Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

come rebuild your memory with a small mountain of burning leaves

 and a swinging wire door that slams shut like a guillotine

strum a note up in the wires

 to send bats down the river, seagulls around spires

 and shred all the twilight, scatter it city-wide

those average angels

the drunken saints with heavy heads

 they can keep dreaming,

 dreaming of sleep down the end of the bed

 but nobody's ever gonna break your heart again...

and the high-pitched, crooked thoughts

 that ricocheted off the walls

 she just set them down quiet, safe in her dresser drawer

 she laid me out on the laundromat floor

 and said you'll be not nearly who you were anymore

 and i'll always be here to remind you what time is for

and those average angels

the drunken saints with heavy heads

you see their spirits are cowering under the table

and they're still counting,

 counting the breaths under their breath

 but nobody's ever...

nobody's ever gonna break your heart again...
