D5 F# G A let’s open up those blinds . but someone has to sweep the floor , G F# A pick up her dirty clothes . that job’s not mine . Bm A now that everyone’s an enemy , my heart sinks . D5 F# G let’s put away those claws . A G F# i don’t blame them for their curtains - calls because i pulled the rope . A i wanna call them back out for applause . Bm A spring and thompson on the first of may is horrible . D5 F# G A we hid in catacombs . so now i’m sleeping next to mousetraps , G F# A in a bed of all our clothes , while i hope that she won’t come home . Bm A D5 F# G it was easier to lock the doors and kill the phones than to show my skin , A G F# because the hardest thing is never to repent for someone else , A Bm D Bm D Bm D A it’s letting people in . Bm D Bm D Bm D A Bm A well you can come inside , unlock the door , take off your shoes . D5 F# G but this might take all night , A G F# to explain to you i would have walked out those sliding doors , A but the timing never seemed right . Bm A when your helicopter came and tried to lift me out , D5 F# G i put its rope around my neck . A G F# and after that you didn’t bother with the airlift or the rescue A - you knew just what to expect . Bm that with the door closed , A shades drawn , we’re dead enough . D5 F# G they don’t open from outside . A G F# and someone has to speak with their teeth behind their tongue , A to never let that right be denied . Bm A we can’t rely on photographs and visitation time , D5 F# G but i just don’t know where to begin . A i wanna bust down the door , G F# if you’re willing to forgive . A Bm D Bm D Bm D A i’ve go the keys , i’m letting people in . Bm D Bm D Bm D A G D don’t be scared to speak , A don’t speak with someone’s tooth , G D don’t bargain when you’re weak , A don’t take that sharp abuse . G D A some patients can’t be saved , but that burden’s not on you . G D A don’t ever let anyone tell you you deserve that . x9 not too sure about the don’t be scared to speak part , so if anyone works it out , please email me at dr . tchock@hotmail . co . uk thanks , sam
