Gm                                   Fm
I think of tears, I think of rain on shingles

I think of rain, I think of roses blue

  B                                 Bm
I think of Rose, my heart begins to tremble

   Bm                                Cm
To see the place she's lately gotten to

       Em         Dm
Gotten to, gotten to
[Verse 2]

She's gotten to mysterious devotions

She's gotten to the zodiac and Zen

      B                           Bm
She's gotten into tarot cards and potions

      Bm                         Cm
She's laying her religion on her friends

       Em              Dm
On her friends, on her friends
[Verse 3]
Gm                                    Fm
Friends who come to ask her for their future

Fm                                     B
Friends who come to find they can't be friends

           B                            Bm
Because of signs and seasons that don't suit her

       Bm                                 Cm
She'll prophesy your death, she won't say when

          Em              Dm
Won't say when, won't say when
[Verse 4]
Gm                                       Fm
When all the black cards come you cannot barter

Fm                                             B
No, when all your stars are stacked you cannot win

       B                                   Bm
She'll shake her head and treat you like a martyr

   Bm                                 Cm
It is her blackest spell she puts you in

         Em           Dm
Puts you in, puts you in
[Verse 5]
   Gm                                Fm
In sorrow she can lure you where she wants you

            Fm                      B
Inside your own self-pity there you swim

   B                                     Bm
In sinking down to drown her voice still haunts you

    Bm                              Cm
And only with your laughter can you win

        Em           Dm
Can you win, can you win
[Verse 6]
    Gm                                Fm
You win the lasting laurels with your laughter

   Fm                             B
It reaches like an arm before you sink

   B                             Bm
To win the solitary truth you're after

    Bm                                Cm
You dare not ask the priestess how to think

       Em            Dm          N.C.
How to think, how to think
[Verse 7]
  Gm                                 Fm
I think of tears, I think of rain on shingles

  Fm                              B
I think of rain, I think of roses blue

  B                                 Bm
I think of Rose, my heart begins to tremble

   Bm                                Cm
To see the place she's lately gotten to

       Em         Dm
Gotten to, gotten to to to to to, to to to to to to to

Gm
