       C#                       F#
It had something to do with the rain
F#       F#/F      Ab
leeching loamy dirt
       C#                       F#
and the way the back lane came alive
F#       F#/F      Ab
half moon whispered "go"
      F#      Ab                C#           F#(II)
for a while I heard you missing steps in the street
         F#      Ab            C#       F#(II)
and your anger pleading in an uncertain key
F#(II)                            C#            F#
singing the sound of you that you found for me

       C#                       F#
When the winter took the tips of my ears
F#       F#/F      Ab
found this noisy home
       C#                       F#
full of pigeons and places to hide
F#       F#/F      Ab
and when the voices die
       C#                       F#
I emerged to watched abandoned machines
F#       F#/F      Ab
waiting for their men
       C#                       F#
to return, I remember the way
F#       F#/F      Ab
I would wait for you
      F#      Ab                C#           F#(II)
to arrive with kibble and a box full of beer
      F#      Ab                C#           F#(II)
how I'd scratch the empties desperate to hear
F#(II)                            F#
you make the sound that you found for me

F# /// /// F#/F /// /// G# /// /// A# /// /// 


After scrapping with the ferals and the tabby
let you brush my matted fur
how I'd knead into your chest while you were sleeping
shallow breathing made me purr

But I can't remember the sound that you found for me
I can't remember the sound that you found for me
I can't remember the sound
