Chords

[Verse 1]
F
Burn up with the water

F
The floods are on the plains

F
The planets in a rose

F
Who knows what they contain?

F
And my brain is like an orchestra

F
Playing on, insane

F
Will you love me like you loved me in the January rain?
F [Verse 2]
F
Mom and Dad and violins

Bb              F
Somber country silence
The needle stopped the kicking
     C
The clothes pins on the floor

      F
And my heart is playing hide and seek

Bb                 F
Wait and count to four

         C                                  Bb            F
Will you love me like you loved me and I'll never ask for more
[Chorus]
Bb
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
F
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
        C
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
     F
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind

Bb
Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
F
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up the mountain
Bb
With our aching planning
High and smiling Cheap drink Dark and violent
F
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness The sweet asylum
    C
The clay you find is fortified
We felt unfocused fade the line
    F
The sugar rush
The constant hush The pushing of the water gush
    Bb
The marching band
When April ran
    F
May June bugs fly and

        C
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
Bb                             F
Here we go round Mary in your famous story book
[Verse 3]
F
We overcome the sirens

   Bb                   F
We look both left and right

                            C
And I can feel the numbness accompany my plight

    F
And I know that someday soon I'll see you

     Bb                 F
But now you're out of sight

            C                              Bb        F
And you'll kiss me like you used to in the January night
[Chorus]
