Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch
So Miss Bottom of the Hill what do you want?
ch]G[/ch
The sun is shinin' and your lovers always lose you in the dark
ch]Bm[/ch
And they were all chosen to remember how the sparrows hit the window
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
That you closed to keep the cat out in the yard
ch]D[/ch
And like your body bein' dragged behind the moon
You bring a memory of your mother like the money in your shoe
ch]Bm[/ch
And how her penetratin' wisdom, her bulletproof religion
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Always rip you like a wool off of the loom
ch]D[/ch
You floated farther than you ever meant to go
And only now see you are naked when the wind began to blow
There's no advice that you've been missin'
ch]Bm[/ch
No trespass unforgiven
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Just a river with no pity for your boat
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I've come to know that I was stealin' all your kisses on the evenin'
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
The dogs were loose and lyin' on the street
ch]G[/ch
You've learned to blend into the choir
ch]A[/ch
How to hold your hand in fire
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
And what to say instead of what you mean
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But the trouble it saves for just how hard it can be
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch
You met the women gluin' jewels onto a crown
ch]G[/ch
You know men hidin' in the city and their way of bein' found
ch]D[/ch
And you got nothin' on your shoulders
ch]Bm[/ch
Still there's nothin' too much colder
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Than a rubble of a house that's fallin' down
ch]D[/ch
Like a baby cryin 'til it fal ls asleep
ch]G[/ch
The autumn's over by the time you count the color of the leaves
ch]G[/ch
You're paintin' buzzards on the ceilin'
ch]Bm[/ch
Fallin' faithless at the healin'
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
With your friends around you wailin on their knees
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And I've come to know that I was stealin' all your kisses on the evenin'
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
The fog had swallowed everything but us
ch]G[/ch
You've learned to balance on the cable
ch]A[/ch
Drink us all under the table
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
And who to try instead of who you trust
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
With a hand on your heart that threw you under the bus
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch
So Miss Bottom of the Hill, what do you want?
ch]G[/ch
The sun is shinin' and you cleaned your pretty pistol of a heart
ch]D[/ch
But when you talk about tomorrow
ch]Bm[/ch
When to beg and when to borrow
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Is how to hit the ground before you hear the shot
ch]D[/ch
And like a fish too deep and driftin' in the sea
ch]G[/ch
You've grown accustomed to the blindness lookin' up and anxiously
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
But there's a stone inside your pocket while you're plowin' through the market
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But you know even the time it takes ain't free
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I've come to know that I was stealin' all your kisses on the evenin'
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
The stars were barely hangin' in the sky
ch]G[/ch
You've learned to eat when you're not hungry
ch]A[/ch
How to laugh when nothin's funny
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
And what to get instead of gettin' by
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But oh, how it changes with the passin' of time
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch
You heard so many voices hidden in the wind
ch]G[/ch
See all the children of the world and how its fingers reach for them
ch]D[/ch
Two branches tired of their bendin'
ch]Bm[/ch
I don't see our story endin'
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Quite as clean as it was easy to begin
ch]D[/ch
Like a hole that let the fox under the fence
ch]G[/ch
You've got no solace and no sanctuary you can recommend
ch]D[/ch
Beggin' for mercy at the bedside
ch]Bm[/ch
We got frozen in the headlights
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But our kind of mercy never made much sense
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I've come to know that I was stealin' all your kisses on the evenin'
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
But both were disappearin' in the waves
ch]G[/ch
You've learned to lead the one you follow
ch]A[/ch
How to spit out what you swallow
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
And when to hand instead of give away
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Fm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
That secret of ours is one I'll take to the grave
Verse 5→ Phiên khúc
ch]E[/ch
So Miss Bottom of the Hill what do you want?
ch]A[/ch
The sun is shinin' and I think you want me more often than not
ch]E[/ch
But like your father in the garden
ch]C#m[/ch
I won't finish what I started
ch]A[/ch] [ch]B[/ch
'Til you bill me for the flowers I forgot
ch]E[/ch
And like a curse too old for anyone to care
ch]A[/ch
You said to meet you on the mountain cause you never make it there
ch]E[/ch
And sucked your thumb along the highway
ch]C#m[/ch
Proudly promisin' that one day
ch]A[/ch] [ch]B[/ch
I'd miss the way we tumbled down the stairs
ch]A[/ch] [ch]B[/ch
And I've come to know that I was stealin' all your kisses on the evenin'
ch]E[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
The car was gently glidin' off the road
ch]A[/ch
You've learned to rise above your body
ch]B[/ch
How to never say you're sorry
ch]E[/ch] [ch]C#m[/ch
And where to go instead of going home
ch]A[/ch] [ch]B[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
With th e light by the bed and all the clothes you've outgrown
