G              D
Gray Jean was a river child 

Em              Cmaj7           G D Em Cmaj7
Born down by the river wild 

G                D
Said hey, what ya wanna be? 

Em             Cmaj7
Nobody's gonna intervene
G D Em Cmaj7 [Chorus:]
D                Cmaj7
And she wants you but you won't do 

D                      Cmaj7
And it won't leave you alone 

D                  Cmaj7
And the rain falls on the wrong year 

D                     Cmaj7      D                  G     D Em Cmaj7 
And it won't leave you alone, it won't leave you alone 
G D Em Cmaj7 [Verse 2:]
G                 D
Could be that he's into you 

Em              Cmaj7              G D Em Cmaj7
Could be that the obverse is true 

G                D
Struck down as a summer child 

Em               Cmaj7
Ten steps just to run a mile
G D Em Cmaj7 [Chorus:]
D                Cmaj7
And he wants you but you won't do 

D                      Cmaj7
And it won't leave you alone 

D                  Cmaj7
And the rain falls on the wrong year 

D                     Cmaj7      D                  G     D Em 
And it won't leave you alone, it won't leave you alone 

Cmaj7                  G   D Em Cmaj7
It won't leave you alone
[Bridge:]
Bm             Am
Your spirit's weiling 

Bm               Am         
Flesh is getting bored 

Bm        Am               C
Speaker's blaring out some long forgotten chord 

                 D                  G
Some missbegotten long forgotten chord 
D Em Cmaj7 G D Em Cmaj7 [Verse 3:]
G             D
Sing me some eidolon

Em                    Cmaj7           G D Em Cmaj7
And I'll sleep all the winter long 

G               D       
Till then I can only be, 

Em             Cmaj7
nobody's gonna intervene
G D Em Cmaj7 [Chorus:]
D                Cmaj7
And she wants you but you won't do 

D                      Cmaj7
And it won't leave you alone 

D                  Cmaj7
And the rain falls on the wrong year 

D                     Cmaj7      D                  G     D Em  
And it won't leave you alone, it won't leave you alone 

Cmaj7                  G   D Em 
It won't leave you alone

Cmaj7                  G   D Em Cmaj7
It won't leave you alone
G D Em Cmaj7 G
