there were two of us, now there are three and four here 
           Am                     C                F    Dm 
and out of every mouth, we send a chill into the air 
Am              C 
spitting images, spitting bitter lies

there are so many tongues, but you know just bits of them 
Am                      C 
teeth on polished glass, scrape off all the boards 
F                        Dm 
swallow all your thoughts, wait for blood to boil

the sun sinks westward and we're soaked through and through 
        Am                        C                  F   Dm 
worried words feel warmest just before they choke you 
Am                   C 
this is permanent, love, it's the place to be 
F                           Dm 
close your frightened mouth, drift off peacefully
