Ds4 is actually Dsus4, and Ds9 is Dsus9.] D D - Dsus4 D Ds9 - D - Dsus4 [intro] D Ds9 - D - Dsus4 D Ds9 - D - Dsus4 [intro] Ds9 - D - Ds4 Ds9 - D - Ds4 There's a sound across the alley Ds9 - D - Ds4 Ds9 - D - Ds4 Of cold metal touching skin D Ds9 - D - Dsus4 D Ds9 - D - Dsus4 And you can see if you look in her window D Ds9 - D - Dsus4 D Ds9 - D - Dsus4 That she has gone and cut her hair again D Ds9 - D - Dsus4 D Ds9 - D - Dsus4 In straight lines D Ds9 - D - Dsus4 D Ds9 - D - Dsus4 Straaaaaight lines Eb F Those soft golden lights in the morning Eb F Are now on her wooden floor Eb F The wind has swept them through the apartment, she won't need them Gm F Eb Dsus4 Anymore, anymore, anymore She's cut down on her lovers Though she still dreams of them at night She's growing straight lines where once were flowers She is streamlined, she is taking the shade down from the light To see the straight lines Straaaaaight lines She wants to cut through the circles That she has lived in before She wants to finally kill the delusions, she won't need them Anymore, anymore, anymore There's a sound across the alley Of cold metal too close to the bone And you can see if you look in her window The face of a woman finally alone Behind straight lines Straaaaaight lines Behind straight lines Straaaaaight lines [End on Dsus4.] - Adam Schneider, schn0170@maroon.tc.umn.edu
