and get it right the fuck out, that sentimental slush

and hang the memories on the wall

          C5               E5
gathering dust, gathering dust
          C5               F5
gathering dust, gathering dust
               C5          E5          C5         F5
just gathering dust

C5     E5   A5          F5              G5
meals on wheels, fast food without a doubt
         C5        E5     A5                F5                   G5
I had to eat them all myself, because the housebound had gone out
               C5        E5         A5                   F5               G5
they said it's not that we're ungrateful, but must you always know our whereabouts
             C5         E5     A5
you nail our memories to the wall

          C5               E5
gathering dust, gathering dust
          C5               F5
gathering dust, gathering dust

           F5          G5        E5    A5
so let the bells ring loud and clear 
F5          G5         E5   A5
shake them free from rust 
           F5        G5      E5     A5
you've got so much left to share
            F5                   G5
but there's no-one that you can trust


C5          E5          C5         F5

C5     E5    A5         F5               G5
three in a bed, tired eyes and sleepy heads
       C5       E5    A5               F5                G5
well i woke up in a sweat, i felt the future's silent thrust
           C5   E5   A5             F5               G5
and saw it all too clear, however fast or far you run
             C5       E5          A5     F5               G5 
well all you are and all you've loved, dissolving into slush
            C5    E5        A5        G5
so when the sleepy hearts crawl

          C5               E5
gathering dust, gathering dust
          C5               F5
gathering dust, gathering dust
               C5          E5          C5         F5
just gathering dust

         F5              G5      E5    A5
so don't bother with a clever message
       F5        G5    E5   A5
we're off to another song
         F5          G5          E5      A5
there's no keeping up with the bitter springs
       F5                                    G5
by the time that you're ready we'll be long gone
