[Verse 1]
[Em]I grabbed
hold of her wrist and my hand closed from tip to tip
I said, you've [G]taken the diet too far,
you've got to let it slip
But she's [Em]not eating again,
she's not eating again
She's [G]not eating again,
she's not eating again

[Verse 2]
I [C]ask her to speak French and then
[Am]I need her to trans[C]late
I [D]get the feeling she makes the
meaning more significant
She was [C]always far too pretty for [Em]me
To believe in [D]a single word she said,
believe a word she said
[F]

[Verse 3]
[Am]At fourteen her mother died
in a routine operation
From al[C]lergic reaction to a
general anesthetic
Spent the [Am]rest of her teens
experimenting with prescriptions
In a [C]futile attempt to know

[Verse 4]
more than the doctors
[F]She said, one day to leave her
Sand up to her [G]shoulders
waiting for [Am]the [F]tide
To drag her to the [Am]ocean,
to another [G]sea's shore
This thing hurts [Gm]like [G]hel[F]l but
what did you expect
[Am]

[Verse 5]
[C]
And all you [F]can [C]hear is the sound
of your own [F]heart
And [C]all you can feel is your [D]lungs
flood [G]and the [Am]blood course
But oh I [C]can see five [F]hundred
[C]years dead set ahead of [F]me
[C]Five hundred behind,
[D]a thousand years in [Am]perfect symmetry

[Verse 6]
Best [C]known left wrist right finger
through all the southern states
On every [D]video games machine
they [G]call her triple A
[D]There [C]were racists on the radio try
[Em]ing to give up smoking
[D]The chat show host, he joked
You have to [G]wait for the
government program
[D]You

[Verse 7]
[F]talk about your politics
And I wonder if you could
be one of them
But you could [Am]nev er kiss a Tory boy
Without wanting to cut
off your tongue again

[Verse 8]
A good [C]place to look to the future is
When you are sat at the sea
With the [Am]salt up to your ankles
And a view of the end of the pier

[Verse 9]
You may look [C]down at your model's feet
And wish that you'd just float away
And [F]the weather here is overcast
And the sea is the same shade of [C]gray

[Verse 10]
So the land[G]scape before you looks
just like the edge of the world
But to the left [F]side and the right side
Either [Am]way is a crazy golf course
[G]The sea is a good pla[F]ce to
think of the future
[Am]

[Verse 11]
[C]
And all you [F]can [C]hear is the sound
of your own heart
And all you can feel is your [D]lungs
flood [G]and the [Am]blood course
But oh I [C]can see five [F]hundred
[C]years dead set ahead of me
Five hundred behind,
a thousand [D]years [Dsus4]in perfect symmetry[D]
[Em]A thousand [C]years no getting
rid of me
[F]A thousand years in [C]perfect [G]symmetry
