C
The first time that I thought we met
G
I had only dirty clothes
Am
And we were sitting in the attic room
F C
Feeling out eachothers’ finger puppets
G Am
Searching for some small sense of control
F
Over anything
C G Am F
Was it all wishful thinking?
(PM the following)
C G Am
Carefully placed road lines
F C G Am F
I’m overcharging my credit card again
C G Am F
‘All worth it in the end’ They said
C G
Just one thread has torn
Am
It’s all there is to notice anymore
F
Just one thread has torn
C G Am F
It’s all they’ll ever notice anymore
C G Am
Carefully set thought lines
F
I’m now
C G Am F
Overtaxing this car again
C G Am F
Spare parts a part of you now
C G
Spare parts
Am F
Apart from you
Pt 2 intro closes the song at a faster pace.
