Kissing the Lipless
By The Shins
[Intro]
F# C#
F# C#
[Verse 1]
F# C#
Called to see
F# C#
If your back was still aligned
F# C#
And your sheets were growing grass
B C#
All on the corners of your bed
F# C#
But you've got too much to wear
F# C# F#
On your sleeves it has too much to do with me
C# B C#
And secretly I want to bury in the yard
Ebm E F#
The grey remains of a friendship scarred
[Verse 2]
F# C#
You told us of your new life there
F# C#
You got someone coming around
F# C#
Gluing tinsel to your crown
B C#
He's got you talking pretty loud
F# C#
You berate, remember your ailing heart and your criminal eyes
F# C# F#
You say you're still in love
C# B C#
If it's true what can be done
Ebm E F#
It's hard to leave all those moments behind
[Solo]

[Verse 3]

Called to see

The grey remains of a friendship scarred

[Outro]
F# C# B C#
You tested your mettle of doe's skin and petals
F# C# B C#
While kissing the lipless who bleed all the sweetness away
Ebm E B C#
