[Verse 1]
Am         G           F        C  Cmaj7
You were a phonograph, I was a kid

  Am          G               F        C Cmaj7
I sat with an ear close just listening

      Am             G               F             C Cmaj7
I was there when the rain tapped her way down your face

           Am       G          F            C Cmaj7
You were a miracle, I was just holdin' your space
[Verse 2]
      Am         G                  F           C Cmaj7
Well, time has a way of throwing it all in your face

    Am           G             F         C Cmaj7
The past she is haunted, the future is laced

Am             G              F         C Cmaj7
Heartbreak ya know drives a big black car

     Am            G               F          C Cmaj7
Swear I was in the back seat just minding my own
[Chorus]
    G                                               C
And through the glass the corn crows come like rain

            G                  Am
They won't stay, they won't stay for

G           C
Too long now

              G           Am
This could be all that we know

    D
Of love and all
[Verse 3]
Am               G        F       C Cmaj7
Well, you were a dancer, I was a rag

    Am         G               F          C Cmaj7
The song in my head well, was all that I had

Am         G          Fm        C Cmaj7
Hope was a letter I never could send

Am         G          F          C Cmaj7
Love was a country we couldn't defend

G                      Am                 C          G
And through the carnival we watch them go round and round

               Am              C                G
All we knew of home was just a sunset and some clowns ohhhhhhh
[Verse 4]
      Am         G          F             C Cmaj7
Well, you were a magazine, I was a plain Jane

     Am          G             F          C Cmaj7
Just walking the sidewalks all covered in rain

Am           G        F           C Cmaj7
Love to just get into one of your stories

     Am         G     F          C Cmaj7
Just me and all of my plain Jane glory
