Dsus2                        Dsus2              Dsus2   C  F  riff 1
a wallpaper pulls his punch, talks to judy in a crowded corner
Dsus2                      Dsus2      Dsus2    C  F  riff 1
he don't read page to page or say the words in order
Dsus2                   Dsus2            Dsus2  C        F  riff 1
judy's illustrating and she's a stranger to the straight face
Dsus2                     Dsus2   Dsus2 C  F    riff 1
always seems so far away, staring out into space

hihat break

Dsus2                     Dsus2              Dsus2   C      F      riff 1 
"i'm sorry, tried to stay away" says punch, "later account, though"
Dsus2                      Dsus2           Dsus2     C  F  riff 1
you dress like an opposite but really it's more than echo
Dsus2                   Dsus2                            Dsus2     C   F riff 1
judy leans over, like a strike of a clock says, "i don't buy that, boy."
Dsus2                     Dsus2                  Dsus2 C   F  riff 1
there's two inside of you and they're both gonna be destroyed.

F#m                        C#
in the alley, mixing blood cheek to cheek
Bbm                   G#                    F#m           G#m B
you're up against the words you never could dare to speak
F#m                C#
it's your conflict shored up tight
Bbm        G#                    F#m         C#
your heavy steps that follow her steps so light

Dsus2                Dsus2            Dsus2        C    F riff 1       
so judy holds punch, cufflinks inside her clenched fist
Dsus2              Dsus2       Dsus2   C    F riff 1
she had a dream of bandages on punch's wrist
Dsus2                    Dsus2                        Dsus2      C   F riff 1
so she sees punch with a thorn in his hand and says, "stop right there
Dsus2                 Dsus2           Dsus2  C  F  riff 1         
what the fuck are you doing don't you know i care?"

hihat break

Dsus2                       Dsus2                Dsus2 C  F   riff 1
but she hears the bark of a cop and drops to the dirty street
Dsus2                           Dsus2                    Dsus2      C  F riff 1
"i wonder," punch says, "do you know what at all, what's protecting me?"
Dsus2                Dsus2                 Dsus2    C   F  riff 1   
judy used to hold me like a pencil writing out some change
Dsus2                 Dsus2     Dsus2      C  F  riff 1
her cheap philosopher was spare change for brains

F#m                        C#
in the alley, mixing blood cheek to cheek
Bbm                   G#                    F#m           G#m B
you're up against the words you never could dare to speak
F#m                C#
it's your conflict shored up tight
Bbm        G#                             F#m   C#
your heavy steps that follow her steps so light
