[Verse 1]
Am Fmaj7 Am
Down among the dead
Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7 C Em
The wide-eyed and the legless, only half a head
Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7
Half a mouth to laugh from the porthole
Am Fmaj7 C Em
With the more than faded epitaphs
[Prechorus]
C Am Fmaj7 G
Will you ever more tie up my hair with velvet bows?
C Am Fmaj7 G
Will you ever more pull out the splinters from my toes?
Am
I don't think so
[Verse 2]
Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7 Am
Out in the hornet rain the swarming stingers
Fmaj7 C Em
Pumping poison through my veins
Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7
Lacking on the star-crossed lover's map
Am Fmaj7 C Em
Take the beating lash, lash for lash
[Prechorus]
C Am Fmaj7 G
Will we ever more kiss on the boardwalk’s fading red?
C Am Fmaj7 G
In the light of the waves and the comet’s waning tail
Am
I don't think so
[Chorus]
Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7
No more looking back, looking back, looking back
C Em
Faded epitaph
Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7
No more looking back, looking back, looking back
C Em
Faded epitaph
Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7
No more looking back, looking back, looking back
C Em
Faded epitaph
Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7
No more looking back, looking back, looking back
C Em
Faded epitaph
