[Verse]
If[G] these bare walls could [Em]sing
They would [C]sing us a funeral son[G]g
Push their wooden [Em]words into your mou[C]th
[G]They would not wish to [Em]be
A[C] burden to your to[G]ngue
[G]Would not wish to ca[Em]rry on
[C]Too long
[Chorus]
[Am]With no s[Em]orrow
[G]Ask no [G/F#]greater [Em]pardon
Than the [Am]pattern
Time is [Em]carving in your [C]skin
[Verse]
If [G]these pale bones could [Em]sway
They would [C]march to a funeral s[G]ong
And pull their milky [Em]way across the [C]yard
[G]They would not wish to[Em] keep
You [C]tethered to their [G]arms
[G]They would not wish to c[Em]arry on t[C]oo far
[Chorus]
[Am]With no s[Em]orrow
[G]Ask no [G/F#]greater [Em]pardon
Than the [Am]pattern
Time is [Em]carving in your [C]skin
[Break]
G, Em, C (2x)
[Verse]
Well if [G]I could stretch m[Em]y ears
In[C]to a grand pro[G]cession
[G]And circle 'round your w[Em]isdom
Like a[C] song
[G]I would not wish t[Em]o be
[C]The fire in your b[G]elly
[G]I would not wish for
H[Em]olding you too l[C]ong
[Chorus]
[Am]With no s[Em]orrow
[G]Ask no [G/F#]greater [Em]pardon
Than the [Am]pattern
Time is [Em]carving in your [C]skin
[Outro}
C until the song fades out
If[G] these bare walls could [Em]sing
They would [C]sing us a funeral son[G]g
Push their wooden [Em]words into your mou[C]th
[G]They would not wish to [Em]be
A[C] burden to your to[G]ngue
[G]Would not wish to ca[Em]rry on
[C]Too long
