C Am C Am
come rebuild your memory with a small mountain of burning leaves
C Em6 F
and a swinging wire door that slams shut like a guillotine
C Am
strum a note up in the wires
C Am
to send bats down the river, seagulls around spires
C Em6
and shred all the twilight, scatter it city-wide
F D9/F#
those average angels
F D9/F#
the drunken saints with heavy heads
F
they can keep dreaming,
Em Fm C
dreaming of sleep down the end of the bed
F Em Fm C
but nobody's ever gonna break your heart again...
(not 100 porcent on this bit, pick the chords) C F C Am G
C Am C
and the high-pitched, crooked thoughts
Am C
that ricocheted off the walls
Em6 F C
she just set them down quiet, safe in her dresser drawer
C Am
she laid me out on the laundromat floor
C Am
and said you'll be not nearly who you were anymore
C Em6
and i'll always be here to remind you what time is for
F D9/F#
and those average angels
F D9/F#
the drunken saints with heavy heads
F D9/F#
you see their spirits are cowering under the table
F
and they're still counting,
Em Fm C
counting the breaths under their breath
F Em Fm C
but nobody's ever...
F Em Fm C
nobody's ever gonna break your heart again...
