Verse 
Em                   Am 
Oh those bells they ring 
                D                    Em 
How we used to sing, how we used to sing 
Em                Am 
Looking for that chase 
            D                       Em 
Nothing of design, something in the way 
Em            Am 
Them, I never knew 
                       D 
I was stuck there in a page 
                  Em        G 
Toilin' neath the moon 


Chorus 
(bar chords) 

Am     D     G              Em 
All I know, standing in the door 


Em (2nd intro part) 

Verse 
Em             Am 
Oh that summer sting 
                  D                    Em 
Traveling in the night, making copper rings 
Em                 Am 
Yes, that needle's swoon 
 Em                D                      Em 
Caught with just a glance, perfected by a spoon 
Em          Am 
Sunset or a mass 
                   D 
Watching restless waves 
                 Em    G 
Rosemilk from a flask 


Chorus 
Am     D    G               Em 
All i know, standing in the door

Em (2nd into part) 

Verse 

Em              Am 
You were oh so new 
                  D                     Em 
Coiled atop your wall, waiting for the news 
Em            Am                 D                     Em 
But oh to be alone, on a dowtown train headed for your home 
Em            Am 
faded not, it grew 
                D 
you provide the days 
              Em         G 
I will see it through 

Chorus 
Am    D     G               Em 
All I know, standing in the door 

Interlude 
ends on high e, 15th fret
