G Bm
We drained every night
G Bm
In the lower East Side
G Bm G Bm
And you failed to catch the train back to Queens
G Bm
So you came to my room
G Bm
We did some things that we knew not to do
G Bm G Bm
In the glow of the nights golden hue
Chorus
C D
You've got a tattered line of string
Em G
That you've tied 'round everything
C D
That you want to call your own
Em G
But it never seems to hold
Verse II
G Bm
When we woke we agreed
G Bm
That we would not ever speak
G Bm G Bm
Of this night to anyone that we both knew
G Bm
And you said, "Every time we kiss
G Bm
I felt something that could not exist"
G Bm G Bm
And I confessed that I thought that I felt it too
Chorus
C D
You've got a tattered line of string
Em G
That you've tied 'round everything
C Bm
That you want to call your own
D G
But it never seems to hold
Break

Chorus
C D
You've got a tattered line of string
Em G

That you want to call your own

But it never seems to hold
