C                         F
In the house of the lie we were living
               Am                                F
You lost your tongue and in my touch I lost all feeling
          C                            F
I saw the sun falling small upon your shoulder
            Am                                  F
I lit your smoke, we barely spoke, the days got colder


[VERSE 2]
          C                        F
I took my things to a flat in the suburbs
           Am                      F
I put your ring in the folds of a long verse
              C                                 F
Now your blue scarf, your green eyes, the great sadness
           Am                               F
They often dwell, recall and swell, a wild tempest


[CHORUS]
        C                       F
I can't hold you but I'm still kissing you
         Am                    F
I don't want to but I'm still missing you
    C         F
Oh still, oh still
        Am                          F
I carry you still, I guess I always will


[VERSE 3]
             C                           F
And in these hours that unwind with such effort
           Am                                    F
Amid this hoax, that swirls and floats, upon the weather
                C                            F
Some hearts get numb till they become frozen hopeless
            Am                                   F
But this I swear, I will live there, beyond this slowness


[VERSE 4]
          C                        F
I feel my sleep on the verge of a bright dream
             Am                             F
Where all is well and cherry light warms a dark street
           C                                F
There your hand will fall to mine safe with comfort
               Am                             F
And there your lips will rise to me till they whisper


[CHORUS]
        C                      F
I can't hold you but I'm still kissing you
         Am                   F
I don't want to but I'm still missing you
    C        F
Oh still, oh still
             Am                     F
I carry you still, I guess I always will
                 C                      F
I guess I always will, I guess I always will
                 Am                     F
I guess I always will, I guess I always will
                 C                      F
I guess I always will, I guess I always will
                 Am                     F
I guess I always will, I guess I always will
