[Verse 1]
And something [C]warm and soft just passed [C#m]through [C]here[C#m][A]
[C]It took the precious things that
I [C#m]hold d[C]earer[C#m][A]
[C]It rifles through the grey and disappeared
[Esus4][C#m][E][C]
[Am][C#m][A]
[C]The creeping darkness makes the
small [Esus4]hours cle[C#m]arer[E][C]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Like a cancer scare
In a dentist's chair
Sucking in the air
Wire across the stair
Kicking down the door
At your local store
When your world of bore
Forces through the floor
Unexpected news
Wearing high-heeled shoes
shoes
Blowing out the fuse
Paying all your dues
Tempering lullaby
Like a fractured tied
It's a worthless lie
To the [A]public [C#m]eye[Am]

[Verse 3]
[C]I don't take waifs and strays back
home [E]with [C#m]me[Am][C]

extend [C#m]to charity[Am]

[Verse 5]
Did you [Am]know you're
on closed-circuit [G]TV?
[C]TV?[F]
So smile at me

[Verse 6]
[C]And a [Am]dream you had
Of your mom and dad
On a beach somewhere
And the boys aren't there
With the cancer threat
In a cigarette
Tempering lullaby
Find a place to [C#m]hide[Am]

[Verse 7]
[C]And from the yellow windows of the
[Esus4]last trai[C#m]n[Am][C]
[Am][C#m][Am]
[C]A specter from the next life breathes
his [C#m]bargain of [E]pain[C][C#m][Am]
[C]I look with you into the speeding
[Esus4]black rai[C#m]n[E][C]
[Am][C#m][A]
