The Morticians Daughter

[Intro] C  Am  F  G
        C  Am  F  G

C               Am
I open my lungs dear
F                 G           C  Am
I sing this song at funerals, no rush
F                       G               C Am
These lyrics heard a thousand times, just plush
F                  G                 C                   Am
A baby boy you've held so tightly, this pain it visits almost nightly
F         G                      C
Missing hotel beds I feel your touch

C          Am
I will await dear
F               G      C     Am
A patient of eternity, my crush
F            G      C   Am
A universal still, No rust
F               G
No dust will ever grow on this frame
C                       Am
One million years I will say your name
F                   G               C
I love you more than I can ever scream

        C         G
Booked our flight those years ago
    Am                F
I said I love you as I left you
    C              G
'Grets still haunt my hollow head
      Am        F              C
I promised you I will see you again

C               Am
I sit here and smile dear
F                  G              C   Am
I smile because I think of you, I blush
F                   G             C    Am
These bleeding hollow dials, this fuss
F                   G
Fuss is made of miles and travels
C                   Am
When roadways are but stones and gravel
F           G                    C
A bleeding heart can conquer every crutch

( C  G  Em  F )

        C         G
Booked our flight those years ago
      Am               F
You said you loved me as you left me
   C                G
'Grets still haunt your saddened head but
     Am          F
I promised you I will see you
        C         G
Booked our flight those years ago
    Am                  F
I said I loved you and I left you
   C             G
'Grets no longer in my head
      Am                 F            C
But I promised you and now I'm home again

Again, again, again, again, again

I'm home again
