Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]We drained [D]every di[Bm]ve
In the [G]lower east [D]side[Bm]
And [G]you failed to catch [D]the train
[Bm]back to Quee[G]ns[D][Bm]
So you [G]came to my [Bm]room
We did some [F#m]thing [G]s that
we knew not to [Bm]do
In [G]the glow of [Bm]the night's
golden hue
[G][D]

[Verse 2]
[Bm]
You've got [G]a t[C]attered line of s[D]tring
And you [Em]tied around [Bm]everything
That you [C]want to call [D]your own
But it [Em]never seems to [Bm]hold

[Verse 3]
When we [G]woke, we [Bm]agreed
That we would [G]not ever [D]speak[Bm]
Of [G]this night to any[D]one[Bm]
that we both [G]knew[D][Bm]
And [G]you said, "Every time we [Bm]kissed
I felt [F#m]something [G]that couldn't exist[Bm]"
And I [G]confessed that I [D]thought
[Bm]I felt it too[G]
[D]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]
I've got [G]a t[C]attered line of s[D]tring
And I tied [Em]around everything
That I [C]want to call my [D]own
But it [Em]never seems to hold
[Bm]I've got a[Em] tat[Bm]tered

[Verse 5]
[C]line of str[D]ing
And I tied [Em]around [Bm]everything
That I [C]want to call my [D]own
But it [Em]never seems to hold
[G]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]Everything[G][Bm][D]
Everything
[Bm]Never seem[G]s t[Bm]o
[G]hol[Bm]d[G][Bm]
[G]Never [Bm]seems to[G] hold

[Verse 7]
[G]You've [Bm]got a tatte[C]red line of stri[D]ng
And you [Em]tied around [Bm]everything
[Em]That you [C]want to call your [D]own
But it [Em]never seems to hold

[Verse 8]
I've got a [C]tattered line of [D]string
And I [Em]tied around everything
That I [C]want to call my [D]own
But it [Em]never [G]seems[Em][C][D][Em]
[Bm]to h[C]old[D][Em][Bm][C]

[Outro 1]
[D][G][Em][Bm][Em][G]
