[Verse 1]
                                                 C    G
There's a picture of Jesus lying in his mother's arms

                                                C   G
Shuttered windows, cars humming on the €…street €…below

                                                  C
The fountain throbbed €…in the lobby of the Grand Hotel

                            G                C G
We checked into room thirty-three, well well

                             C   G
You were a runaway flake of snow

                                                  C G
You were skinny and white as a wafer, yeah I know

                                                   C
Sitting on the edge of the bed clicking your shoes

                                G         C G
I slid my little songs out from under you
[Chorus]
                         C      G
And we all rose from our wonder

                       C
We would never admit defeat

       G                        C
And we leaned out of the window

           G                   C              G C
As the rain fell on the street, on the street
G C G C G C G [Verse 2]
                                      C          G
They were just a sigh released from a dying star

                                         C    G
They were runaway flakes of snow, yeah I know

                                          C
They annexed your insides in a late night raid

                                             G
We sent down for drinks and something to eat

                                                 C G
The cars humming in the rain on the street below

                                              C   G
A fountain throbs in the lobby of the Grand Hotel

                                        C    G
The spurting font of creativity, yeah I know

                                               C
Your head in a pool of your own streaming hair

                                     G
And Jesus lying in his mother's arms

                        C       G
Just so up on the wall, just so
[Chorus]
                            C      G
And we all rose up from our wonder

                       C
We would never admit defeat

       G                        C
And we leaned out of the window

                G                   C              G C
And watched the horses in the street, in the street

                      G     C G
In room thirty-three, yeah

             C G C
Yeah, I know
G C G C G
