    A                                   (A)

A                                   D
V2:   You kiss the wrist of the hand that has twisted itself all into your hair
    A                                    (A)
    You close the blinds and doors behind me and clear all obstacles on the stair
    G/D        (G/D) D        (D)  A  D  A (A)
      You are an open book, I am on the bathroom floor
