Linens (CHORDS) by Water Liars
[Verse 1]~
C F C
You were crying in the night and I could hear you
G F C
I could see your slender body shake and tremble
C F C
and there was nothing I could think to say or do to make you see
G F C
it's something wrong in me that makes me have to leave
[Chorus]~
Am C
what I would give to be quiet beside you
Am C
with the window open,, a record playing low
Am C
to feel your skin between the clean bed linens
G F C
inside a room where sadness never goes
[Verse 2]~
C F C
We were kissing in the kitchen,, I was listening
G F C
to the coffee and the bacon drip and sizzle
C F C
there was flour on my hands from the biscuits in the pan
G F C
and I was happier than I thought I could be
[Verse 3]~
C F C
Then I woke up on the road,, my head was killing,,
G F C
remembering some shit I read in Milton
C F C
how the mind is a place unto itself and in it
C G F C
makes a heaven of hell and a hell of heaven
[Chorus]~
Am C
what I would give to be quiet beside you
Am C
with the window open,, a record playing low
Am C
to feel your skin between the clean bed linens
G F C
inside a room where sadness never goes
C F C
