Your Life As A Piano

Capo 1 F Am Once there was a building Bb In the city where we lived F Am It was marked for demolition Bb Some planners wanted it C To fall into it's own footprint Bb So there's poetry I guess Dm C In all this ruin F Am You were born down at a factory Bb Viennese & true F Am warped with years and weather Bb Like the hands that danced on you C Of city boys who played you Bb 'til your keys were black and blue Dm C And city girls who'd break your heart Am Dm But oh to be the sound Bb Ringing in their ears C Bandaging their hearts F Bandaging their hearts F Am We threw you from the window Bb Of a prehistoric floor F Am For what was coming up at you Bb The quiet struck the loudest chord C To be the one piano Bb In a theatre of horns Dm C Just does things to you F Am And your wooden keys were broken Bb The hammers wrapped in felt F Am Were busted and I'm praying Bb Somewhere out there someone's built C An instrument so sensitive Bb It registers the swells Dm C and it records that you were here Am Dm But oh to be the sound Bb Ringing in their ears C Bandaging their hearts Am Dm Oh to be the sound Bb A tourniquet for tears C Bandaging their hearts F Bandaging our hearts Bb Bandaging our hearts F Bandaging our hearts Bb Bandaging our hearts C Bandaging our hearts Bb Bandaging our hearts F Bandaging our hearts Bb Bandaging our hearts C Bandaging our hearts
