Intro
A5 , C5

A5
I grabbed hold of her wrist and my hand closed from tip to tip
C5
I said ?you?ve taken the diet too far, you have got to let it slip?
A5
But she?s not eating again, she?s not eating again,
C5
she?s not eating again, she?s not eating again.
A5
I ask her to speak French and then I need her to translate, 
C5
I get the feeling she makes the meaning more significant.
A5
She was always far too pretty for me to believe in a single 
C5
word she said, believe a word she said.

A5 , C5

A5
At fourteen her mother died in a routine operation, 
C5
from allergic reaction to a general anesthetic. 
A5
She spent the rest of her teens experimenting with prescriptions, 
C5
in a futile attempt to know more than the doctors.
A5                                            C5
She said one day to leave her, sand up to her shoulders waiting for the tide
A5
to drag her to the ocean, to another sea?s shore.
C5
This thing hurts like hell,
A5
but what did you expect?

C5

A5                          C5
And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
A5                           C5
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
A5                    C5
But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me
A5
Five hundred behind,
C5
A thousand years in perfect symmetry

A5 , C5

A5
Best known left wrist right finger, through all the Southern States, on 
C5
every video games machine they call her triple A.
A5
There were racists on the radio trying to give up smoking, 
C5
the chat show host, he joked ?you have to wait for the government program?.
A5
You talk about your politics, and I wonder if you could be one of them , but 
C5
you could never kiss a Tory boy without wanting to cut off your tongue again.
A5
A good place to look to the future is when you are sat at the sea, with the 
C5
salt up to your ankles and a view of the end of the pier, you may 
A5
look down at your model?s feet and wish that you?d just float away, and the 
C5
weather here is overcast and the sea is the same shade of grey, so the 
A5
landscape before you looks just like the edge of the world, but to the 
C5
left side and the right side, either way is a crazy golf course.
A5                         C5
The sea is a good place to think of the future.

A5                          C5
And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
A5                           C5
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
    A5                              C5
But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me
A5
Five hundred behind,
C5
A thousand years in perfect symmetry
A5
A thousand years no getting rid of me
C5
A thousand years in perfect symmetry. 

A5 , C5 until end.

Its not perfect, but for acoustic cover its good.
