[instrumental]
VERSE TWO
[same as 1st verse]
3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
was where we learned to celebrate
automatic bought the years you’d talk for me
that night you played me ʻLip Paradeʼ
not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
saying nothing, that’s enough for me
CHORUS
F * * F (1 count) [total of 7 counts]
…and at once I knew I was not magnificent
[from here on, same as above]
hulled far from the highway aisle
(jagged, vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles
Hold C indefinitely
[instrumental]

C * Am * * *
Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
Gadd6add4 * * *
[instrumental]
[ch]Cadd2/G[/ch] * * *
above my brother, I and tangled spines
C * Am [ch]Cadd2/G[/ch] * * *
we smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
Am F * * *
now to know it in my memory:
CHORUS
[same as above]
…and at once I knew I was not… magnificent
high above the highway aisle
Am * G * * *
[slightly longer instrumental, note: Am is two beats longer than previous choruses]
(jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles
[end]
