Bright Eyes – Bowl Of Oranges (Guitar)

     C                              G
The rain, it started tappin, on the window near my bed

            F                         G
There was a loophole in my dreamin, so I got out of it

       Am                                F
And to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open

      D7                                    G
To my nightstand and my dresser where those nightmares had just been

     C                                 G
So I dressed myself and left them, out into the grey streets

    F                               G
But everything seemed different, completely new to me

    Am                                  F
The sky, the trees, houses, buildings, even my own body

         D7                      G
And each person I encountered, I couldn't wait to meet

      C                         G
And I came upon a doctor, who appeared in quite poor health

               F                                 G
I said there's nothing that I can do for you you can't do for yourself

            Am                               F
He said "Oh yes you can just hold my hand, I think that that would help"

     D7                          G
So I sat with him a while, and I asked him how he felt

           Csus4 C/B Am        Csus4 C/B Am       
He said "I think I'm cured. In fact  I'm sure. 

      Csus4 C/B Am            G
Thank you  stranger, for your therapeutic smile."

          C                              G
So that's how I learned the lesson, that everyone's alone

         F                                    G
And your eyes must do some raining, if you're ever gonna grow

            Am                                                  F
And when cryin don't help, you can't compose yourself it's best to compose a poem

   D7                            G
An honest verse of longing, or a simple song of hope

               C                               G
That's why I'm singin' baby don't worry, cause now I've got you back

          F                                    G
And every time you feel like crying, I'm gonna try and make you laugh

    Am                                               F
And if I can't, if it just hurts too bad, then we'll wait for it to pass

    D7                                 G
And I will keep you company, for those days so long and black

               C                            G
And we'll keep working on the problem, that no one ever solved

          F                                G
Of love's uneven remainders, our lives are fractions of a whole

                 Am                                  F
But if the world could remain within a frame, like a painting on a wall

       D7                                  G
Then I think we'd see the beauty and, we'd stand staring in awe

       Csus4 C/B   Am            Csus4 C/B Am
At our still lives posed, like a bowl  of  oranges

       Csus4 C/B Am      G                  C
Like a sto - ry told, by fault lines in the soil

  G     F     G 
Ooh,  ooh
