Tom: Am
Am Dm
If the keys in my hand turned a lock of your hair
Dm F E Am
I would walk through a glance and I’d stop at the stare
Am Dm
Then I’d follow it down to the very last step
Dm F E Am
And I’d wait by the room where your secrets are kept
[Bridge 1]
C E Dm Am C E Am
Singing mm, mm, mm
[Verse 2]
Am Dm
If you beckoned me in I would hang my black hat
Dm F E Am
on a bottle of pain by your hurricane lamp
Am Dm
Then I’d search every shelf with that flame as my guide
Dm F E Am
and I’d burn every book with a villain inside
[Bridge 2]
C E Dm Am C E Am
Singing mm, mm, mm
[Chorus]
F E Dm Am
Then I’d march through the door to you parlor of need
F E Am C
Where the glass on the floor would make weaker men bleed
F E Dm Am
But the weight of my words would turn slivers to dust
F F E E
And I’ll pace for as long as I live If I must
[Verse 3]
Am Dm
Then I tip toe outside, I’d admire the hedge
Dm F E Am
And I’d climb up your walls to the very top ledge
Am Dm
Then I’d pause for a time and I’d look at your world
Dm F E Am
And I’d fashion a rhyme for a lost little girl
[Outro]
C E Dm Am C E Am F E Dm Am F E Am
Singing mm, mm, mm
