Radical Face - Sisters: chords

G#m           F#             B
I tied your shoes while you sat and watched
     E  F#
the rain
      G#m                 F#
Hands folded across your lap,
          B           F#                E  F#
and the dull look of peace across your face
 G#m          F#          B              E  F#
Mom down the hall Bible pressed to her chest
         G#m                      F#
When she swore the Devil hides in everything,
         B           F#               E
and her room was the only safe haven left
                F#                  B
She watched us grow through window panes

Chorus:
 E
Something in the middle
Something in the middle
Something in the middle
 F#
Something's in the way
G#m          F#             B             F#
You held my hand while the wind whistled nocturnes
in the dark
 E
Something in the middle
 E
Something in the middle
 E
Something in the middle
 F#
Something's in the way
      G#m           F#           B
Never knew what it meant to be whole and free
 E
Something in the middle
 E
Something in the middle
 E
Something in the middle
 F#
Something's in the way
G#m                  F#           B
Neither one of them mocks if we steer from paths
F#             E
only they can see
             F#                 B
But sink or swim is all they'd say

Your hand rode the wind out the window of the train
We slept in our seats with our knees curled
beneath our dirty chins
Dad gripped the bags like they might fly away
And the scenery beyond the glass was liquid,
we sat and soaked it in
I felt your breath along the way

I'd hold your hand when the sky fell apart
And you'd hold my hand if you felt me
slipping back into the dark
Can't tell from the ground if
the sky will fall
Can't tell from the sky if
there's anybody down there at all
It's empty hands and empty plates
