A Love Like Pi

My Body

A Love Like Pi


Tom: C

A                              C
I can barely wait to see your face
Dm                                 F
Crack its weary mouth and let the words float into space
A                                 C
I have learned the Mississippi's pain
Dm                             F
Every path I take ends up the same


Am             F       G
My body isn't quite a symphony
    Am            F             G
But if you would put your ears close to me
       Am                F                  G
You'd find that in this dark room at night, oh
                             Am      F     G
But in this dark room oh my eyelashes are cymbal crashes


A                                C
I can barely wait to leave this room
Dm                                 F
My nervous heart plays pizzicato, parts inside the tomb
     A                          C
And every empty note will seem to sling
  Dm                                  F
Itself against the walls and make them sing
    Am             C
Oh, do do do do do-do-do-do
Dm                              F
Try to catch the truth in broken sails
    Am             C
Oh, do do do do do-do-do-do
Dm                                 F
Try to catch the truth and you will fail


   Am          F       G
My body isn't quite a symphony
    Am            F             G
But if you would put your ears close to me
       Am                   F               G
You'd find that in this dark room at night, oh
                            Am       F     G
But in this dark room oh my eyelashes are cymbal crashes

2x
Am - C -  Dm -  F

1x
Am -  C -   G  -  F

   Am          F       G
My body isn't quite a symphony
    Am              F           G
But if you would put your ears close to me
      Am                    F               G
You'd find that in this dark room at night, oh
                            Am       F     G
But in this dark room oh my eyelashes are cymbal crashes

Am  F  G   11x           
You can't hear me now 
You can't hear me now
You can't hear me now
Do do do do do-do-do-do
You can't hear me now
Do do do do do-do-do-do
You can't hear me now

Do do do do do-do-do-do (My body isn't quite...)
You can't hear me now
Do do do do do-do-do-do (But if you would put your ears...)
You can't hear me now
Do do do do do-do-do-do (You'd find in this dark room at night...)
(Well in this dark room oh my eyelashes...)
You can't hear me now
You can't hear me now
