From their 2009 album 'Sun Gangs'.
Four chord sequence repeats over all parts of the song, although you might want 
to make the C into a C7 sometimes.
F Dm Bb C
FThe house she lived in
Dmis now all we're left with
Bbit'll take a lifetime to Cpay for this
Al the nuns were singin'
and the crowds were immense
all the papers wrote it a different way
Those known desirers
her first admirers
all claimed that they were her favorite
But I know that it was
me alone she loved
though I still have nothing to show for it
FAin't no calling you back
I just want you to kDmnow
I've your voice on my head
and your frame on the wBball
it all went wrong
but I wish you'ld've staCyed with me
love stay with me
Her brother John said
he ain't sure if she's dead
or just hiding somewhere away from him.
We all still remember
that cold December
with you lawn, and blaze, and razor blade drawn
Ain't no calling you back
I just want you to know
I've your voice on my head
and your frame on the wall
it all went wrong
But I wish you'ld've stayed with me
love stay with me
Oh love, when it's cold love
That's when I know love
That's when I know
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Well now it's all gone
I know I'll see you in the flowers
Now it's all done
Yeah I'll lay down there for hours
Now it's all gone
I know I'll see you in the flowers
Oh, honey, won't you come home?
I'd offer my soul
if I thought it might help at all
If I thought it might help at all
and I'd follow you down that road
If I thought it might help at all.
(Now go sing it to strangers.)

F Dm Bb C

The house she lived in

is now all we're left with

Bb C

it'll take a lifetime to pay for this

Al the nuns were singin'

and the crowds were immense

all the papers wrote it a different way

Those known desirers

her first admirers

all claimed that they were her favorite

But I know that it was

me alone she loved

though I still have nothing to show for it

Ain't no calling you back

I just want you to know

I've your voice on my head

and your frame on the wall

it all went wrong

but I wish you'ld've stayed with me

love stay with me

Her brother John said

he ain't sure if she's dead

or just hiding somewhere away from him.

We all still remember

that cold December

with you lawn, and blaze, and razor blade drawn

Ain't no calling you back

I just want you to know

I've your voice on my head

and your frame on the wall

it all went wrong

But I wish you'ld've stayed with me

love stay with me

Oh love, when it's cold love

That's when I know love

That's when I know

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Well now it's all gone

I know I'll see you in the flowers

Now it's all done

Yeah I'll lay down there for hours

Now it's all gone

I know I'll see you in the flowers

Oh, honey, won't you come home?

I'd offer my soul

if I thought it might help at all

If I thought it might help at all

and I'd follow you down that road

If I thought it might help at all.
