Pull off the high E string when playing C in the verse, I am unsure what the correct name is for the E chord in the pre-chorus. Verse 1 C Come rebuild your memory with a small mountain of burning leaves Am Em Am And a swinging wire door that slams shut like a guillotine C Strum a note up in the wires Am To send bats down the river, seagulls around spires Em Am And shred all the twilight, scatter it city-wide Pre-Chorus Fmaj7 E* Those average angels Fmaj7 E* The drunken saints with heavy heads Fmaj7 Am F C They can keep dreaming, dreaming of sleep down the end of the bed Chorus C Em9 Am F But nobody's ever gonna break your heart again Verse 2 C And the high-pitched, crooked thoughts C That ricocheted off the walls Am Em Am She just set them down quiet, safe in her dresser drawer C She laid me out on the laundromat floor Am And said "You'll be not nearly who you were anymore Em Am And I'll always be here to remind you what time is for" Pre-Chorus Fmaj7 E* And those average angels Fmaj7 E* The drunken saints with heavy heads Fmaj7 E* You see their spirits are cowering under the table Fmaj7 Am F C And they're still counting, counting the breaths under their breath Chorus C Em9 Am F But nobody's ever X2 C Em9 Am F But nobody's ever gonna break your heart again
