[Intro]
Am | C | Fm7 | G
Am | C | Fm7 | G
[Chorus]
Am C
Pitter, pitter patter on the wall
F G
rain slants down, the rain it falls
Am C
keeping time to your story loll
F G
while you say nothing at all
[Verse 1]
F C
you sit with our cigarette ash
G Em
under tin roofs and it feels like home
F C
we’re just in a nicotine dream
G Em F
of figurative means though the smoke it chokes
C
you hide in your metaphors,
G Em
your fancy words, all those gross abstractions
F C
speak out ‘bout a hero’s frailty
G Em
but you never tell me, never tell me why
F C
why is it that you have to be
G Em
some great, ancient mystery
F C
I’m resigned to watch the water,
G Em F | F
it doesn’t falter. such stark contradictions
[Chorus]
Am C
Pitter, pitter patter on the wall
F G
rain slants down, the rain it falls
Am C
keeping time to your story loll
F G
while you say nothing at all
Am C
Pitter, pitter patter on the wall
F G
rain slants down, the rain it falls
Am C
keeping time to your story loll
F G | G
while you say nothing at all
[Interlude 1]
Em Am F C G*
Em Am F C G*
Em Am F C G*
Em Am F Gsus G (half measure)
[Verse 2]
F C
and I am the innocent one
G Em
breathing in deep as you heave beside me
F C
speaking out with poetic tongue
G Em F
mask what you’ve done in manic ramblings
C
we’re two blue centerlight pops
G Em
and the world goes “ah”, but we miss with each other
F C
and you know oh you know you’ve hurt me
G Em
but you blame gravity said you couldn't catch me
F C
even then I believe
G Em
no one ever been so naive
F C
and as much as I’d love to hit you
G Am G
I’d rather kiss you no I’d rather miss you.
[Chorus]
Am C
Pitter, pitter patter on the wall
F G
rain slants down, the rain it falls
Am C
keeping time to your story loll
F G
while you say nothing at all
Am C
Pitter, pitter patter on the wall
F G
rain slants down, the rain it falls
Am C
keeping time to your story loll
F G
while you say nothing at all
F G
At least Heaven’s opening up
F G
At least Heaven’s opening up
