Chords

A great song by a great artist I think he actually plays this with a capo on the fifth fret same chord sounds, just chord shapes in C big baby
Dm
  this is the window where

A7
  i watched the future start

C
  my pupils dilated

Dsus4
  the shock sped up my arms

Bb
  i shut my ambushed eyes

C                                F
  and turned my face towards the heat

Dm
  i felt the city choke

A7
  i heard the world at war

C
  i prayed for providence

Dsus4
  god said, 'don't pray no more

  you went and made your mess

C                            F
  now keep your blame off my feet'

Dm
  so i got off my knees

A7
  i faced the devil's day

C
  the sky was murder red

Dsus4
  the streets were headstone gray

Bb
  a flaming ferris wheel

C                            Bb
  spun where the sun used to be

Bb                    C
i watched its buckets dip and dance

Bb                    C
i saw a couple making love lock hands

          F           C               Bbm               F
they were pushing for abandon and the answers it could bring

A7                        Bb                C         Dm
90 million miles from the graveyard growing over everything

Dm
  i saw my lover chased

A7
  through fields of sugarcane

C
  she clutched her belly close

Dsus4
  and whispered, "keep us safe"

Bb
  they ground her down to dust

C                    F
  no more miracles today

Dm
  i dreamt myself awake

A7  
  in a resort hotel

C
  above a golden coast

Dsus4
  beside my Southern belle

Bb
  we heard the sea reborn

C                 F
  in each singing shell

Dm
  and every coughing car

A7
  and every coiled snake

C
  and every shrieking star

Dsus4
  and every burning stake

Bb
  dissolved to atmosphere

C                     Bb
  all of everything, erased

Bb              C
i spread into a distant hum

Bb                  C
i droned along with everyone

        F                    C                 Bbm              F
and the earth grew green and nursed herself to what she used to be

A7                                   Bb           C           F  C  A7
all our senseless shouting calmed to quiet in her ancient memory

    Dm          Bb C
and oh!, what a joy,

      F    C
to be free.
