Gmaj       C/D   Gmaj      C/D
She on the left, he on the right

Gmaj              C/D        D   Gmaj
They sit in their living room

Gmaj         C/D   Gmaj          C/D
Stare at the fire, sparks up the flue

  Gmaj        C/D    D       Gmaj
Escape to the night, bedtime soon


D                          C/D
And sure there's plenty to talk about

Em                      D
But there's not much to say

Am           Gmaj
God's on the mantelpiece

                     C/D                 D
And what's He got to do with all of this anyway


        Gmaj    C/D     Gmaj    C/D
And the silence here is written

         Gmaj    C/D         Gmaj   C/D
It's the holiest you've ever seen

      C  (lift off 2nd & 4th string)
These two just bookends

       C          Gmaj
To the spaces in between

They say they can talk about anything
Unlike so many others they know
Three out of five end in divorce
A matter of course, they read it was so

F#/E   Gmaj    F#/E    D    F#/E   Gmaj   F#/E

She closes the book, he puts out the fire
She turns down the bed, coming dear
They lie in the dark, listening to
Whispering ghosts in the downstairs room

REPEAT CHORUS
