Verse 1
G 
Em 
G 
Ooooooh...
Em 
G 
Ooooooh...
Ooooooh...
Em 
G 
Oh, you're nightly
C 
letters to yourself
G 
C 
Oh, they serve no worth that you can tell
G 
The silences, the slumming doors
D 
C 
and separate beds
G 
Live on as ghosts inside
C 
the house you've left
G 
Will you still carry them with you?
Cause if there's some kind of rescue
Em 
G 
Then it's time for you to light
up the open fire
Where your father read your stories
C 
G 
while your mother cried herself to sleep
Em 
So you can rip all the pages
G 
of your misery
Em 
And watch them melt away
G 
into what could ever be
C 
And stop bringing them home
G 
Em 
G 
to me
The bricks, the glass, the empty room
C 
G 
C 
They hold more secrets in than truth
G 
You wrap them up with ribbons
D 
cut so carefully
C 
G 
And pass all the waste
Em 
of them to me
G 
Em 
G 
It's time for you to turn off the TV  set
And fill the room with colour
Em 
G 
And you're troubled head
C 
G 
with tangled threads
D 
G 
Em 
So you can let your other fables
G 
and the scripted dreams
Em 
And let them flicker on
G 
C 
in their futile heat
G 
D 
And stop bringing them home to me
G 
Em 
G 
Em 
G 
Em 
G 
Em 
G 
Now it's time for you to
Em 
light up the open fire
G 
We fought the radio stories,
Em 
G 
C 
G 
saw your mother cry herself to sleep
Em 
So you could rip out all the pages
G 
of your misery
Em 
And watch them melt away
G 
C 
into what could have been
And start bringing them
G 
C 
G 
Em 
home to me
G 
You
