GCadd9G
the sidewalk bends where your house ends
Cadd9G
like the neighborhood is on its knees
Cadd9G
you're surrounded by a chain-link fence
Cadd9
that keeps me out but lets me see
GCadd9G
well i come by most every night
GCadd9G
the shutters pounding in the breeze
GCadd9G
a clothesline strung like paper kites
GCadd9
that blow my words right back at me
G
back at me
Am7
but someday when my heart exhales
i'll tell you everything
Dsus2C
these sweet words spilling all about us
Am7
i'll say please please be with me
and i'll breath so easily
Dsus2
but instead i'm turning blue
i look at you
G
and keep my stupid mouth shut
the hall light streams out through the screens
and the shadows capture me in webs
just tangled up in what i've seen
and every word i have not said
i have not said
