Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x 2

 I am walking out in the rain

 And I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again

 And I am getting no where with you

 And I cant let it go and I cant get through

 The old woman behind the pink curtain

 And the closed door on the first floor

 Shes listening through the airshaft

To see how long our swan song can last

 And use both hands, Now use both hands

 Oh, no, dont close your eyes

 I am writing graffiti on your body

 I am drawing the story of

 How hard we tried

 How hard we tried

 I am watching your chest rise and fall

 Like the tides of my life and the rest of it all

 And your bones have been my bedframe

 And your flesh has been my pillow

 Ive been waiting for sleep to offer up the deep

 With both hands

Ah-h-h-ah, Both Hands

 In each others shadows we grew less and less tall

 And eventually our theories couldnt explain it all

 And Im recording our history now on the bedroom floor

 And eventually the landlord will come and paint over it all

 And I am walking out in the rain

 And I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again

 And I am getting no where with you

 And I cant let it go and I cant get through

Both hands, Now use both hands

 Oh, no, dont close your eyes

 I am writing graffiti on your body

 I am drawing the story of

 How hard we tried

 How hard we tried

 How hard we tried
