Chords: Bm > C#
Words:

lost the scent in the fur of your neck
picked it up again at drinks on the deck
I wondered how our spirits get out
‘til I saw our skins hanging in the marquee
load the bricks through the hole in the lawn
scatter ash out silver salad bowls
do you think the path of the hero was lit
by a phone on a stick flickering
or moon on our lips

first got stuck in the pace of the time
second one ran out underneath the tyres
and the third one listened to everybody else
and the fourth got bored only liking love
singing

we never thought about it much
I remember now 
did you use your whole heart 
for a little while
and if the treasure isn’t seen
the shovel works 
the monument was nothing to believe

we can have a house that’s bigger than we need
I can see the woods if we turn out the light
people saving up wonder what it means
something between them and the outside
you can choose the colours I can trap the meat
you say the things that only I can think
people holding hands wonder what it means
something between them and the outside

now that no one is listening 
we pause at the sight of the scene, our theme
she lifted up her drink and said
‘this must be the place in the dream, but I guess
I’m already there and now there’s nothin’ next’
singing

we never thought about it much
I remember this
did you use your whole heart
was there more to it?
and if the treasure isn’t seen
then we’ll keep the tape
we make mistakes for authenticity

now I know all the towers rising through the trees
‘we can see you’ they say, ‘always seeing we
and we’ll always be here reminiscing
about your body missing
about you bodies missing’

we can have a house that’s bigger than we need
I can see the woods if we turn out the light
people saving up wonder what it means
something between them and the outside
you can choose the colours I can trap the meat
you say the things that only I can think
people holding hands wonder what it means
something between them and the outside
