Verse 1:
C Em F
Headlights race towards the corner of the dining room
C Em F
Half illuminate a face before they disappear
C Em F
You breathe in forty years of failing to describe a feeling
C Em F G
I breathe out smoke against the window, trace the letters in your name
G F
Our letters sound the same full of all our changing
G F Cmaj9
That isn't change at all, all straight lines circle sometime
{repeat intro chords}
Verse 2:
C Em F
You said somewhere there's a box full of replacement parts to
C Em F
All the tenderness we've broken or let rust away
C Em F
Somewhere sympathy is more than just a way of leaving
C Em F G
Somewhere someone says I'm sorry, someone's making plans to stay
G F
So tell me it's okay, tell me anything or
G F
Show me there's a pull unassailable
Chorus:
C
That will lead you there from the dark alone
F
To benevolence that you've never known
Am Em F
Or you knew when you were four and can't remember
C
Where a small knife tears out those sloppy seams
F
And the silence knows what you silence means
Am Em F Cmaj9
And your metaphors as mixed as you can make them, are linked like days together
{repeat intro chords}
C Em F
Pre-chorus:
G F
I still hear trains at night, when the wind is right I
G F
Remember everything, lick and thread this string
Chorus:
C
That will never mend you or tailor more
F
Than a memory of a kitchen floor
Am Em F
or the fire door that we kept propping open
C
And I love this place, the enormous sky
F
And the faces, hands that I'm haunted by
Am F Cmaj9
So why can't I forgive these buildings, these frameworks labeled home
{repeat intro chords}
Outro:
C Em F
Headlights race towards the corner of the dining room
C Em F
Half illuminate a face before they disappear

Full of all our changing that isn't change at all.
All straight lines circle sometime.

So tell me it's okay.
G5 F5
Tell me anything, or show me there's a pull,
G5
Unassailable, that will lead you there,
F5
From the dark, alone, to benevolence that you've never known,
C5 B5 A5
Or you knew when you were four and can't remember.
G5
Where a small knife tears out those sloppy seams,

And the silence knows what you silence means,
C5 B5 A5
And your metaphors, as mixed as you can make them,
Are linked, like days, together.

VERSE
G5 F5
I still hear trains at night, when the wind is right

And thread this string that will never mend you
F5
Or tailor more than a memory of a kitchen floor,
C5 B5 A5
Or the fire-door that we kept propping open.
G5
And I love this place; the enormous sky,
F5
And the faces, hands that I'm haunted by,
C5 B5 A5
So why can't I forgive these buildings,
These frameworks labeled "Home"?
