Em
Pictures watch from the sidewalk past

Bm
Poems go flying in the drafts

C               B                 Em
All we ever got left is a pile of things

Em
I visit you with nothing burning

C             B7
Hidden heart, stomach churning

C              B              Em
Circled in the words like the vultures
[Chorus]
     C               B7
Your mouth becomes a dictionary

 Em       D      G
Words without a home get weary

C          B               Em
Lonely on their own on the page

C             B7
Look it up to find my heart

Em    D         G
Tear that old shit apart

C                 B               Em
Till you find the words to sum me up
[Interlude] |(Em) | Em | Em | Em | [Bridge]
C*                       Em
   I don't need no lullabies

C*                                Em
   You sit me down here and you cry
[Interlude] |(Em) | Em | Em | Em | Em | [Verse 2]
Em
The music man sings his mystery songs

   Bm
He tries to put his finger on

       C                        B           Em
There's things unfelt that he's always longed to feel

        Em
There's things we all are destined to lose

      Bm
While I seek out that crooked muse

    C                  B                   Em
You stole my heart and filled it up with blues
[Chorus]
C                     B7            Em         D            G
I've been waiting for you and me to watch this world from a window seat

C                         B              Em
Look down there, all them tiny creatures running crazy

    C                      B7
And I've been here on this precipice

    Em        D       G
Await the porter to bring our things

          C                 B                Em
So we can toss our suitcase into the wind at last
[Interlude] |(Em) | Em | Em | Em | [Bridge]
G Em  C             G         D/F#
We've all the merry things we needed

G Em   C               G         D/F#
We've, it's times like this we remember to bleed

       Em           C            G       Em
Let it roll, let it ride, let it ride on me
|(Em) | Em | Em | Em |
C*                            Em
   Lay me down here in your field

C*                             Em
   They know just, what they steal
[Outro] |(Em) | Em | Em | Em | Em
