Transpose
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

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

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
