G (320003@1)                         Bm (x24432@1) D (xx0232@1) Two carpenters of failing worth
G (320003@1)                          Bm (x24432@1) We found ourselves in disrepair
           DBut (xx0232@1)didn't care
G (320003@1) So we took the wood 
              Bmfrom (x24432@1)that old tree
        D (xx0232@1)           GBuilt (320003@1)a coffin on the sea

G (320003@1) Our ruined hands 
           Bm (x24432@1)Dcollecting (xx0232@1)dust
G (320003@1) Uneven loves that drove 
   Bm (x24432@1)     Dus (xx0232@1)into our bodies
G (320003@1) But we found the bricks 
             Bmfrom (x24432@1)our old house
         DTried (xx0232@1)to put them 
       Gback (320003@1)together
With no foundation 
     Bmunderneath (x24432@1)                  DIt (xx0232@1)crumbled right back
to a smoldering heap

Bm (x24432@1)                  GAnd (320003@1)We'll (And We'll) be taken 
                Dapart (xx0232@1)when it's over
      BmSo (x24432@1)we gave every flaw in 
    G (320003@1)                    Dour (xx0232@1)crooked construction a name
      BmAnd (x24432@1)accepted that nothing

         G (320003@1)           DYou (xx0232@1)were dying just to try it
       BmAs (x24432@1)the sutures and stitches that
A (x02220@1)                     Gheld (320003@1)you together were splitting

    BmAnd (x24432@1)you were still shaking your 
A (x02220@1)                     G (320003@1)  Dhead (xx0232@1)holding on to your nails
    Bm (x24432@1)              AAnd (x02220@1)every splinter of timber like
