Chords

[Verse 1]
D
Love descended in the water

                       F      C
In the breaking of the mother-daughter

D
Father-son and lines of genes

C                  G
Rip and crease and keep things clean

D
In the teeth and in the tether

                 F       C
In the backwards-beating weather

D
To the endpoint, to the hollow

C                  G
Two loves' labours lost in colour
[Hook]
G              D   G        D
Lost in dreams and crumpled pride

G                D G         Bm    G     D
The night my piano upped and died, died, died
[Verse 2]
D
Love came down for many years

                        F        C
And lost her teeth with raindrop tears

D
Swelled her woodwork, pushed her pedals

C                 G
She went home without a medal

D
She went down down, all the way

                 F   C
Now she plays an alleway

D
Now she cuts her shape with debt

C                      G
And now she's past it, past her best
[Hook]
G              D   G        D
Lost in dreams and crumpled pride

G                D G         Bm    G     D
The night my piano upped and died, died, died
[Verse 3]
D
Now she's past and all alone

                       F        C
She laughs a drainpipe down the phone

D
Somewhere in the distant nether

C              G
I can hear her off the tether

D
Off the hook of ones and twos

               F         C
Now she really sings the blues

D
Now she dances at a mess

C               G
Now she has her idle guys
[Hook]
G              D   G        D
Lost in dreams and crumpled pride

G                D G         Bm    G     D
The night my piano upped and died, died, died
