Room By Room

       Am                        Dm
If the keys in my hand turned a lock of your hair
        Dm             F            E           Am
I would walk through a glance and I’d stop at the stare
         Am                    Dm
Then I’d follow it down to the very last step
        Dm          F              E          Am
And I’d wait by the room where your secrets are kept

        C E Dm Am C E Am
Singing mm, mm, mm

       Am                     Dm
If you beckoned me in I would hang my black hat
     Dm        F          E         Am
on a bottle of pain by your hurricane lamp
         Am                           Dm
Then I’d search every shelf with that flame as my guide
        Dm         F         E       Am
and I’d burn every book with a villain inside

        C E Dm Am C E Am
Singing mm, mm, mm

         F               E           Dm        Am
Then I’d march through the door to you parlor of need
          F          E                Am         C
Where the glass on the floor would make weaker men bleed
        F          E                 Dm        Am
But the weight of my words would turn slivers to dust
         F         F       E         E
And I’ll pace for as long as I live If I must

     Am                     Dm
Then I tip toe outside, I’d admire the hedge
        Dm            F          E        Am
And I’d climb up your walls to the very top ledge
         Am                       Dm
Then I’d pause for a time and I’d look at your world
        Dm        F         E           Am
And I’d fashion a rhyme for a lost little girl

        C E Dm Am C E Am F E Dm Am F E  Am
Singing mm, mm, mm
