Capo 1

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

Chorus:
    Am           Dm
But oh to be the sound
                 Bb
Ringing in their ears
                C
Bandaging their hearts
                F
Bandaging their hearts


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


Chorus:
    Am           Dm
But oh to be the sound
                 Bb
Ringing in their ears
                C
Bandaging their hearts
Am           Dm
Oh to be the sound
                 Bb
A tourniquet for tears
                C
Bandaging their hearts
              F
Bandaging our hearts


Outro:
              Bb
Bandaging our hearts
              F
Bandaging our hearts
              Bb
Bandaging our hearts
              C
Bandaging our hearts
              Bb
Bandaging our hearts
              F
Bandaging our hearts
              Bb
Bandaging our hearts
              C
