Fixative Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]If there's a d[G]iamond in [C]my mind
Will it dwindle down [G]to naught[C]
Or will it [Am]always be [G]defined
[C]If I can't fix it in my hea[G]rt

[Verse 2]
[D]So I'm retur[C]ning to
[G]the place[D]
That I might look [C]into your
[G]eyes[D]
And look so [C]hard that I can [G]taste
[Em]That winter sun that never
set[G]s[Em]
The swallow caught up in the nets
[G]The[Em] perfect chorus when it hits[G]
[C]Don't slam the door, boy, when you[G] leave

[Verse 3]
[C]Was heading nor[Am]thward when I s[G]aw
[C]That empty hou[Am]se out in the mist[G][C]
There [Am]are traces left for [G]sure[C]
On every mouth you [G]ever kissed

[Verse 4]
[D]So I'm retur[C]ning to
[G]the word[D]
That I might look [C]between the [G]lines
[D]That I might dutif[C]ully recall
[G]The[Em] blue within your
seagull [G]stare[Em]
The funny ways you had [G]to care
For [Em]every little thing beyond com[G]pare
[C]Don't slam the door, boy,

[Interlude 1]
when you leave
[G][C][Am][G][C][Am][G][C][Am][G][C]
[D]

[Verse 5]
[Em]So now I'm calling in the [G]gulf
[Em]When you went walking with the w[G]olf
Hey [Em]boy, you really brought it on [G]yourself
[C]Don't slam the door,
now, when [G]you leave

[Verse 6]
[Em]The strangest for we ever face[G]d
[Em]The stark in every staging grace[G]
[Em]Is crushing diamonds into paste[G]
[C]Don't slam the door, boy,
[G]when you [C]leave
Don't slam the door, boy, when you leave
