[Verse 1]
C             Em               F
  Headlights race towards the corner of the dining room
C         Em         F
  Half illuminate a face before they disappear
C                 Em             F
  You breathe in forty years of failing to describe a feeling
C                Em                F                                  G
  I breathe out smoke against the window, trace the letters in your name


[Refrain 1]
G                        F
  Our letters sound the same, full of all our changing
G                       F                                C    C/E  C/F    C  C/E  C/F
  That isn't change at all, all straight lines circle sometime


[Verse 2]
C           Em                  F
  You said somewhere there's a box full of replacement parts to
C          Em               F
  All the tenderness we've broken or let rust away
C            Em          F
  Somewhere sympathy is more than just a way of leaving
C            Em               F                                G
  Somewhere someone says I'm sorry, someone's making plans to stay


[Refrain 2]
G                   F
  So tell me it's okay, tell me anything or
G                    F
  Show me there's a pull unassailable


[Chorus 1]
           C                                       F
That will lead you there from the dark alone to benevolence that you've never known
        Am                 G                 F
Or you knew when you were four and can't remember
         C                                                F
Where a small knife tears out those sloppy seams and the silence knows what your silence means
          Am          G                 F                                 C    C/E  C/F    
And your metaphors as mixed as you can make them, are linked like days together
C  C/E  C/F

[Refrain 3]
G                         F
  I still hear trains at night, when the wind is right I
G                 F                    N.C.
  Remember everything, lick and thread this string


[Chorus 2]
           C                                    F
That will never mend you or tailor more than a memory of a kitchen floor
        Am             G                F
Or the fire door that we kept propping open
       C                                         F
And I love this place, the enormous sky and the faces, hands that I'm haunted by
    Am       G                F                                   C   C/E  C/F    C  C/E  C/F
So why can't I forgive these buildings, these frameworks labeled home


[Outro]
C             Em               F
  Headlights race towards the corner of the dining room
C         Em         F
  Half illuminate a face before they disappear
