[Verse 1]
F Bb
My lungs stone and my days all serpentine
Dm C
The tight tightness in my chest rest and subsides
F Bb
In one dull dawn with a hum that split its length
Dm C
Does my name sting your tongue - now does it babe
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
F Bb
Now your thin frame has set my eyes to fray
Dm C
On our dim stretch of this street, how it aches
F Bb
For every gray and sad - hemmed heart to coil
Dm C
And our frail eyes and their whites to finally toll
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
F Bb
Now one brash phrase could crush this fragile day
Dm C
As my thoughts swirl in some shrill sad cannonade
F Bb
The one such spur - that caused my throat to creak
Dm C
The one dull dawn that I've sentenced to repeat
