[Verse 1]
 F
She'd a bruise so black they watched it fade through the full spectrum of colours

 Dm
They kept it like a pet, a private joke they told no others

         Dm               F           Dm               F
And oh, how the tissue repaired, and how it turned to yellow

   Dm              F                    Dm                F
And she found it disgusting, 'cause it didn't match her clothing

   Dm                F                   Dm
He said that it's not yellow, it's golden
[Chorus]
Bb   Dm    Bb     F              Bb      Dm     Bb 
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain

Bb   Dm    Bb     F    Bb      Dm     Bb
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same
[Interlude] Dm F [Verse 2]
 F
They promised they'd be best of friends from now until forever

 Dm
But both were far too needy not to fall for the other

     F       Dm               F           Dm         F
And how the frequent public displays of sisterly affection

   Dm             F         Dm             F
Left her feeling safe, left him with an erection
[Chorus]
Bb   Dm    Bb     F              Bb      Dm     Bb 
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain

Bb   Dm    Bb     F    Bb      Dm     Bb
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same
[Interlude] Dm F [Verse 3]
   Dm                        F
Her body barely visible, as bleach-white as the bedsheets

    Dm
As stiff as starched, only perceptible

                           F
As her middle was still branded with a heat rash

         Dm                     F
In the perfect shape of the Show-Me State
Your come-on lines sound disastrous
        Dm
Noise more foreboding than volcano or earthquake
[Chorus]
Bb   Dm    Bb     F              Bb      Dm     Bb 
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain

Bb   Dm    Bb     F    Bb      Dm     Bb
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same

Bb   Dm    Bb     F              Bb      Dm     Bb 
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain

Bb   Dm    Bb     F    Bb      Dm     Bb
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same
[Verse 4] N.C. Letter from me to Charlotte N.C. "They appropriated everything we ever loved N.C. And dressed it up in quotations and fluff
                         F                    Dm
And I had a dream, though said with hands in pocket

  F                    Dm                       F
I mean it hand on heart, you held a gun to his head

                       Dm       F
Pressed your thumbs to her throat", in these letters

                   Dm   F
Letters from me to Charlotte
[Chorus]
Bb   Dm    Bb     F              Bb      Dm     Bb 
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain

Bb   Dm    Bb     F    Bb      Dm     Bb
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same

Bb   Dm    Bb     F              Bb      Dm     Bb 
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain

Bb   Dm    Bb     F    Bb      Dm     Bb
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same
[Outro]
                        Dm
This will never be the same

                          Dm   F
Things will never be the same again
