Subject: CRD: Tension -- 10,000 Maniacs

Tension - Hope Chest

intro: Am, D

G Bm Am C

Frail hinges pivot on a case's door commemorative

G Bm

souvernirs from places

Am C

containers change with each occasion

(same as above)

cellophane encased displaying paper

certificate credit years of service

a tool of central enterprises

the early hope for permanence

the words the rings consistency

and social security the miracles high tragedy

Am D G

a thought mistaken for a memory

C

dress lengths assassinations

Am D G C Am D

fractured family ties and christenings

(same as first verse)

local posts will list you friends

in order of disappearance lawn scattered

tins feed birds the portion baked

for absent guests the mass edition icon

god send comfort your salvation but who

grants absolution for sins that never

were committed

tension makes a tangle of

eacht thought becomes inconvenience

sound never penetrates the servile

edges break and faint

(same as above)

a thought mistaken for a memory clear

the dust from smiles in boxes pass

the patterned wall recall their voices.

hope this helps someone. please make additions/ corrections if need be.

fantastic if you could add the solo.
