[Main riff]

F C F F    Bb G    Ab Bb     Ab G F

[Verse 1]
F                                        C
- 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]
                     C                        Bb
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]
                                     C
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

[Interlude]
| C | Bb | G | Ab | Bb | Ab | F | F |

[Verse 4]
                     C                               Bb
"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
                           F
Bleeding in his stead

[Verse 5]
                       Bb                  G
In her head, a picture of a boy
              Ab                  Bb
Left and lonely in the rain
Ab               Bb
-- And all around the night
           F
Sang out like cockatoos.

[Outro]
C Bb G Ab
Bb Ab F F
