Verse 
G        C              Em 
We saw a tale of deadly sins, 
G           C               Em 
Now I'm not sure where to begin, 
G              C            Em 
Cause when the parents are away, 
                                   G 
the kids push boundaries when they play, 
  C          Em 
Indelibly on skin, 
G          C               Em 
I meant to send a get-well card, 
G           C             Em 
But writing it became too hard, 
G        C                  Em 
And so I stayed with you at your place, 
                       G 
much too scared to be alone, 
     C                 Em 
Your frightened counterpart.

Tracy Mills she got cut down in her prime, 
            C                       Em 
But it’s so clear to me that we are not the grieving kind, 
             C                              Em 
Cause almost nothing fits the formula, too ragged at the seams, 
           C                                   G 
And oh the thought of it still haunts me in my dreams,

Verse 
G          C              Em 
I spent an evening with a boy, 
G            C           Em 
My favourite figurine destroyed, 
G          C              Em 
But in the passion of the moment I just laughed and carried on, 
G        C             Em 
A stupid broken little toy, 
G         C              Em 
It didn’t matter much to me, 
G        C               Em 
I was so high I couldn’t see, 
G          C                Em 
But when I woke up the next day, 
         G                   C      Em            C 
I had to hide the tears from him as I wiped them away

But it’s so clear to me that we are not the grieving kind, 
             C                              Em 
Cause almost nothing fits the formula, too ragged at the seams, 
           C 
And oh the thought of it still haunts me, 
      Em 
in my nightmares, in my dreams 
          C 
and in my nightmares, in my dreams 
          Em 
and in my nightmares, in my dreams 
          C 
and in my nightmares, in my dreams
