[Verse]
F#m Dmaj7 Aadd11 A Bm The phone slips from a loose grip F#m Dmaj7 Aadd11 A Bm Words were missed, then some apology F#m Dmaj7 I didn't want to tell you this Aadd11 A Bm No, it's just some guy she's been hanging out with F#m D Aadd11 A Bm I don't know, the past couple of weeks, I guess F#m Dmaj7 Thank you and hang up the phone Aadd11 A Bm Let the funeral start, hear the casket close F#m Dmaj7 Aadd11 A Bm Let's pin split-black ribbon to your overcoat F#m Dmaj7 The laughter pours from under doors Aadd11 A Bm in this house I don't understand that sound no more F#m Dmaj7 Aadd11 A G Seems artificial, like a T.V. set
[Chorus]
Bm Haligh, Haligh, a lie, Haligh A This weight, it must be satisfied G You offer only one reply A You know not what you do Bm As you tear and tear your hair from roots A Of that same head you've twice removed G Now a lock of hair you said would prove A Our love would never die Bm Well, ha ha ha
[Verse 2]
F#m Dmaj7 I remember everything A Bm The words we spoke on freezing South Street F#m Dmaj7 All those mornings watching you A Bm Get ready for school F#m Dmaj7 You combed your hair inside that mirror A The one you painted blue Bm And glued with jewelry tears F#m Dmaj7 Something about those bright colors A Bm Would always make you feel better F#m Dmaj7 But now we speak with ruined tongues A Bm And the words we say aren't meant for anyone F#m Dmaj7 It's just a mumbled sentence to A Bm A passing acquaintance, but there was once you F#m Dmaj7 A You said you hate my suffering, and you understood Bm And you'd take care of me F#m Dmaj7 You'd always be there A G Well, where are you now?
[Chorus]
Bm Haligh, Haligh, a lie, Haligh A The plans were never finalized G But left to hang like yarn and twine A Dangling before my eyes Bm As you tear and tear your hair from roots A From that same head that you have twice removed G Now, a lock of hair you said would prove A Our love would never die Bm And I sing and sing of awful things A The pleasure that my sadness brings G As my fingers press onto the strings A Yet another clumsy chord Bm Haligh, Haligh, an awful lie A This weight would now be satisfied G I'm gonna give you only one reply A I know not who I am
[Bridge]
F#m G But I talk in the mirror A D To the stranger that appears Bm Our conversations are circles G A Always one sided, nothing is clear F#m G Except we keep coming back A D To this meaning that I lack Bm He says the choices were given G And now, you must live them A Or just not live Bm But do you want that?
