[Intro 1]
[C][Csus2][C][Am]
[D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 1]
The [G]word
s upon the page
threw the [Am]sky into a rage,
[G]so it [Csus2]washed them all away,
a waste of [G]paper.
[C]Now [G]fragments of the truth
swirl [Am]above my rainy roofs
[G]What my [Csus2]letterbox would
call a waste of [G]paper
[C]South wind, with your [Bm]wide mouth,
blow the [Am]pieces through the [Em]trees
[C]North wind, with your [Bm]cold breath,
freeze my [Em]heart
As I [C]gather up a [Csus2]faster pa[C]ce,
I won't go on another pa[Csus2]per chase[C]
[C#dim][C][Csus2][Dsus4][D]
[G][Bm][G]
[Am]The [C]tree[G]s that must have died
as you [Am]buried me alive
[Em]Live in a tomb[Am] of empt[C]y talk[G],
a waste of paper
[D]And all[Csus2] the lakes of ink it t[G]ook
to tell [Am]me that you think
A marriage doc[C]ument is
[G]just a waste of paper
[C]East wind, with your [Bm]kind face,
stuff a [Am]mail train, blow it [Em]back[Bm][Em]
[Bm]West [C]wind, will you [Bm]whistle,
hurt the [Em]scraps
Into [C]the wind, where they belong
I won't go on,
another pa[Csus2]per chase[C][C#dim]
I'll [C]trail behind
until [Bm]you tell me [Em]face to [D]face
[C]As all[C#dim] of your excuses[D]
[G]litter [Em]up the pl[D]ace[C][Csus2][C]
[Am][Eb]
[Dm][D][G][D][Csus2][G][D][G][D]
[C][D]
[Csus2][D]
[C]East wind, with your kin[Bm]d face,
stop the [Am]mail train, blow it back
[Em]Your train [Bm]blowin' by
[C]West wind, will you [Bm]listen?
Heard the [Em]scraps
[C]Into the pin
Where they belong
I won't go on
Another people [D]chase[C#dim]
I'll [C]trail behind
Until [Bm]you [G]tell[Bm] me firs[Em]t to f[G]ac[D]e[C]
As [C#dim]all of your excuses[D]
[G]litter [Em]on the pl[D]ace
You'll [C]never leave this place
never leave this
never leave this place
