Revisited

F Em When some unfamiliar faces came to shop in our old house, Dm C I didn't bother trying to stop them until they emptied it out. F Em Dm I was standing by the front door, stuffing cash in a jar, taking payment for our failures, C I only wanted to alarm you. F Em So when they asked me for directions, I sold them our map, Dm I sold our shovels and our flashlights, C They took our duffel bag with a ton of room, but a broken strap. F Em The hungry patrons hit the graveyard, I lit a joint in the house Dm C Where there was nothing but our mattress and the same soft shelter of sheets Where nobody found us. F Em Dm C F Em I let them strip your mausoleum so nothing was left Dm But they forgot to close the casket, C They sent you shivering to my doorstep F Em Gently clawing at my window when I was less than awake Dm I slid it up for you to slither through C I heard you howling "Just take me! F Just take me to the rusty city we perfected Em That holy summer we first found! Dm C The place you're stubbornly protecting is the only pretty thing that we own now. F Em And we can stay here to wither in your garden of Eden Dm C But your fantasy's a prison and you're serving a sentence you can't stop repeating F Em Dm C F Em Can you see the secret exit? The false wall in obsession? Dm C You'll only fit through the doorway when you relinquish your possessions F Em So leave everything you've stolen that you can't give back Dm C And don't replace what you've been missing until you know what you're lacking F Em Leave everything you've borrowed and kept for yourself Dm C You can't unbreak our broken leases holding on to broken pieces, so return them! No guilt, no sorry speeches. F Em Dm C
