Verse 1:
F                        C
- She walked out of her house
             Bb               G
And looked around at all the gardens
             Ab              Bb
That looked back around her house
             Ab                       F
Like all the faces that change in a smile


Verse 2:
             C              Bb
And he was standing at the corner
           G
Where the road turned dark
   Ab           Bb
A part of shiny wet like blood
     Ab                               F
The rain fell straight down on the street


Verse 3:
                       C
As kisses fainted she fell
             Bb             G
Her head an inch away from heaven
        Ab
And her face pressed tight
        Bb            Ab                       F
And the color of the night sang out like cockatoos


Interlude:

Verse 4:
               C                 Bb
Oh, thousant things I thought I said
              G                     Ab
To save the thought that you would love again
    Bb                Ab                      F
To save an other you cause you need to understand
