[Verse 1]
D A
There are no chipped stones
D G A A
In your cemetary smile
D A D
Your mouth doesn't dare to shake the graves
G A A
That bury it in military style
Em A D G
But I noticed there was more in there
Em A D G
In that mouth that held so much cold air
Em A D G A
Words as forgotten as what wasn't meant for here
[Verse 2]
D A D
You must have learned how to talk
G A A
from looking at the vases
D A
You know the ones with cracked Greek masks
D G A A
Roman faces and heroes counting their graces
Em A D G
You know the kind with frozen lines
Em A D G
And edges as sharp as your sour whine
Em A D G A A
I really mean your voice, but that doesn't rhyme
[Bridge] Em in second line is a bit late
D A D G A A
D A D G A Em
Em A D G
What were you trying to say to me?
Em A D G
Words as dead as the salt sea
Em A D G A A
Spoken from the nineteenth century, you see
D D A G
D A D G A A
D A D G A A
[Verse 3]
D A
It started off from the east
D G A A
And worked its way into my ear
D A D
And everything that I understood
G A
I really didn't hear
Em A D G
Were the words spoken by a ghost?
Em A D G
A fossilized Turkish tearoom host?
Em A D G
Or maybe someone from an Anatolian coast?
