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

Verse 1:
G+G               E minorEm
Good morning to the empty street:
     C majorC          G+G
I'm like a dresser full of leaves
  C majorC    D MajorD   G+G
My eyes as dry as dust
 G+G            E minorEm
There is a curtain in my mouth
     C majorC        G+G
It opens and a song comes out
   C majorC    D MajorD G+G G/F# E minorEm
I've sung the loneliest words
    C majorC         D MajorD
Words into your listening stones
 G+G   G/F#   E minorEm
Moss curled and songs
          C majorC        D MajorD
Have twirled their tunes around your bones

Verse 2:
 G+G             E minorEm
Good morning Uncle with your pen
     C majorC        G+G
The furniture was born again
   C majorC     D MajorD     G+G
At night while you slept in
 G+G               E minorEm
The room it wrapped around your body
    C majorC         G+G
Double pillows held your head
 C majorC      D MajorD    G+G G/F# E minorEm
I watched your shrinking skin
E minorEm       C majorC          D MajorD
And all the lines that fill your face
G+G G/F# E minorEm  C majorC         D MajorD
I-iii-iii-n were falling into space
 D MajorD             G+G
There is a light that is so dim
    G/F#       E minorEm
And a hand that pulls you in
C majorC        G+G    D MajorD
When you can't swim anymore
D MajorD                G+G
The freezing water fills your lungs
 G+G       D MajorD          E minorEm
The weight of waves surrounds your skin
     C majorC       G+G       D MajorD
And the outside comes all the way in

Verse 3:
 G+G               E minorEm
Your heart is held inside this box
      C majorC       G+G
And we've got to turn it off
   C majorC     D MajorD
So please don't be afraid
 G+G              E minorEm
The love you gave us will go on
        C majorC          G+G
We'll hold your memory when you're gone
   C majorC     D MajorD   G+G G/F# E minorEm
Your self just can't be saved
E minorEm       C majorC              D MajorD   G+G G/F# E minorEm
So close your eyes and I'll turn off your heart
E minorEm      C majorC      D MajorD
Watch the sick room fall apart
 C majorC           D MajorD     G+G G/F# E minorEm
This machine's counter restart
E minorEm     C majorC
If I could hold your open
 G+G      D MajorD
Never-broken heart
 D MajorD               G+G
I would have held it from the start
