Crumbs chords and lyrics - CRAIG FINN

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]My sister has a daughter that doesn't
[C]look much like her
[G]She looks more like the father
she [D]won't see
She's mostly on her
phone these days
She's [C]got a couple friends
her age
Some secret[G]s that she'd
die to try to keep
[D]

[Verse 2]
When I'm staying in their [G]guest room
I can [A]hear her in the next room
The whis[G]pers and the silence
[D]and the sighs
She doesn't eat much breakfast
A [C]single slice of toast at most
[G]Watches from the corners
of her eye[D]s
There's crumbs [G]around the corner of her mouth

[Verse 3]
[D]
You [G]can hear the highway
from [A]their house
The [Bm]traffic sounds like wa[A]ter in
[G]a river rushing [D]south
We'll never win this [A]war but maybe
[G]we can wait [D]it out
We'll never win this [A]war but maybe
we [G]can wait it out
[D]

[Verse 4]
Her mother is my sister
She's a fight[C]er but she's tired now
The [G]third shift's such a bitch to
decent [D]sleep
On Sundays she puts perfume on
[C]And waltzes with the vacuum on
[G]Sucks up the destruction of the [D]week

[Verse 5]
In the kit[G]chen there's a radio
[A]She sings along the ones she knows
Remem[G]bers back when some
of these [D]were new
When the girls all chose a guy from
the [C]dances at the Y
Because it [G]felt like that was what
you're supposed [D]to do

[Verse 6]
Now all [G]those choices seem a little [D]grim
Vi[G]olent wild or disengaged
and [A]dim
[Bm]The highway goes [A]forever
But your fund[G]s will fence [D]you in
Paying bills and [A]stubbing out
gener[G]ic [D]super slims
The years they put the [A]yellow in
her hair [G]and teeth and skin
[D]

[Verse 7]
Her [Em]husband was a contractor
a [G]hunter and a fly fisher
He [C]never raised a hand he just withdrew
[G]So far[Em] inside his head that you would
barely [G]even notice him
[C]A ghost that's usually in
the other [D]room[Em]

[Verse 8]
[Em]Eventually they started sleeping
separ[G]ately
[C]Eventually it didn't even [G]hurt
Last [Em]winter he moved out to
his brother[G]s house
Even[C]tually he stopped
going to work
[D]

[Verse 9]
Now she [G]hasn't seen a check
in seven [D]months
They're [G]living off of credit
cards and crumbs
[A]

[Verse 10]
She's [G]pretty sure [A]her daughter has been
meet[G]ing up [D]with boys
We'll never win this [A]war but
maybe we [G]won't get destroyed
[D]She's wishing that
that high[A]way
Wouldn't make [G]that goddamn [D]noise

[Verse 11]
She [Em]doesn't really trust
her daughter's [A]friends
But she's [Em]happy that I'm
helping out with [A]rent[D]
[A]So [D]we stay up late [A]and talk
about [G]the way it was before
[D]We can maybe wait it [A]out but we'll
[G]never win this [D]war
We can maybe wait it [A]out but
[G]we'll never win this [D]war
