There are maybe ten or twelve

G D
Once there was a haunted loop
Em D
Of your deep, fallen tears
C C
A forehead resting on a

record shelf...
G D
Amid moving boxes stacked
Em D
I'm still waiting for the right words
C D
Make of that what you will
[Chorus: 2 x 3 bars]

And the eyes they were
Em D
A color I can't remember

Which says more than

the first two verses
G D
And it is the devil you know
Em D
That will slam the door harder
C D
Make of that what you will
[Chorus x 2: 4 x 3 bars]
G D Em D C D
Make of that what you will
G D Em D C D G
