- She walked out of her house

And looked around at all the gardens

Like all the faces that change in a smile


Verse 2:

A augmentedA part of shiny wet like blood
   AbAb                FF
The rain fell straight down on the street

Verse 3:

As kisses fainted she fell
       Bb majorBb       G+G
Her head an inch away from heaven

And her face pressed tight
    Bb majorBb      AbAb            FF
And the color of the night sang out like cockatoos
