C Em
We drained every night
C Em
In the lower East Side
C Em C Em
And you failed to catch the train back to Queens
C Em
So you came to my room
C Em
We did some things that we knew not to do
C Em C Em
In the glow of the nights golden hue
Chorus
F G
You've got a tattered line of string
Am C
That you've tied 'round everything
F G
That you want to call your own
Am C
But it never seems to hold
Verse II
C Em
When we woke we agreed
C Em
That we would not ever speak
C Em C Em
Of this night to anyone that we both knew
C Em
And you said Every time we kiss
C Em
I felt something that could not exist
C Em C Em
And I confessed that I thought that I felt it too
Chorus
F G
You've got a tattered line of string
Am C
That you've tied 'round everything
F Em
That you want to call your own
G C
But it never seems to hold
Break

Chorus
F G
You've got a tattered line of string
Am C
That you've tied 'round everything
F G
That you want to call your own
Am C
But it never seems to hold
