Back

Kissing The Lipless Tab

by Shins


Great song by The Shins.  This is how I play it...

                             
Called to see If your back was still aligned

                                                            
And your sheets Were growing grass all on the corners of your bed

                                      
But you've got too much to wear on your sleeves 

                                                                  
that has too much to do with me and secretly I want to bury in the yard

                                   
The grey remains of a friendship scarred

You told us of your new life there you got someone coming 'round
Glueing tinsel to your crown he's got you talkin' pretty loud

you berate remember your ailing heart and your criminal eyes
You say you're still in love if it's true, what can be done?
It's hard to leave all these moments behind

(Repeat 1st verse)

                                    
You tested your mettle on doe skin and petals

                                                       
And kissing the lipless you bleed all the sweetness away
