Emaj7
What ghosts exists behind these attic walls?
B                             Emaj7
There's got to be a simpler explanation
             B
Because I scrimped and I saved
Just to find that they've been
             Emaj7
splicing my inventions

Emaj7          C#m               G#m
Cold skin and bones at this latitude
                                      Emaj7 C#m
We ain't paying 'til the heat comes through
        G#m
So you slept in a stocking cap
A wool scarf and the...

Chorus:
Emaj7        D#7
Promises of payments were
G#m
Upon your shoulders constantly
    Emaj7           D#7
But don't forget to entertain because
G#m                   B
this is your first defense

Four-year offense to the devoted type
I may have got an invitation, but I wasn't invited
But I thought that this meant something more

Than broken hearts and new addictions
We'll leave our sins within the carpet twine
Our bodies will dissolve the chemicals in due time

Chorus:
Promises of payments were
Upon your shoulders constantly
But don't forget to entertain
'Cause this is your first defense
This is your first defense

This is a first defense
This was a first defense
This is my last defense
