 Intro: A

 Verse 1 - 2: (0:17)

       A
It was in your basement apartment 
                           D
with all of its earth and sea 
        E        A     D
making love on the carpet 
           D         E  A
under the light of the tv 


 A
outside the sour moon minstrels 
                      D
shook their dark tambourines 
             E       A    D
the morning came in sinister 
      D      E         A
well window light menacing

it won't stand still

I thanked you for being honest            (Jason)

these are the hangover days               (Jason)
                                D
of frosted glass and metallic gleam       (Jason)
 D         E   A    D
all these new non-places                  (Emily)
                 E   A
they erase your memory                    (Emily)

meanwhile all of fashion's latest
      D               E          A
were nipping at the heels of history 

 A
I tried to send you a postcard 
                                   D
but all you could write were apologies   (Emily)
   D           E     A       D
so out the Columbia hotel window 
            E               A
I threw my heart into the street         (Both)
