C5                 A5                  C5                   A5
come rebuild your memory with a small mountain of burning leaves
      C5                       E5               F5
and a swinging wire door that slams shut like a guillotine
C5                      A5
strum a note up in the wires
        C5                       A5
to send bats down the river, seagulls around spires
    C5                       E5
and shred all the twilight, scatter it city-wide

 
F5             D5
those average angels
F5                       D5
the drunken saints with heavy heads
              F5
they can keep dreaming, 
            E5             F5         C5
dreaming of sleep down the end of the bed

 
    F5        E5         F5               C5
but nobody's ever gonna break your heart again...

C5       A5                           C5
and the high-pitched, crooked thoughts
     A5                     C5
that ricocheted off the walls
         E5                  F5                         C5
she just set them down quiet, safe in her dresser drawer
         C5                        A5
she laid me out on the laundromat floor
                C5                     A5
and said you'll be not nearly who you were anymore
         C5                 E5
and i'll always be here to remind you what time is for
F5                 D5
and those average angels
F5                             D5
the drunken saints with heavy heads
F5                                            D5
you see their spirits are cowering under the table
F5
and they're still counting, 
             E5      F5          C5
counting the breaths under their breath

 
    F5        E5   F5   C5
but nobody's ever...
F5        E5         F5                    C5     
nobody's ever gonna break your heart again...
