       Bm7                           F#m             Em                             Bm7
If you remember the sharks tooth you gave me, I will hang it round the throat of my first born baby
        Bm7                        F#m                  Em                    Bm7  
and the weight of the chain on his shoulders, will hang heavier each day that he gets older
     Bm7                    F#m          Em                         Bm7
so I carry my own weight in plaster, and sleep with my lips wrapped round a coat hanger
              Bm7                 F#m      Em                 Bm7
when you were only as good as the picture, fluttering burning stain in my fingers

    Bm7   F#m   Em   Bm7   
and I, I, I, I, I~
Bm7           F#m           Em       Bm7
tried, tried, tried, tried, tried~
   A                          F#m   A    Bm7       F#m       Em    Bm7
to mummify the silence in the room, with you

        Bm7           F#m           Em               Bm7
I lived 86 hours underground though I didn't help to dig the tunnel
         Bm7                F#m               Em                         Bm7
used the time to carve four others, where the tongue and the gum and the bone all hover

    Bm7   F#m   Em   Bm7   
and I, I, I, I, I~
Bm7           F#m           Em       Bm7
tried, tried, tried, tried, tried~
   A                          F#m   A    Bm7       F#m       Em    Bm7
to mummify the silence in the room, with you, you, you, you, you~
      Bm7     F#m     Em    Bm7
tried to, to, to, to, to~
A                          F#m   A    Bm7       F#m       Em    Bm7
mummify the silence in the room, with me

(solo)

Bm7                  F#m         Em                      Bm7
purple flairs and no shoes, in a muddle in the middle of fairview airy
  Bm7                F#m     Em                  Bm7
I wrapped my body in tape, I made my face into a loaf of bread

    Bm7   F#m   Em   Bm7   
and I, I, I, I, I~
Bm7           F#m           Em       Bm7
tried, tried, tried, tried, tried~
   A                          F#m   A    Bm7       F#m       Em    Bm7
to mummify the silence in the room, with you, you, you, you, you~
      Bm7     F#m     Em    Bm7
tried to, to, to, to, to~
A                          F#m   A    Bm7     F#m     Em    Bm7
mummify the silence in the room, with me, me, me, me, me~
Bm7     F#m     Em    Bm7
me, me, me, me, me~
