Chords

[Verse 1]
    A
I'm blind and afraid

                   D
The colors of this sound like a shape

                       C#m
The feast of words you never could say

              D
And I'm torn apart

       A
In the sun, there is red

                  D
The epitaph of an old record player

                     C#m
The sweetness in the salt of her hair

                 D      D6
And there's no decision
[Interlude] A Dmaj7 A Dmaj7 [Verse 2]
          A
I knew a girl once

                              Dmaj7
There were splinters from her thoughts

                  C#m
Unless you knew a god

                     Dmaj7
With kindness in her heart

         A
You're a dark one

                         D
With a knack for pushing boys off a cliff

                      C#m
And the messy eyes of ink-splattered fits

                        D
And it's all found in a page
[Chorus]
A
I need nothing more than my problems

                                      D
Just let me know when you've found them

A
You've got mirth and I've got snow hands

                                 D
Eyes fell and haven't come up since

C#m  E
Mary

          D
Damn, you scare me

   C#m   E  D
Oh Mary
[Verse 3]
A                    E
I know a place out beyond these pines

                                  D
Where the sky falls down with the cumulus cries

  A                 E
A winter song for a January type
I could tame my heart
        D
I could blind my eyes

    A
The river is an organ

        E
And the meadow is a church
For a strange inclination
     D
That fortune is a curse

      E
I'm a cryptic writer
I'm an ignorant fool
      A
I'm a poor excuse for poetry

D
Trying to play it cool

         Dm
I'm just trying to play it cool
[Bridge]
N.C.                        A
I need nothing more than my problems

                                      Dmaj7
Just let me know when you've found them

A9
You've got tact and I've got bravado

                             Dmaj7
I'm a ghost and you are a shadow

A9
I need nothing more than my problems

                                      Dmaj7
Just let me know when you've found them

A9
You've got mirth and I've got snow hands

                                Dmaj7
Eyes fell and haven't come up since
[Outro]
C#m    E
Mary

          Dmaj7
Dare me, scare me

   C#m   E   Dmaj7   A
Oh Mary
