Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Key: E MajorE

Verse 1:
E MajorE
Love descended in the water
            G+G   D MajorD
In the breaking of the mother-daughter
E MajorE
Father-son and lines of genes
G+G         D MajorD
Rip and crease and keep things clean
E MajorE
In the teeth and in the tether
         G+G    D MajorD
In the backwards-beating weather
E MajorE
To the endpoint, to the hollow
G+G         D MajorD
Two loves' labours lost in colour

Hook:
A augmentedA              E MajorE
Lost in dreams and crumpled pride
A augmentedA              D MajorD   A augmentedA   E MajorE
The night my piano upped and died, died, died


Verse 2:
E MajorE
Love came down for many years
            G+G    D MajorD
And lost her teeth with raindrop tears
E MajorE
Swelled her woodwork, pushed her pedals
G+G         D MajorD
She went home without a medal
E MajorE
She went down down, all the way
         G+G  D MajorD
Now she plays an alleway
E MajorE
Now she cuts her shape with debt
G+G           D MajorD
And now she's past it, past her best


Hook:
A augmentedA              E MajorE
Lost in dreams and crumpled pride
A augmentedA              D MajorD   A augmentedA   E MajorE
The night my piano upped and died, died, died

Verse 3:
E MajorE
Now she's past and all alone
            G+G    D MajorD
She laughs a drainpipe down the phone
E MajorE
Somewhere in the distant nether
G+G       D MajorD
I can hear her off the tether
E MajorE
Off the hook of ones and twos
        G+G     D MajorD
Now she really sings the blues
E MajorE
Now she dances at a mess
G+G       D MajorD
Now she has a 2:59?:


Hook:
A augmentedA              E MajorE
Lost in dreams and crumpled pride
A augmentedA              D MajorD   A augmentedA   E MajorE
The night my piano upped and died, died, died
