VERSE 1
 
I drew a  
C7b9 
scar on my soul for you
 
Beside my  
C7b9 
house where the brambles  
Fm6-9 
grew
 
One April  
Fm6-9/D 
day
 
Its walls were  
Bbsus4 
weeping 
 
 
Bmaj7b5/A# 
green
Ab-5/C 
Inside
Ab-5/C 
Empty
 
I locked and  
Adim 
chained
 
Doors’ swollen  
Ab 
strain
 
To  
B6sus2 
walk some  
Fm6-9 
days
VERSE 2
 
I drew a  
C7b9 
scar on my soul for you
 
Because the  
C7b9 
trinkets I wandered  
Fm13 
through
 
Advised me  
Fm6-9/D 
to
 
Just let it  
Bbsus4 
all play  
Bmaj7b5/A# 
through
Ab-5/C 
Their 
 
voice
 
Is  
Ab-5/C 
my 
 
voice
 
Your grudging  
Adim 
smiles
 
Your dark, dark  
Ab 
eyes
 
I  
B6sus2 
have no  
Fm6-9 
choice
VERSE 3
 
I drew a  
C7b9 
star on my soul for you
 
My idle  
C7b9 
soul cheap with ridi
Fm13 
cule
 
By your  
Fm11/G# 
side I, a mute, am  
C#maj7b5 
lain
 
Lacking  
Fm11/G# 
just the embrace of  
Eb6sus2 
lace 
 
 
B9b5 
INTERLUDE
D-5/G# 
 
Dmaj7/A 
 
G#dim7 
 
Am 
D-5/G# 
 
Dmaj7/A 
 
G#dim7 
 
Am 
 
She said,  
D-5/G# 
“Because I cannot  
Dmaj7/A 
pay for the room
G#dim7 
I must go  
Am 
back to work”
D-5/G# 
A jeep appears  
Dmaj7/A 
out there by the gates
G#dim7 
She gets in,  
Am 
off it goes
 
Am 
North, where there  
Gm7 
is no more  
Dm/E 
town
Am 
North, where there  
Gm7 
were only  
Am 
farms
Am 
Last thing I knew
 
Before this  
Am 
thing 
 
grew
 
This  
Am 
thing 
 
grew
 
I’ll  
Am 
pay for every  
Gmadd9 
hotel
 
And  
Am 
for your attention  
Gmadd9 
too
Am 
Only the full ca
Gmadd9 
tastrophe will  
C#dim7 
do 
 
 
Cm 
 
C-5/F# 
VERSE 4
 
I raked the  
C7b9 
slope on my days for you
 
For in this  
C7b9 
town’s gorging heart you  
Fm6-9 
move
 
You hang your  
Fm6-9/D 
hair
 
Confetti,  
Bbsus4 
black, is  
Bmaj7b5/A# 
strewn
Ab-5/C 
On 
 
me
 
Not  
Ab-5/C 
fondly
 
That curtained  
Adim 
light
 
Must burn all  
Ab 
night
B6sus2 
Shrink from  
Fm6-9 
touch
OUTRO
 
Your legs won’t  
Abm11/C 
rise
 
Nor hidden  
Abm11/C 
eyes
 
I drew a  
Db-5 
scar on my soul for  
Fm6-9 
you
