INTRO:
D Edim/D D Edim/D D Edim/D D
Verse 1:
D E
Your heart sings like a kettle
B D
And your words, they boil away like steam.
D E
And a lie burns long while the truth bites quick,
B D
A heart is built for both it seems.
E
You are lonely as a church,
B D
Despite the queuing out your door.
E B D D9
I am empty as a promise, no more.
Chorus:
D A7 G
When the time comes,
D A7 G D
And rights have been read,
A7 G
I think of you often
D A7 G
But for once I meant what I said.
INTRO:
Verse 2:
I was salted by your hunger,
Now you've gone and lost your appetite
And a little bird is every bit as handy in a fight.
I am lonely as a memory
Despite the gathering round the fire.
Aren't you every bird on every wire?
Chorus 2:
D A7 G
When the time comes,
D A7 G D
And rights have been read,
A7 G
I think of you often
D A7 G
But for once I meant what I said.
D A7 G D
Here I stay, I lay me down,
A7 G D A7 G
I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill.
D A7 G D
Here I stay, I lay me down,
A7 G
In a house by the Hill.
D A7 G D A7 G
I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill.
