Verse 1

I wake up in Antwerp

In some rich woman's bed

There's a man with a hammer

Inside of my head

Verse 2

She says, "I couldn't wake you

I thought you were dead

But you talked in your sleep

I don't know what you said"

Verse 3

I look in the mirror

My eyes bleeding red

There's a taste in my mouth

Of stale brandy and lead

Verse 4

Don't know how I got here

Or if I was led

But I know it's a Sunday

For the bells in my head

Verse 5
E 
As they call  (E major) to the faithful
C#m 
The  (C sharp minor) quick and the dead
G#m

F# 
upon us  (F sharpsus4)  (F sharp major) 
E 
C#m 
And the  (E major) bells on the roof of St. Thomas  (C sharp minor) 
G#m 
Are  (G sharp minor) calling

Verse 6

She says, "are you hungry?

You look underfed"

"No, I'd better be going

I'll have coffee instead"

Verse 7

"Let me give you some money"

I say, "There's no need

You don't owe me nothing

It's what we agreed"

Verse 8

But the room's like a palace

In a book I once read

And the words that I'm thinking

Would be better unsaid

Verse 9

I search for my clothes

Then she asks if I'll stay

"There's a room for you here

My husband's away"

Verse 10

The bells of St. Thomas

Are aching with doubt

They're cracked and they're broken

Like the earth in a drought

Verse 11
E 
I've  (E major) searched for their meaning
C#m 
I just  (C sharp minor) never found out
G#m 
Whatever  (G sharp minor) they're expecting
B 
F# 
from us  (B major)  (F sharp major)

Are  (G sharp minor) crying

though it's  (C sharp minor) empty  (F sharpsus4) by         now

The  (A major) roof like an overturned ship,  (F sharp minor) 
and a prow
A 
F#m

For a pul (A major) pit, and there it is  (F sharp minor) up on the wall  (F sharpsus4)

It's  (C sharp minor) a painting
