F# B C#m B
It was summer when she moved in
G#m C#m E9 B
And it was winter when she moved out again
F# B C#m B
And the sky was usually blue
G#m C#m E9 B
And the single bed was big enough for two
F# B C#m B
It's funny the things that stay with you
G#m C#m E9 B
Her jewellery on the table and the smell of her perfume
F# B C#m B
The candle wax on the carpet, singing in the supermarket
G#m C#m E9 B
And the wall paper in her bedroom
E9 C#m B
I'll never understand how it happened like this
E9 C#m B
I drew an open hand and she drew a fist
E9 C#m B F#
I drew an arrow and a heart, she drew a razor and a wrist
F# B
She said 'I love you when it's sunny'
C#m B
But the sun refused to shine
G#m C#m E9 B
And I was crucified on the clothes line
F# B C#m B
She stole a magazine from the laundromat
G#m C#m E9 B
Did it weigh upon her conscience as it lay upon her lap
E9 C#m B
The body is willing but the mind is weak
E9 C#m B
The champagne is chilling and the wine is cheap
E9 C#m B F#
The milk was always spilling and we cried ourselves to sleep
F# B C#m B
It was summer when she moved in
G#m C#m E9 B
And it was winter when she moved house again
F# B C#m B
The boxes on the floor
G#m C#m E9 B
And the note that she pinned to my door
E9 B
This house is made of sticks
E9 B
This house is made of straw
E9 B
This house is made of bricks
E9 B
This house is made of weatherboard
