Verse 2
just to say
They've taken everything (Bdim) away
(Ddim) Every step we made fit into (G sharpdim) six trucks
(A minor) Pick- ups drawing dust
above the driveway
(G major) The muddy
Verse 3
cavalcade came
at half past eight
Collecting everything
(Bdim) in that grassy bank
(Ddim) And every trace of you was taken too
And (A minor) what was once a womb
is just a hollow room
(G major) It was
Verse 4
a windy day
That kind that makes me hate L.A.
(Ddim) 'Cause God gave them
a perfect sun
(A minor) And they think gangs and smog
were hardly a fair (G major) trade
Verse 5
They don't breathe or flinch
Or even blink at how the green will shift
When the wind parades (Ddim)
across the meager ridge
And kicks the weeds a bit (A minor) to make
seem as if the lea is a sea of waves
(G major) They say you
Verse 6
can't cheat death
Maybe it's just a shortness of breath
(D minor) Or no (Ddim) pains in your chest
A dis (A minor) ease we agree that we
ain't cured yet (G major)
Verse 7
Forgive me dear I never (D minor)
thought that we'd end up here
(G major) From (Ddim) ["sweet dreams"] whispered
in your ear
(D minor) Before a (A minor) long night's sleep
so cold and clear (G major)
Verse 8
A sliver of chalk (G major) (Ddim) across
the blue (A minor) (G major)
Lord knows I don't know what the hell's (G sharpdim)
(Ddim) the use of the midday (A minor) moon (G major)
You came to my arms (Ddim) too
goddamn soon (A minor) (F major) (A minor) (G major)
Lord knows I don't know what to do
(Ddim) with you and the (A minor) midday moon
Verse 9
I've been (G major) told that when we die we
pass onto the other side
There's no bright light, (Ddim)
(G sharpdim) no (E major) bright light. (A minor)
(G major) Death is just a pasture gate that
opens by lifting a plank
To just more (D minor) life, (Ddim) (A minor) just more life
Verse 10
I met an (G major) old man, sun- tanned,
provided by Jesus
And the light that passed through
stain glassed pieces
He clutched a (Ddim) rosary flat to his chest
And con (A minor) fessed he wasn't
ready for death
Verse 11
I seen an (G major) iron eyed firefly, femme fatale
Too vain to explain how her hair fell out
Lusting for the (Ddim) next thing to
erase her shame
She doesn't (A minor) want to live forever,
but she's scared to fade away
Verse 12
This (G major) is how they came to me,
one at a time
Pilgrims to my building on the
(Bdim) cemetery ground
(Fdim) All they (Ddim) wanted was an answer
and I could never let 'em down
I couldn't (A minor) promise them forever
Verse 13
but I could buy a lot of time
(G major) You Jeanvieve, you were the straw
Whispering your wishes in cotton Quebeois
I (Ddim) wonder if the Maker ever
felt he botched the flock
But (A minor) never had the mettle
to make the world stop
Stop, (G major) stop, stop, stop, stop,
Verse 14
stop, stop, stop, stop
(G sharpdim) [I wonder if the maker ever felt he botched the
(A minor) flockBut never had the mettle to make the world stop]
(G major) Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop,
Verse 15
stop, stop, stop, stop
(G sharpdim) [I wonder if the maker ever felt he botched
(A minor) the flockBut never had the mettle to make the world (D major) (G major) stop]
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, (Ddim) stop,
(G sharpdim) (A minor) (G major) stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop,
stop, (Ddim) stop, stop
(A minor)
Verse 16
(G major)
A sliver of chalk (Ddim) across
the blue (A minor) (G major)
Lord knows I don't know what the hell's (Ddim)
the use of the (A minor) midday moon (G major)
You came to my arms (Ddim) too
goddamn soon (A minor) (G major)
Lord knows I don't know what to do (Ddim)
with you and the midday (A minor) moon (G major)

A sliver of chalk (G major) (G sharpdim) across (Ddim)
the blue (A minor) (G major)
Lord knows I don't know what the hell's (Ddim)
the use of (A minor) the midday moon (G major)
You came to my arms (Ddim) too
goddamn soon (A minor) (G major)
Lord knows I don't know what to do
(Ddim) with you and the (A minor) midday moon
(G major)
