Keep Ringing Your Bell Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

EI'm counting out dollars while I limp to your brownstone.

 I can Ajust barely cover what I nAmeed to get back home.

 And I knF♯mow we're allowed indiscretion in our lives,

 but I've been maB7king mine count every night for a while.

 I keep dEeleting your number and name from my cell phone,

 but I cAall every day; that's as Amfar as my act goes.

 What you F♯mhave helps me turn down the noise that I make,

 but when it sB7tops it just pokes me and keeps me awake.

 My frEiends always warned about living cliches

 but my fAriends aren't there when I mAmeet you these days.

 I count pF♯meople and street signs from the back of your car

 and then B7skip back excited to wherever they are.

riff 1

I take risks in the stall while they talk by the bar.

I won't go back outside 'til my memory starts

erasing itself into something less brutal,

some beautiful bullshit I pretend to belong to.

 For as lEong as the truth tucks itself into bed,

 and the bAeat of my heart and the hAmeat of my breath

 keep me hF♯mopeful and distant and proud of myself,

 I'll keep rB7inging your bell every night around twelve. E
