Tabber: Ryan Romero

G Am D G

Laura are you still livin' there on your estate of sorrows?

G Am D G

You used to leave it occasionally but now you don't even bother

G Am D G

to ride the commuter train west to Chicago

G Am D G

to stroll through the greenery in the park past the statues

Bm Em C D

how her eyes seemed to follow you, like a hated addiction

Bm Em C

their beauty carved out of absolutes you could never claim

D

or even envision

G Am D G

Laura you were the saddest song in the shape of a woman

G Am D G

yeah I thought you were beautiful but I wept with your movements

G Am D G

but I hope that you're laughing now from that place on the carpet

G Am D G

where we shared a sleeping bag in your sister's apartment

G Am D G

oh how she would worry so, you know I was just a stranger

G Am G

but she asked me to care for you, yes she did

D

and I went and betrayed her

Bm Em C D

But do you know we're in high demand, Laura, us, people who suffer?

Bm Em C D

because we don't take to arguing and we're quick to surrender.

G Am D G

Well I think I would call tonight if I still had your number

G Am D G

your thoughts have always laid close to mine, and we're both skipping supper.

G Am D G

But you should never be embarrassed by your trouble with living

G Am

'Cause it's the ones with the sorest throats, Laura,

D G

who have done the most singing
