View chords used in this chart
B
I can see being with you
E
You're got a body I imagine to be like
B
What I imagine you're been told
B
I can see being with you
Your clothes are great and you wear them loose,
E
And you know
B
When to hang on and when to let go
B
You had a house and you took me there
E
I had to notice that the walls were bare and white
B
Like the ashes of yesterday?s fire
B
The bed looked like a butcher?s block, and
You liked it better when I was on top
E B
And I thought about nothing at all
Abm
You seem alright
E
A little close to the night
B
But you seem alright
F#
It's inappropriate
B
But at least the walls are white
B
A piece of fool?s gold next to an empty vase;
I'm too old for you anyway.
E
And I know you?ll disagree
B
Because you know that you're pretty when you lie
B
Before I go
I think I should tell you that
All the stars are dying and
E
Most of them are already through.
B
We're just getting off on yesterday?s fire
Abm
From under a rock, I'm on my way to grace.
E
I have stopped in a thousand houses
B
On my way
B
But I never will forget,
Oh no, I never will forget about
Abm
The way we played The Fall
E
And broke your plates against the wall
B
As the sun rose
F#
Then we fell asleep in the glass,
B
And then I had to go
B
E B
E B
Abm E B
Abm E B
