Verse 1:
D MajorD
She stares into the mirror
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Youth fading with the sun
D MajorD
The hollows in her face
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Like wishing wells

Scarlet as a papercut
C majorC G+G D MajorD
And jewelled as the Orion

She'd never worn that jewellery as a girl

Verse 2:
D MajorD
He stares into the river
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Heart falling to the drift
D MajorD
An argument of cars
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Moving full steam behind
D MajorD
Blood-shot as a baby
C majorC G+G D MajorD
And sulking like a valley
D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD
Fishing in reflections, killing time

Bridge:
A minorAm
It's the bath that's getting cold while you're frozen to your bed
C majorC G+G
The milk that's going rancid on the table
A minorAm
The panic in the evening, the photos in the dustbin,
C majorC G+G
the pointless items we forgot to label
A minorAm
It's the perfume on her wrist, that stinks of easy birthdays
C majorC G+G
The spare keys like asbestos on the side
A minorAm
It's the cross around his neck, for luck and not for honour
C majorC E MajorE
Like diamond over knuckle on a newly married bride

That's greater than it always sounds

I know the only thing I've ever found
DmDm FF
That's greater than it always sounds
G+G D MajorD
