(A minor) (F major) (A minor) (G major) (F major) (G major) (F major) (G major) (A minor) (F major)
(A minor) (G major) (F major) (G major) (F major) (G major)
Verse 1
I was on the (D minor) sidewalk,
and (F major) you were in a (G major) dream
You (A minor) said you couldn't stand (E minor) it these days,
your sensitivity
(D minor) The city felt oppressive,
the (F major) heat and the (G major) noise
And (A minor) even at home,
(E minor) you felt every (A minor) un spoken (D minor) voice
I (F major) don't know how, but I tell you,
you'll be (Gsus4) fine
(G major) And I set the (D minor) table and you pour the (Gsus4) wine
(G major) You always have been
Verse 2
(F major) capable,
always have (G major) been kind
(Gsus4) It isn't really (D minor) your fault,
just the (Dsus4) tenor of the (G major) times
You (E minor) got a job and (D minor) lost it,
and they (F major) never told you (Gsus4) why
(G major) And you (A minor) can 't seem to get (E minor) past it,
this ordinary (D minor) lie
And they're (A minor) say ing this sum (D minor) mer
is the (F major) worst it's ever (Gsus4) been
(G major) With the (A minor) radio on (E minor) and
they're talk (D minor) ing
Verse 3
Another (F major) shooting,
foots creeping in the (G major) lowlands
And everybody's (D minor) shouting,
and I just hold your hand (G major)
And then I say (F major) nothing,
I say nothing at (G major) all
I don't (F major) think my voice matter (Gsus4) s really,
after all (G major)
I was (A minor) raised to hear the (F major) curlews,
I was (A minor) raised to notice (G major) light
And I (F major) watch the little (G major) swallows
delic (F major) ate in their flight (G major)
I trail my (A minor) hand down through the
Verse 4
(F major) wa
ter of the famil (A minor) iar river (G major) side
For (F major) hours, in such (G major) silence, I (F major) lay be (G major) side
(F major) Terrified, for knowing in my (G major) time
For all the parts (D minor) per million,
for unstoppable design (G major)
Oh, how can you get (F major) over
knowing all (G major) you know?
All the facts and the figures (Dsus4) you learned (D minor) years (G major) ago (A minor)
Interlude 1
(D minor) (F major) (G major) (A minor) (E minor)

(G major) (D minor) (Dsus4) (G major) (F major) (G major)
(A minor) (D minor) (G major)
I moved (A minor) back to the
Verse 5
(F major) city, I lost (A minor) myself (G major) in you
Or (F major) in some kind of (G major) fiction,
or (F major) in some kind of (G major) truth
I let my (A minor) self get cyn (F major) ical,
I felt (A minor) cold and (G major) bruised
And the (F major) facts never changed, (G major)
and time only moves
And some (F major) where above the tree line,
silent just like (D minor) you
The river never (G major) froze in,
and footsteps break (D minor) through
Verse 6
And somehow in my (F major) heart
Am I supposed to make (D minor) do
with the fragments of the (G major) stars
The blue- white streetlights let (D minor) through?
All the (A minor) birds not (F major) calling, all the (A minor) hot winds (G major) blow
I took your (F major) picture in the sun (G major) set,
smiling (F major) in the shad (G major) ow
You and (A minor) I, we are
Verse 7
(F major) complicit
You and (A minor) I were never (G major) blind
Now, we're (F major) gonna live (G major) with it, our open eyes
