Verse 1
G 
No one
Bb 
knows you quite the way that I do
Eb 
G 
C 
No one knows me, not especially you
Bb 
To find a river
G 
and deliver my remains to its loom
Cm 
This I request of you
G 
Bb 
Said a person that I knew from my sleep
Eb 
C 
Savage, I'm free, but I  ain't cheap
Bb 
The thing you ache with has a function
G 
Either beat it or bleed,
Cm 
what could I say to them?
G 
Bb 
Man on fire and he's heading for truth
Eb 
C 
Watched him burning as I sat on the stoop
Bb 
A couple seconds felt like hours
G 
Till I finally moved
Cm 
to beat the flames from him
G 
Bb 
Gm 
Most religion is as far from faith
Eb 
C 
As  the sun is from the shadows it shapes
Bb 
Well, I can hardly say for certain
G 
If I'm trapped or escaped
Cm 
when I'm away from you
G 
When the summer draws the
Bb 
bugs in the house
Gm 
Eb 
And   an acquaintance takes
C 
the form of a spouse
Bb 
Honey, ain't you wildly assed
G 
that Blue Jay needs a tune

Like my mother, she reminds

Ab 
With the ashes on her head
Eb

Dancing drunkly to the radio

G 
Bb 
20 hours and I'm 12  in the hole
Eb 
With thoughts of lightnin'
C 
as a beautiful doll
Bb 
Across the island they are floatin' slow
G 
When lu minous balls inviting
Cm 
me to cross
G 
Started drinking to meet
Bb 
strangers and folks
Eb 
Who'd listen to me,
Bb 
C 
who'd nod when I  spoke
Bb 
But these days when I'm thirsty
G 
I don't mind staying home
Cm 
Drinking away the blues
G 
Bb 
Started smoking to keep up  with my friends
Eb 
Cm 
Eb 
I learn to love the feeling
C 
when I'm breathing it in
Bb 
But I'm a lonely lighthouse
G 
shining by the sea
Cm

Of all the pieces I've combined

Still the cruelest mixture yet

Is the softness of a thawing dawn
And the hardness of regret
