Am  Fmaj7      Am
Down among the dead
    Fmaj7     Am      Fmaj7     C    Em
The wide-eyed and the legless, only half a head
 Am    Fmaj7     Am            Fmaj7
Half a mouth to laugh from the porthole
 Am      Fmaj7       C    Em
With the more than faded epitaphs

  C                 Am       Fmaj7             G
Will you ever more tie up my hair with velvet bows?
  C                 Am          Fmaj7              G
Will you ever more pull out the splinters from my toes?
          Am
I don't think so

 Am        Famj7  Am       Fmaj7    Am
Out in the hornet rain the swarming stingers
Fmaj7    C      Em
Pumping poison through my veins
 Am    Fmaj7    Am           Fmaj7
Lacking on the star-crossed lover's map
 Am       Fmaj7   C     Em
Take the beating lash, lash for lash

  C                Am         Fmaj7               G
Will we ever more kiss on the boardwalk’s fading red?
C                    Am           Fmaj7           G
In the light of the waves and the comet’s waning tail
         Am
I don't think so

Am       Fmaj7      Am Fmaj7      Am Fmaj7
No more looking back, looking back, looking back
 C      Em
Faded epitaph
Am       Fmaj7      Am Fmaj7      Am Fmaj7
No more looking back, looking back, looking back
 C      Em
Faded epitaph

Am       Fmaj7      Am Fmaj7      Am Fmaj7
No more looking back, looking back, looking back
 C      Em
Faded epitaph
Am       Fmaj7      Am Fmaj7      Am Fmaj7
No more looking back, looking back, looking back
 C      Em
Faded epitaph
