Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: E

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

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


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


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


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


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