B                                           A         B
When we walked the streets together
B                                                         A         B
All the faces seemed to smile back,
B                                                 Em                     
And now the pavements have nothing to offer
D         Em                                            B        A     B
    And all the faces seem to need a slap

                           B              A   B
There?s an unfamiliar grip 
 B                                              A B
on an unfamiliar handkerchief
B                                                    
Attending to the tears on cheeks 
Em                 D     Em
I wouldn?t notice 
Em                                                       B         A   B
With you no matter how vicious the grief
B                       Em                            D       Em 
Her expression was damp and crooked 
Em                                                   B      D    C#   G  
Grabs onto my throat and won?t let go

A        F#    B   D  C#  G
Won?t let go
A        F#    B   D  C#  G
Won?t let go

Can?t you see
C#                G         A        F#     
I?m the ghost in the wrong coat
B      D    C#   G    A    F#   B
Biting butter and crumbs

                      B                         A   B
There?s a handsome maverick 
B                                                         A     B
You don?t talk about to keep me calm
B                                  Em          D   Em 
And I can't help it if I create a version
Em                                        B          A     B
That pulls you back onto his arm

B           D     G    F#
Please don?t tell me
B           D     G    F#     B    D   G   F#
You don?t have to darling, I can sense
B        D     G     F#        E           D    
That he painted you a gushing sunset
C#                            A                      B             D   G   F#
And slayed angry panthers in your defence.
 B     D      G     F#         E                 D   
And he stands separate and ever deadly
C#                                              B      D    C#   G 
Clings onto my throat and won?t let go

Won?t let go
