Chords

[Intro] Am E F Dm
Am                E
All the rowboats in the paintings

F                     Dm
They keep trying to row away

Am                 E
And the captains' worried faces

F                    Dm
Stay contorted and staring at the waves

Am                 E
They'll keep hanging in their gold frames

F                 Dm
For forever, forever and a day

Am                E
All the rowboats in the oil paintings

F                     Dm
They keep trying to row away, row away

Am                   E   
Hear them whispering French and German

F               Dm
Dutch, Italian, and Latin

Am                    E
When no one's looking I touch a sculpture

F                 Dm
Marble, cold, and soft as satin

Am                   E
But the most special are the most lonely

F               Dm
God, I pity the violins

Am                E
In glass coffins they keep coughing

F                     Dm
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing, how to sing

Am                         E
First there's lights out, then there's lock up

F                     Dm
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences

Am                   E
It's their own fault for being timeless

F                     Dm
There's a price to pay and a consequence

Am                E
All the galleries, the museums

F                     Dm
Here's your ticket, welcome to the tombs

Am                  E
They're just public mausoleums

F                     Dm
The living dead fill every room

Am                   E
But the most special are the most lonely

F                Dm
God, I pity the violins

Am                E
In glass coffins they keep coughing

F                     Dm
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing

Am                E
They will stay there in their gold frames

F            Dm
For forever, forever and a day

Am                E
All the rowboats in the oil paintings

F                     Dm
They keep trying to row away, row away

Am                        E
First there's lights out, then there's lock up

F                     Dm
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences

Am                   E
It's their own fault for being timeless

F                     Dm
There's a price to pay and a consequence

Am                  E 
All the galleries, the museums

F                     Dm
They will stay there forever and a day

Am                E
All the rowboats in the oil paintings

F                     Dm
They keep trying to row away, row away

Am                E
All the rowboats in the oil paintings

F                     Dm
They keep trying to row away, row away
