Piano Keys Under Skin

Intro

Piano keys under my skin

Verse

Chairs stacked in the hallway

Your fingers find mine on a chord chart

Someone's counting what we spend on rent tonight

But I'm still learning how to hold your hand right

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when to play soft

When to let it all go loud

I'll never count what you owe me now

Chorus

We don't need a million dollars under our name

Piano keys are burning inside my skin again

Every note's got a price I'm willing to pay

Nothing feels like this, nothing ever did, not yet

Verse 2

Rent comes due on the first of every month

You're out running numbers that aren't mine to own

But in your sleep you hum it twice as slow

I count each note by how much it cost us to stay

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when to play soft

When to let it all go loud

I'll never count what you owe me now

Chorus

We don't need a million dollars under our name

Piano keys are burning inside my skin again

Every note's got a price I'm willing to pay

Nothing feels like this, nothing ever did, not yet

Bridge

Maybe rich men never write these chords so bold

Maybe a real fortune's the one we're holding now

I don't care who signed that lease at noon today

Just give me three more bars before you disappear

Chorus

We don't need a million dollars under our name

Piano keys are burning inside my skin again

Every note's got a price I'm willing to pay

Nothing feels like this, nothing ever did, not yet
