- She walked out of her house
Bb G
And looked around at all the gardens
Ab Bb
That looked back around her house
Ab F
Like all the faces that quiz when you smile
[Verse 2]

And he was standing at the corner
G
Where the road turned dark
Ab Bb
A part of shiny wet like blood
Ab F
The rain fell black down on the street
[Verse 3]

As kissed his feet she fell
Bb G
Her head an inch away from heaven
Ab
And her face pressed tight
Bb Ab
And all around the night
F
Sang out like cockatoos

"There are a thousant things" he said
G Ab
"I'll never say those things to you again
Bb
And turning on his heel
Ab
He left a trace of bubbles

Bleeding in his stead

In her head, a picture of a boy

Left and lonely in the rain

-- And all around the night

Sang out like cockatoos.
