Standard (EADGBE)

 all that music in your mouth

 rivers rushing at your teeth

 cresting waves through wading valleys

 flooded language tributaries

 connect and cover over me

 tensing jaw & cork screw eyelids

 as if you couldn't bare to see

 all that water pouring from you

 collecting clouds inside the ballroom

 over people who don't know you

but darling i do

(Return to palm-muted power chords)

 you trance yourself back towards the city

 blood not moving to your feet

 your foot falls tentative and muffled

 automatic listless shuffle

 your sidewalk scatter brain, cry uncle

 you paint yourself back in your corner

 and look for her on your t.v.

 it's friday night and i am hungry

 for a hand, a mouth, a body

 a love i wouldn't have to carry

(For the next section, either play the riff or the chords below)

 a stitch in my mouth

 and i'm untying now

 a concrete canal

 in a bomb border town

(return to palm muted power chords again)

 an echo in the rafters

but you killed her in waves

 she stayed a steam to hiss at you now

 he killed her in waves

 but that's not today

(back to palm muting again)

 so you breathe through your mouth

 try to calm yourself down

 and keep what you found

 and shout it out loud

(And stop palm muting again)

 she can hover and hurt

 or dissolve to dirt

 some prayer in you mouth

 and she might stay a steam

 so get to the beams

 let you figure her out
