this is my first time ever working out the chords by ear – dunno if they’re 100%

all the rowboats in the paintings
G#m Fm

G#m Fm
stay contorted and staring at the waves
Cm Gm

G#m Fm

all the rowboats in the oil paintings
G#m Fm

G#m Fm

G#m Fm
marble , cold , and soft as satin
Cm Gm
but the most special are the most lonely
G#m Fm

Cm Gm

G#m Fm
here’s your ticket , welcome to the tombs
Cm Gm
they’re just public mausoleums
G#m Fm
the living dead fill every room
