The Story of Someone's Shoe Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]It's either,
[F#m]Something in their eyes
[D]or something in the drink
But [Bm]whatever it is they both
[G]stop and think
There's [D]no going back
and noth[Bm]ing above
It's [G]lust or loneliness, [A]but never [F#]love.
[G]She takes a breath as [A]he takes his keys
[F#dim]First name terms[Am]
is the ex[G]tent of [Bm]it
there's [Em]no getting o[G]ut as th[D]ey're going in[A]
But [G]by tomorrow they both [A]will begin

[Verse 2]
To re[Bm]gret and renege on a
[D]bond they have struck
A [G]small price to pay and [A]casual [F#]luck
[Bm]Some lose nothing, some lose a [D]lot
But whatever we [G]have [Bm]is all we
[D]have [F#m]got.
[D][Bm][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]He takes [F#m]her hand [Bm]and leads to the room
In [G]half light and silence for
their clothes to remove
[D]There's doubt in her mind
but [Bm]hope in her heart
That this [G]last one of many [A]may be the start.

[Verse 4]
So they [G]wriggle and
writhe for an [F#m]hour or two
But [F#dim]time has no place
[G]when two are consumed.
[F#m]They moan a[Em]nd they gasp
[D]but they don't really speak
As [G]no conversation could fit this [Bm]scene.

[Verse 5]
[G]An [D]d[F#dim][Am][G][F#m][Em][D]
[Em][Bm][F#m][Bm]
[G]tom[Am]orrow[Em] as always, a[F#m]lways co[F#]mes[Bm][F#m]
[D]As [G]she slips away, he still dumb[D][G]
[D]He felt [F#m]the urge just as she felt the need
[D]Now the nee[G]d to get out,
still car[A]rying his seed,
[Bm]Which trickles down her leg
and onto her shoe
[G]Onto the pavement and
[A]then out of [Em]view
[Bm]Into the gutter and down into a drain
[D]Joining [G]a river and the[Bm]re
[A]to re[Bm]main

[Verse 6]
There's [Bm]no going back
and there's [D]nothing above
It's [G]lust and loneliness that [F#m]drives [Em]us along
[Bm]
