[Intro 1]
[G][Gm][G]
[C][G][Gm][G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[Gm]Love
des[G]cended in the water
In the breaking of the
mother-daughter
Father-son and and and lines of genes
[Bb]Rip and crease and k[C]eep things clean
[G]In the teeth and in the tether
In the back[Gm]wards-beating weather
[Am]weather
[Gm]To t[G]he endpoint, to the hollow
[Bb]Two months' labour l[C]ost in colour

[Verse 2]
[C]Lost in dreams [G]and [C]crumpled [G]pride
[C]The night my [G]piano [C]upped and [Em]died,
[C]died, [G]died

[Interlude 1]
[G][Gm][G][C][G]
[Gm][G][Gm][C]

[Verse 3]
[Gm]Love came down for [G]many years
And lost her teeth with raindrop tears
Swelled her woodwork,
pushed her pedals
[Bb]She went home [C]without a medal
[Gm]She went down down, [G]all the way
Now she plays [Gm]an a[Am]lleway[G]
Now she cuts her shape with debt
And now [Bb]she's past it, [C]past her best

[Verse 4]
[C]Lost in dreams [G]and [C]crumpled [G]pride
The [C]night my pian[G]o u[C]pped and d[Em]ied,
[C]died, [G]died

[Verse 5]
[G]Now[Gm][G][C][G]
[C][G][Gm][G][Gm]
[C]she[G]'s past and all alone
She laughs a drainpipe down
the phone
Somewhere in the distant nether
[Bb]I can hear her off[C] the tether
[G]Off the hook go ones and twos
[Gm]Now she really sings the blues
Now she dances [G]at a mass
[Bb]Now she has her [C]idle guys

[Verse 6]
[C]Lost in dreams [G]and [C]crumpled [G]pride
[C]The night my [G]piano [C]upped and [Em]died, [C]died,
[G]died

[Outro 1]
