With the [Bm]door closed, shades drawn, the[A] world shrinks.
Let's open[D5] up t[F#]hose b[G]linds. But [A]someone has to sweep the floor,
pick [G]up her dirty c[F#]lothes. That j[A]ob's not mine.
Now that [Bm]everyone's an enemy, my [A]heart sinks.
Let's put [D5]away t[F#]hose [G]claws.
I don't bla[A]me them for their curtains-calls because[G] I pulled the r[F#]ope.
I wanna c[A]all them back out for applause.

Spring and [Bm]Thompson on the first of May is [A]horrible.
We hid in [D5]cata[F#]comb[G]s. So now I'm [A]sleeping next to mousetraps,
in a b[G]ed of all our c[F#]lothes, while I h[A]ope that she won't come home.
It was e[Bm]asier to lock the doors and k[A]ill the phones than to s[D5]how [F#]my s[G]kin,
because the [A]hardest thing is never to r[G]epent for someone[F#] else,
it's l[A]etting people i[Bm]n.      [D]             [Bm]                    [D]                          [Bm]                                 [D]                                        [A]

Well you can c[Bm]ome inside, unlock the door, take [A]off your shoes.
But this might t[D5]ake a[F#]ll ni[G]ght,
to e[A]xplain to you I would have walked o[G]ut those sliding [F#]doors,
but the [A]timing never seemed right.
When your [Bm]helicopter came and tried to l[A]ift me out,
I put its r[D5]ope a[F#]round my [G]neck.
And after [A]that you didn't bother with the a[G]irlift or the r[F#]escue
- you k[A]new just what to expect.

That with the d[Bm]oor closed,
shades drawn, we're[A] dead enough.
They don't o[D5]pen f[F#]rom ou[G]tside.
And s[A]omeone has to speak with their t[G]eeth behind their [F#]tongue,
to never l[A]et that right be denied.
We can't rel[Bm]y on photographs and visit[A]ation time,
but I just d[D5]on't know w[F#]here to b[G]egin.
I wanna b[A]ust down the door,
if you're w[G]illing to for[F#]give.
I've go the k[A]eys, I'm letting people [Bm]in.   [D]        [Bm]              [D]                   [Bm]                         [D]                               [A]

 [Bm]    [D]    [Bm]    [D]    [Bm]    [D]     [A]

Do[G]n't be scared to sp[D]eak,
don't sp[A]eak with someone's tooth,
do[G]n't bargain when you'r[D]e weak,
don't [A]take that sharp abuse.
Some [G]patients can't be [D]saved, but that b[A]urden's not on you.

Don't [G]ever let a[D]nyone t[A]ell you you deserve that. x9

Thanks, Sam
