Intro 

   

Verse

                        
Called to see if your back was still aligned
                  
and your sheets are growing grass
                                 
all on the corners of your bed
                                   
but you've got too much to wear on your sleeves 
                               
and it's too much to do with me
                                       
and secretly I want to bury in the yard
                                       
the grey remains of a friendship scarred

B C# B C# B C# (The electric guitar plays over this, just using B and C# too)

(Repeat verse chords)

You told us of your new life there
you've got someone coming round gluing tinsel on your crown
he's got you talking 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 those moments behind

Repeat B and C# through solo

(Repeat Verse Chords)

Called to see if your back was still aligned
and your sheets are growing grass
all on the corners of your bed
but you've got too much to wear on your sleeves 
and it's too much to do with me
and secretly I want to bury in the yard
the grey remains of a friendship scarred

Repeat B and C# through solo

   

                                    
You tested your metal of doe's skin and petals
                                                    
while kissing the lipless who bleed all the sweetness away
