She stares into the mirror
CGD
Youth fading with the sun

The hollows in her face

Like wishing wells

Scarlet as a papercut

And jewelled as the Orion

She'd never worn that jewellery as a girl

Verse 2
D
He stares into the river
CGD
Heart falling to the drift
D
An argument of cars
CGD
Moving full steam behind
D
Blood-shot as a baby
CGD
And sulking like a valley
DCGD
Fishing in reflections, killing time

Bridge
Am
It's the bath that's getting cold while you're frozen to your bed
CG
The milk that's going rancid on the table
Am
The panic in the evening, the photos in the dustbin,
CG
the pointless items we forgot to label
Am
It's the perfume on her wrist, that stinks of easy birthdays
CG
The spare keys like asbestos on the side
Am
It's the cross around his neck, for luck and not for honour
CE
Like diamond over knuckle on a newly married bride
