Am                            
   I heard your voice  

          Em
Through a photograph

Am                             
   I thought it up and

Brought up the past

Can never go back

  Centuries are what 

   Em
It meant to me

Am                   
  A cemetery where 

  Em
I marry the sea

Am                     
  Stranger things 

      Em
Never change my mind

            G

Am                    Em
  Pour my life into a paper cup

Am                         
  The ashtray's full and 

    Em
I'm spillin' my guts

Am                       
  She wants to know am

[Verse]

Am                         
  Scarlet starlet and 

      Em
she's in my bed

Am                 
  A candidate for 

  Em
a soul mate bled

Am                    
  Push the trigger 

    Em
and pull the thread

I've got to take it
