Chords

[Verse 1]
       C                          Csus4
If you lived in the shadow of the mountain

          G                            C
Would you notice when the mountain was gone

       Am                      Csus4
If you played in the sparkling fountain

          G                     C
Would the drought seem twice as long

      Am                                      Em
If at night you slept with strangers in their houses

           Csus4                    Fm
And in the morning sang a traveling song

          C                 G                       Csus4
Would you feel a little bit stronger when they were gone
[Verse 2]
    C                        Csus4
She sang to me the rhythm of autumn

       G                     C
It was there that I found my space

       Am                     Csus4
In the search for the perfect Madonna

            G                 C
To bear the burden of amazing grace

  Am                     Em
I found her as a topless dancer

Csus4                Fm
Making a mess of the place

            C                         G
She took no questions and she gave no answers

         Csus4
She just sang
[Chorus]
C    Csus4
Hold tight

G                            C
Don’t leave the light on for me

        Am     Csus4
Because I just might

G                       C
Cut myself loose and go free

  C/B      Am              G         C
I hope you see the topless dancer in me
[Verse 3]
  C                              Csus4
I learned to ask the Lord for forgiveness

  G                           C
Before I learned to forgive myself

     Am                    Csus4
So I wore myself thin as a window

            G               C
And hung my trophies from a shelf

       Am                            Em
When I woke up in the morning from a good good dream

           Csus4                 Fm
I felt the burden of unspeakable guilt

             C                         G
I washed the milky white stain from my bed sheets

                 Csus4
And I prayed for help
[Outro]
          C
So to the priests and the prophets

            Csus4
Who say our bodies are godless

   G                               C
Oh tell me what the hell does that mean

  C/B      Am
I hope you see

           G
I hope you see

           Csus4           G         C
I hope you see the topless dancer in me
