Chords with lyrics
Intro:
C majorC FF A minorAm G+G FF
C majorC FF
Ceiling tiles are falling down, selling secrets between now
A minorAm G+G FF
And defeated pasts on last defense
C majorC FF
The walls can’t keep the warm in here, this busted house of cans of beer
A minorAm G+G FF
Aluminum, some plaster and some fear
C majorC FF A minorAm
There are her bones, there are the fossils
G+G FF
There near the sewer pipe
C majorC FF A minorAm
There, between floors, between wars
G+G FF
There on a two-by-four
E minorEm FF
Harmonic notes still humming from her lyre
C majorC G+G FF
Just set my little soul on fire
FF A minorAm
Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
FF A minorAm
Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
FF A minorAm
In the shape of my latest sin
FF A minorAm
In the wake of soon moving - on
FF A minorAm
Though this house is crumbling down
G+G FF
She’s whispering her last words now
FF A minorAm
Did he love her there on the floor?
(When he pressed his mark in that knotted board, pressed an oath in that knotted board)
FF A minorAm
Just two names, one shape, tangled minor chords
(A augmentedA heart around their sweet accord, wrapped around their love and stored)
FF A minorAm
The first day, got away, then so many more
(A augmentedA decade past, and then a score)
G+G C majorC A minorAm G+G
Now winter falls, decay and dark creating art showing the world just where you really are
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
Oh sweet Louise, since eighty-three
FF C majorC G+G
While paneling and pyramids fall down
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
Oh, sweet Louise, now I believe
FF C majorC G+G
In rafters in this beat-up, blue-neck town,
FF G+G C majorC
In turning tides, in me, in hidden vows.
Break:
C majorC FF A minorAm G+G FF
C majorC FF A minorAm
There are her bones, there are the fossils
G+G FF G+G
There near the sewer pi--ipe
C majorC FF A minorAm
There are her bones, there are the fossils
G+G FF
Unfinished song I complete
C majorC FF A minorAm
There on his throne, here in their castle
G+G FF
My Pygmalion ivory
C majorC FF A minorAm
Here on my own, like this home
G+G FF
The landlord collects his fee
C majorC FF A minorAm
I’m growing old, I'm so alone,
A minorAm
These ceiling tiles are falling down
G+G FF
I’m seeing what I’ve got to see
FF A minorAm
Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
FF A minorAm
Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh
FF A minorAm
Oh oh oh, oh oh,
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
Oh sweet Louise, since eighty-three
FF C majorC G+G
While paneling and pyramids fall down
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
Oh, sweet Louise, now I believe
FF C majorC G+G
In rafters in a rugged Worcester town,
FF G+G C majorC
