We Are The Emergency - All We Ever See Of Stars Are Their Old Photographs

            Bb           Dm
The redness of his face permits
              Bb                 Dm
The truth his words won't dare admit
           Bb                             
His sunken eyes are hid behind a darkened lens

 
Dm     Bb                    F
Broken doors and thoughtless words
                   C
The tyre tracks on her dead lawn
Dm      Bb                  F
Feeble threats and loveless debts
              C                    Dm   
Prove nothing when she steals your breath
 

Bb
She stands tall with strength not height
    Dm
You see the fists inside her eyes
Bb
Now it's time for her revenge,
   Dm
Delivered acid tongue God pity help him
Bb                      Dm
She's there in the aftermath
       Bb                      Dm        Bb
As the cars are driving slowly past

 
Dm     Bb                    F
Broken doors and thoughtless words
                   C
The tyre tracks on her dead lawn
Dm      Bb                  F
Feeble threats and loveless debts
              C                      Bb
Prove nothing when she steals your breath
 

Bb                    C
She sits there in the aftermath
    Dm                    F
And listens as cars drive slowly past
Bb         C
His final show, his lies
           Dm                       Dm  C
Have done nothing but cure her smile
             Bb       C
Her bruises fade from black to blue
Dm              F
Over time, they slowly heal
                  Bb           C
You think you've grown, found love again
                    Dm                 Dm  C
When you break your own heart, it will never mend
 

Dm     Bb                    F
Broken doors and thoughtless words
                   C
The tyre tracks on her dead lawn
Dm      Bb                  F
Feeble threats and loveless debts
              C                    Dm   
Prove nothing when she steals your breath
