Chords

[Verse 1]
Eb                  Ab               C
I saw a name in the graveyard that I knew

        Bb                  F             Ab
Glowing, like the neon in a lounge light

Eb                           Ab                         C              
Spelled just the same as the twinge that crawls through you

      Bb                      F           Ab
As it passes slowly through a fast night

Eb                               Ab               C
Dear everything I've harmed, the fault lies on my tongue

      Bb                 F          Ab
And I, take it holy as a last rite

Eb                    Ab                  C
I picked away all the gray hairs that I'd grown

Bb
That remained on the
[Chorus 1]
F        Ab
Outside

        F            Ab
And I'm wound tight

    F
And bound by

    Db                                  
The secrets you saved

    Ab
The pieces you kept

        Eb        Bb 
They've risen and slept

        F       Ab
Without you
[Verse 2]
Eb                       Ab             C
I tried to break all the objects that I threw

       Bb                   F            Ab
When I kept the tidiness of town life

Eb                      Ab            C
I tried to sing all the verses that I knew

      Bb                    F            Ab
Of it, screaming softly in a loud mic

Eb                    Ab              C
How do I blame all my carelessness on you?

       Bb                         F            Ab
Tell me, taking is mostly what it sounds like

Eb                       Ab                       C
Hard words to sing but I laughed 'cause they were true

Bb
And it's seen on the
[Chorus 2]
F         Ab
Outside

        F            Ab
And I'm wound tight

    F
And bound by

    Db                                  
The pieces you saved

    Ab
The secrets you kept

        Eb        Bb 
They've risen and slept

        F
Without you
