[Verse 1]
[Am]The[Em][C][G][Am][Em][C][G][Am]
[Em]phone
[C]slips from a l[G]oos[C]e g[Am]rip[Em]
Words were [C]missed then, some [G]apology
[Am]"I d[Em]idn't want to tell[C] you this
No, it's just [G]some [C]guy she's
[Am]been hangin' out [Em]with
I [C]don't know, the past couple week[G]s,
I [C]guess"[Am]
[Em]Well, thank you and hang [C]up the phone
Let the fu[G]neral start,
hear the cas[Am]ket close
[Em]Let's [C]pin [Em]split-black ribbons
[C]ribbons to [G]our [Am]overcoats
Well, [Em]laughter pours from [C]under doors
In this [G]house, I don't under[Am]stand
that sound [C]no [Em]more
It seems [C]artificial, like [G]a TV s[F]et

[Verse 2]
Well, [Am]haligh, haligh, a lie, haligh
[G]This weight, it must be satisfied
You of[F]fer only one reply
You [G]know not what you do
But you [Am]tear and tear
your hair from roots
From that [G]same head you
have twice removed
A [F]lock of hair you said would prove
Our [G]love would never die
Well, ha [Am]ha ha
And I remem[C]ber everything

[Verse 3]
The [G]words we spoke on
[Am]freezing South Street
[Em]And all those morn[C]ings watching
you get [G]ready for [Am]school
You [Em]combed your hair [C]inside the mirror
The one you [G]painted blue and [Am]glued
with jewelry tears
[Em]Something 'bout those [C]bright colors
Would always make you [G]feel [Am]better
[Em]But now we speak with ruin[C]ed tongues
The [G]words we say aren't
meant [Am]for anyo[C]ne
[Am]Just[Em] a mumbled sentenc[C]e
to [G]a passing acquaintance
[Am]But there was once you

[Verse 4]
[Em]You said you hate my sufferi[C]ng
You un[G]derstood,
[Am]you'd take care of [Em]me
You'd [C]always be there
[G]Where are you now?
[F]

[Verse 5]
Haligh, haligh, a [Am]lie, haligh
The [G]plans were never finalized
But [F]left to hang like yarn and twine
[G]Dangling before my eyes
As you [Am]tear and tear your hair from roots
From that [G]same head you
have twice removed
A [F]lock of hair you said would prove
Our [G]love would never die

[Verse 6]
And I [Am]sing and sing of awful things
The [G]pleasure that my sadness brings
As my fin[F]gers press against the strings
An[G]other clumsy chord
[Am]Haligh, haligh, an awful lie
This [G]weight will now be satisfied
I'm gonna [F]give you only one reply
I [G]know not who I am

[Verse 7]
But I [Em]talk in the [F]mirror
To the [G]stranger that appears
[C]Our conversations are cir[Am]cles
Always one [F]sided, nothing [G]is clear
Except we [Em]keep coming [F]back
To this [G]meaning that I [C]lack
He says the choices were [Am]given
Now you must live [F]them, or just not live
[G]But

[Verse 8]
do you want [Am]that?

[Outro 1]
[Am]
