hands.
[G]
[Am] [G]
In
[C] each other's shadow we [Em] grew [C] less and less [Am] tall and eventually our theories couldn't
[G] explain it [C] all and I'm recording our history [G] now on the bedroom [Am] wall and when we leave
the landlord will [G] come and paint [C] over it all and I'm walking [G] out in the rain and [Am] I am listening
to the low moan [G] of the dial tone again and [C] I am getting
[G] nowhere with you [Am] and I can't
let it [G] go [C] and I can't get [A] through.
[N]
[C]
[Am] [G]
[C] [G]
[Am] [G]
[C] And both hands, please use both hands, [Am] oh no don't close [G] your eyes.
I [C] am writing graffiti on your [G] body, I [Am] am drawing the story [G] of how hard [C] we tried, [G] [Am]
[G] how hard [C] we
tried, [G]
[Am] [G] how [C] hard we tried.
