Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band – Danny Callahan (Guitar)

A
Green world, love the chloroform

Bm
Front porch in the thunderstorm

D               Bm              A
Controlled chaos, confused energy

A
So stop reading the weather charts

Bm
Stop counting the playing cards

D               Bm              A
There's no system, there's no guarantee

D                           E                   A
That the love you feel and carry inside can be passed

D                                 E             A   F#m
But you try, and all you do is just talk to the past

          Bm            E
Ask how are you getting on alone

A
Some wander the wilderness

Bm
Some drink cosmopolitans

D               Bm              A
Some cold science, some glean astroplanes

A
I can't tell where the canvas stops

Bm
Homesick as an astronaut

D               Bm              A
Just keep drifting, but still can't explain

D                       E                       A
How the love we feel we carry inside can be passed

D                       E                       A   F#m
See a brother in the gutter and reach out your hand

           Bm           E
Ask how are you getting on alone

A
What gauge measures miracles

Bm
Whose heartbeat's electrical

D               Bm              A
We feign sickness with our modern joy

A
But even Western medicine

Bm
It couldn't save Danny Callahan

D               Bm              A
Bad bone marrow, the poor little boy

D                       E                       A
But the love he feels he carries inside can be passed

D                       E                       A    F#m
He lay still, his mother kissed him goodbye, said comeback

        Bm              E
Where are you going to alone

        Bm              E
Where are you going all alone
