Verse 1
A
Well now on a summer night,

oh in a dusky room
Come a little piece of

D
Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon
A
In his mother's arms it was all

the beauty I could take
A
Like the missing words to some

Oh, in a world so hard and dirty so

and soul, babe,

I put 'em high upon a shelf
A
Right next to the faith,
E
D
the faith that I'd lost in myself
A
I went down into the desert city
D
Just tryin' so hard to shed my skin
A
I crawled deep into some
kind of darkness
E
Lookin' to burn out every
Esus4
trace of who I'd been
E
D
You do some sad, sad things baby

When it's your you 're tryin' to lose

You do some sad and hurtful

Verse 4
A
Well now all that's sure
on the boulevard
D
Is that life is just a house of cards

As fragile as each and every breath
E
Of this boy sleepin' in
Esus4

our bed
A
Tonight let's lie beneath the eaves, babe
D
Just a close band of happy thieves
A
And when that train comes
we'll get on board
E
And steal what we can from the treasures,
treasures of the Lord
D
It's been along long drought baby
A
Tonight the rain's pourin'
down on our roof
