E Abm E B G
[1st verse]
Abm E
It started with a sandcastle
Abm E G
Today washed up my tomorrow
E
But one night the mark was made
B E G
Seared in your flesh with canola oil
[Chorus]
B E Abm
These days are piling up
F# B
Piling up like bricks
E Abm
Walls blocking off the sun
F# B
I miss you
E Abm
Oh call it what you like
F# B
My shaky memory
E Abm
We knew it from the top
F# B
We're deep sea
[Instrumental]
E G Em B E G A
[2nd verse]
Abm B E Abm
On every bus I take there's an empty seat
E G
There's an empty stare in every streetlamp
Abm Eb E
And the city nights are full of colours
Abm
Colours dormant in the day
E G B
Trashy light in the sky and a rainbow of greys
[Chorus]
B E Abm
These days are piling up
F# B
Piling up like bricks
E Abm
Walls blocking off the sun
F# B
I miss you
E Abm
Oh call it what you like
F# B
My shaky memory
E Abm
We knew it from the top
F# B
We're deep sea
[Instrumental]
E G Em B E G A B
E G Em B E A
[Bridge]
Abm Eb E Abm
The one thing that silence brings
Eb E B
These empty-house evenings
Abm Eb E Abm
My dreams are haunted by
Eb E G
Ghostly pages that I can't fill
[Chorus] x2
B E Abm
These days are piling up
F# B
Piling up like bricks
E Abm
Walls blocking off the sun
F# B
I miss you
E Abm
Oh call it what you like
F# B
My shaky memory
E Abm
We knew it from the top
F#
We're deep sea
[Outro]x2
B E Abm
We knew it from the top
F#
We're deep sea
