Capo 1

Verse:
FF        A minorAm
Once there was a building
    Bb majorBb
In the city where we lived
    FF       A minorAm
It was marked for demolition
   Bb majorBb
Some planners wanted it
    C majorC
To fall into it's own footprint
      Bb majorBb
So there's poetry I guess
      DmDm  C majorC
In all this ruin
     FF       A minorAm
You were born down at a factory
Bb majorBb
Viennese & true
FF           A minorAm
warped with years and weather
     Bb majorBb
Like the hands that danced on you
  C majorC
Of city boys who played you
     Bb majorBb
'til your keys were black and blue
  DmDm             C majorC
And city girls who'd break your heart


Chorus:
  A minorAm      DmDm
But oh to be the sound
         Bb majorBb
Ringing in their ears
        C majorC
Bandaging their hearts
        FF
Bandaging their hearts


Verse:
  FF         A minorAm
We threw you from the window
   Bb majorBb
Of a prehistoric floor
  FF        A minorAm
For what was coming up at you
  Bb majorBb
The quiet struck the loudest chord
  C majorC
To be the one piano
   Bb majorBb
In a theatre of horns
         DmDm   C majorC
Just does things to you
     FF        A minorAm
And your wooden keys were broken
  Bb majorBb
The hammers wrapped in felt
   FF       A minorAm
Were busted and I'm praying
Bb majorBb
Somewhere out there someone's built
  C majorC
An instrument so sensitive
  Bb majorBb
It registers the swells
    DmDm          C majorC
and it records that you were here

Chorus:
  A minorAm      DmDm
But oh to be the sound
         Bb majorBb
Ringing in their ears
        C majorC
Bandaging their hearts
A minorAm      DmDm
Oh to be the sound
         Bb majorBb
A augmentedA tourniquet for tears
        C majorC
Bandaging their hearts
       FF
Bandaging our hearts


Outro:
       Bb majorBb
Bandaging our hearts
       FF
Bandaging our hearts
       Bb majorBb
Bandaging our hearts
       C majorC
Bandaging our hearts
       Bb majorBb
Bandaging our hearts
       FF
Bandaging our hearts
       Bb majorBb
Bandaging our hearts
       C majorC
