Paper Hanger Chords

(ver. 1)
Mewithoutyou
Introduction.

B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, D, A.

First Verse.

B
Not one motion of her gesture could I forget
                                 D
The prettiest bag lady I ever met
A           B
Pushing her cart in the rain

Then gathering plastic and glass

She watched the day pass
               D
Not hour by hour
A               B
But pain by pain

If I was a basket filled with holes

Then she was the sand I tried to hold
                    D
And ran out behind me
          A                        
As I swung with some invisible hands

D                                    A
I stopped believing, you start to move
D                                           A
I stopped my leaving and the better man bloomed

First Chorus.
B, E, A (D if you want)  x4

Second Verse.
B
If you're still looking for a blanket

Sweetie, I'm sorry, I'm no sort of fabric
                       D
But if you need a tailor
A              B
Then take your torn shirt, and stumble up my stairs

And mumble your pitiful prayers
                                  D         A                     B    
And in your tangled, knotted sleep, our midnight needles go to work

Until all comfort and fear flows in one river
                                                           D
Down on the shelf by the mirror where you see yourself whole
A                    
And it makes you shiver

D                                    A
I stopped believing, you start to move
D                                           A
I stopped my leaving and the better man bloomed

Second Chorus.
B, E, A (D if you want)  x8

Ending.
E, E, E, E, E, E, feedback  x4
E, E, E, E, E, E, A, A, B   x6
E, E, E, E, E, E, A
E, E, E, E, E, E!

mewithoutYou's is, in my opinion, the best Muslim alt band. 
This song's been out since 04, and there still weren't any
chords for it online, so here you go. A tab would be better
for certain parts of this song, but I didn't feel like going 
like ------------------- for 20 min, so you're just going to
have to deal with this. If you have any corrections, just make
Sufi bands, in which case, email away!
