Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
If you remember the sharks tooth you gave me, I will hang it round the throat of my first born baby
Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
and the weight of the chain on his shoulders, will hang heavier each day that he gets older
Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
so I carry my own weight in plaster, and sleep with my lips wrapped round a coat hanger
Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
when you were only as good as the picture, fluttering burning stain in my fingers
Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
and I, I, I, I, I~
Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
tried, tried, tried, tried, tried~
A F#m A Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
to mummify the silence in the room, with you
Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
I lived 86 hours underground though I didn't help to dig the tunnel
Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
used the time to carve four others, where the tongue and the gum and the bone all hover
Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
and I, I, I, I, I~
Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
tried, tried, tried, tried, tried~
A F#m A Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
to mummify the silence in the room, with you, you, you, you, you~
Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
tried to, to, to, to, to~
A F#m A Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
mummify the silence in the room, with me
(solo)
Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
purple flairs and no shoes, in a muddle in the middle of fairview airy
Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
I wrapped my body in tape, I made my face into a loaf of bread
Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
and I, I, I, I, I~
Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
tried, tried, tried, tried, tried~
A F#m A Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
to mummify the silence in the room, with you, you, you, you, you~
Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
tried to, to, to, to, to~
A F#m A Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
mummify the silence in the room, with me, me, me, me, me~
Bm7 F#m Em Bm7
me, me, me, me, me~
Bm7, F#m, Em~, Bm7~
