Tom: F
F
She'd a bruise so black they watched it fade through the full spectrum of colours
Dm
They kept it like a pet, a private joke they told no others
Dm F Dm F
And oh, how the tissue repaired, and how it turned to yellow
Dm F Dm F
And she found it disgusting, 'cause it didn't match her clothing
Dm F Dm
He said that it's not yellow, it's golden
[Chorus]
Bb Dm Bb F Bb Dm Bb
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain
Bb Dm Bb F Bb Dm Bb
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same
[Interlude]
Dm F
[Verse 2]
F
They promised they'd be best of friends from now until forever
Dm
But both were far too needy not to fall for the other
F Dm F Dm F
And how the frequent public displays of sisterly affection
Dm F Dm F
Left her feeling safe, left him with an erection
[Chorus]
Bb Dm Bb F Bb Dm Bb
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain
Bb Dm Bb F Bb Dm Bb
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same
[Interlude]
Dm F
[Verse 3]
Dm F
Her body barely visible, as bleach-white as the bedsheets
Dm
As stiff as starched, only perceptible
F
As her middle was still branded with a heat rash
Dm F
In the perfect shape of the Show-Me State
Your come-on lines sound disastrous
Dm
Noise more foreboding than volcano or earthquake
[Chorus]
Bb Dm Bb F Bb Dm Bb
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain
Bb Dm Bb F Bb Dm Bb
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same
Bb Dm Bb F Bb Dm Bb
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain
Bb Dm Bb F Bb Dm Bb
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same
[Verse 4]
N.C.
Letter from me to Charlotte
N.C.
"They appropriated everything we ever loved
N.C.
And dressed it up in quotations and fluff
F Dm
And I had a dream, though said with hands in pocket
F Dm F
I mean it hand on heart, you held a gun to his head
Dm F
Pressed your thumbs to her throat", in these letters
Dm F
Letters from me to Charlotte
[Chorus]
Bb Dm Bb F Bb Dm Bb
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain
Bb Dm Bb F Bb Dm Bb
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same
Bb Dm Bb F Bb Dm Bb
Walk out onto your front lawn and face into the rain
Bb Dm Bb F Bb Dm Bb
Shout into the wind, this'll never be the same
[Outro]
Dm
This will never be the same
Dm F
Things will never be the same again
