D
Love descended in the water
F C
In the breaking of the mother-daughter
D
Father-son and lines of genes
C G
Rip and crease and keep things clean
D
In the teeth and in the tether
F C
In the backwards-beating weather
D
To the endpoint, to the hollow
C G
Two loves' labours lost in colour
[Hook]
G D G D
Lost in dreams and crumpled pride
G D G Bm G D
The night my piano upped and died, died, died
[Verse 2]
D
Love came down for many years
F C
And lost her teeth with raindrop tears
D
Swelled her woodwork, pushed her pedals
C G
She went home without a medal
D
She went down down, all the way
F C
Now she plays an alleway
D
Now she cuts her shape with debt
C G
And now she's past it, past her best
[Hook]
G D G D
Lost in dreams and crumpled pride
G D G Bm G D
The night my piano upped and died, died, died
[Verse 3]
D
Now she's past and all alone
F C
She laughs a drainpipe down the phone
D
Somewhere in the distant nether
C G
I can hear her off the tether
D
Off the hook of ones and twos
F C
Now she really sings the blues
D
Now she dances at a mess
C G
Now she has her idle guys
[Hook]
G D G D
Lost in dreams and crumpled pride
G D G Bm G D
The night my piano upped and died, died, died
