One of the best songs by The Weakerthans. I'm suprised it hasn't been tabbed yet. It's
amazing song with 2 guitars, but still great with only 1. I worked hard on this and I
it's pretty accurate, so please rate it. :)

A5 E5
I count to three and grin.
F#5
You smile and let me in.
D5 A5
We sit and watch the wall you painted purple.
E5
Speech will spill on space.
F#5
Our little cups of grace.
D5 F#5
But pauses rattle on about the way that you cut the snow-fence,
G#5
braved the blood,
A5 D5 F#5 G#5 A5
the metal of those hearts that you always end up pressing your tongue to.
F#5 G#5 A5 D5
How your body still remembers things you told it to forget.
F#5 G#5 A5
How those furious affections followed you.

A5 E5 F#5
I've got this store-bought way of saying I'm okay,
D5 A5
and you learned how to cry in total silence.
E5
We're talented and bright.
F#5
We're lonely and uptight.
D5
We've found some lovely ways to disappoint,
F#5 G#5 A5 D5
but the airport's always almost empty this time of the year,
F#5 G#5 A5
so let's go play on a baggage carousel.
F#5 G#5 A5 D5
Set our watches forward like we're just arriving here
F#5 G#5 A5
from a past we left in a place we knew too well.
Knew too well.
[REPEAT BREAK]
Knew too well.

PREVIOUS A5 RINGS E5
Hold on to the corners of today,
F#5 D5
and we'll fold it up to save until it's needed.
A5 E5 F#5
Stand still. Let me scrub that brackish line that you got

when something rose and then receded.
Hold on.
