Taps Reversed

	  		


Intro: 

G    Bm    C    A    D 

G    Bm    A    D 


Verse: 

G         Bm        C      A                  D 
  All the unpaid   bills, wrestling interest rates 

      D    C   G/B                   A      D 
While past due dates wait with their bouti--neers. 

  And the slumping bike,  strangled with a   lock 
that  we   for-got     the      combination to. 
  The     old house drinks everything   we  hide 
And   hums sad songs that  keep  us  up all night. 


Chorus: 

Am/C        G/B        D 
    With the doorknobs loose  
    and the pipes that burst. 
   With the fuses      blown  
    and the taps     reversed. 


Verse: 

The calendar requests a meeting to discuss  
the time we waste, when would be good for you? 
And the sidewalk cracks spell the way back home 
In one uninterrupted palindrome. 
The old house keeps all of our receipts 
In envelopes secured with rubber bands. 

Chorus: 

Oh, the blinking snow  
and the dark dispersed 
With a smeary moon 
With our taps reversed
