INTRO (Accapella)
There’s no moral to this,
No parable despite the kiss,
No tale, Oh, it’s a sad thing,
As we still our chins to stone and suffering.
BREAK Am C G Dm 1X

There’s no moral to this, Am C
No parable despite the kiss, G Dm
No tale, Oh, it’s a sad thing, Am C
As we still our chins to stone and suffering. G Dm
E Am G F
Indeed and very indeed. We might have made
Some proper pair of candlesticks displayed
Atop a mantle in a house with lust and laughter. Dm (Stop)
We won’t, of course. There is no ever after.
BREAK Am C G Dm 2x
VERSE 1
Winter fastens to our spines C
Like drunkenness to wine. G
Love, love. Dm Love, love. F
Your hands are plain as air. C
In their starkness, stiff, impaired. G
Love, love. Dm Love, love. F
There is no ever after.
REFRAIN REPEAT 1st Part
VERSE 2
Answer in want of a question, C
Lubricant lacking in its friction. G
Love, love. Dm Love, love. F
Sin san Christian who’ll confess it. C
Skirt with no girl to undress from it. G
Love, love. Dm Love, love. F
There is no ever after.
