The Mortician's Daughter

	  		
Intro: E5 C#m7 A5 B5 (2x)

( E5 C#m7 A5 B5 ) 
I open my lungs dear, 
I sing this song at funerals... No rush. 
These lyrics heard a thousand times, just plush. 
A baby boy you've held so tightly, this pain it visits almost nightly. 
Missing hotel beds I feel your touch. 

( E5 C#m7 A5 B5 ) 
I will await dear, 
A patient of eternity, my crush. 
A universal still, No rust. 
No dust will ever grow on this frame, 
One million years I will say your name. 
I love you more than I can ever scream. 

( E5 B5 G#7 A5 ) 

( E5 B5 G#7 A5 ) 
Booked our flight those years ago, 
I said I love you as I left you. 
Regrets still haunt my hollow head, 
I promised you I will see you again, again. 

( E5 C#m7 A5 B5 ) 

( E5 C#m7 A5 B5 ) 
I sit here and smile dear, 
I smile because I think of you, I blush. 
These bleeding hollow dials... This fuss. 
A fuss is made of miles and travels when roadways are but stones and gravel. 
A bleeding heart can conquer every crutch. 

( E5 B5 G#7 A5 ) 

( E5 B5 G#7 A5 ) 
We booked our flight those years ago, 
You said you loved me as you left me. 
Regrets still haunt your saddened head but I promised you I will see you. 
We booked our flight those years ago, 
I said I loved you and I left you. 
Regrets no longer in my head, 
But I promised you and now I'm home again, again, again, again, again, again. 
I'm home again.
