G#               E                  G#   E   G#   E
Someone always leaves that light on
G#                 E                    G#   E   G#   E
I have dreams that little boys burn the house
G#   E         G#         E       G#
Set afire the i-vy in the window pane
E          G#   E
Up from the ground
G#       E
Fire drills unskilled
        G#       E
They're uniformed
     G#          E
Wall paper's warm
     G#          E
Wall paper's warm

B                   A
He's gone up, he's gone up, he's gone up to
 G#     E   G#   E
Lie down
B             A               G#   E   G#   E
I stay and I wait I go quietly
B                     A
And watch the minute hand, how could it be
  G#     E     G#   E
Stolen from you?
B
Cold snap
A            E
Dentalfreeze

verse 2

G#          E              G#   E   G#   E
I hope you weren't offended
G#                    E        G#   E   G#   E
What I said about the mausoleum
G#      E          G#     E       G#
And we live rent-free on loyalist land
       E           G#   E
Better crank the heat

Fire drills...

second chorus:

He's gone up, he's gone up, he's gone up to
Lie down
I stay and I wait at the end of the stairs
And watch the minute hand, how could it be
Stolen from you?
Cold snap
Frigid air
 
verse 3 (I'm not too sure about the lyrics)
 
G#         E
Watch the minute hand
G#     E
How could it be still
G#     E
Little bird is caught
G#     E
In a deep thought
G#            E        G#
I don't wanna seem unkeen
    E        G#
You seem unkeen (last line x4)
