Medicine Bottle Red House Painters
[E]Giving in to [F]love
And sharing my [E]time
Letting someone [F]into my misery
I[E] told it all step by [F]step
How I landed on the i[G]sland
And how I'd [F]swim across the [E]sea
And it crosses my [F]mind
That I may awake to a knife in [G]me
No more [F]breath in my hair or ladies' under[E]wear
Tossed up over the [F]alarm clock
Blood dripping from the [E]bed to a neatly written [F]poem
A heartfelt last [E]line r[F]eading
'There is no more [G]mystery"
Is it going to [F]happen, my l[E]ove?
'There is no more [F]mystery"
Is it going to happen, my [G]love?
It's all in my [F]head, she said, "Morning after n[E]ightmare
You're building a [F]wall," she said, "Higher than the [E]both of us
So try living [F]life instead of hiding in the [E]bedroom
Show me a [F]smile and I'll promise not to [G]leave [F]you"
It happened under a [E]rainy cloud
Passing through the [F]dark south
We went into a [E]big house
And slept in a [F]small bed
I didn't know you [E]then
As well as you of [F]me
We talked of our s[E]ad lives
And we went [F]off separ[G]ately
And we went o[F]ff separa[E]tely
I found your overseas souv[F]enirs
Holiday g[E]reeting cards
And some long-[F]forgot high school f[G]ears
'It's all in my [F]head," I said
Banging a [E]piano
'I've not been so [F]alone," I thought
'Since kicking in the [G]womb"
I drank so much [F]tea
I wrote my letters in [E]Kanji, yeah
Around the block I [F]walked and walked
Pretending you were [E]with me
Not wanting to d[F]ie out [G]here
With[F]out [E]you
instrumental
[E] [F] [E] [F] [G] [F] [G] [F] [E]
The hurting never [F]ends
Like birthdays and [E]old friends
We forget that is [F]flesh
Blood and bone is [E]human
Trading phone lines for [F]airlines
Unwilling to [E]face
That love is [F]found on the i[G]nside
Not the [F]outside
And like a [E]medicine bottle
In the [F]cabinet I'll [G]keep you
And like a [F]medicine bottle
In my [E]hand I will [F]hold [G]you
And [F]swallow you [E]slowly
As to last me a [F]lifetime
Without holding too [E]tight
I do not want to [F]lose[E]
The thrill that it [F]gives me
To look out from my [E]window
And scowl at the [F]houses
From my [E]world in my [F]bedroom
'It's all in his [G]head," she read
In a [F]girlfriend's self-[E]help book
'It's all his own [F]making
A war with hims[G]elf
Like two sides of a [F]wall
That [E]separates two c[F]ountries
He shuts out the [E]world
And wants only to l[F]ove you'
Not wanting to [G]die out [F]here
Witho[E]ut you
Not wanting to d[F]ie out [G]here
Wit[F]hout [E]you
