Verse 1
Esus2
Em
That he'd keep you from harm
C
Em
in the belly of a whale
Esus2
Em
She just blamed it on the ale,
D
Em
that the predatory male
C
Em
were greedy for their food
Esus2
Em
And clum sy with their spoons
C
Em
She'd plummeted to the sun
Esus2
Em
Left gasping in her room
D
Em
And cursing at the moon
G
D
Em
She'd say, oh, Jackie, don't leave me
G
D
Em
Oh, time, don't go
Esus2
Em
Just call it God's will
C
Em
her lonely world would shape
And her belly would ache,
D
Em
what a chance she'd take
G
D
Em
Won't break her of promises,
G
D
Em
can't give her of bruises
B
Em
but you will lose this
G
D
Em
My poor little po et,
G
D
Em
won't you put down your pen
G
D
Em
And her eyes are so eager to please
B
Esus2
But your words,
Gsus4
G
Em
From the books upon his shelf
Esus2
Em
With the fabric of the self
And he'd acted upon
Esus2
Em
But nev er from the heart
D
Em
Didn't think he could start
Esus2
Em
You're uncom fortable to touch
C
Em
You've never had it long
Esus2
Em
Played deaf when it called
D
Em
It just rattles on the wall
G
D
Em
No hungrier love could be
G
D
Em
No bloodier attacks
Well, the more it'll
Esus2
Em
stop behind its tracks
G
D
Em
Oh, torturous beauty
G
D
Em
Can't deal with the heart
G
D
Em
You're both so easy to rattle
B
Em
But don't take your bruises into battle
C
Em
Wailing at the gate
B
Em
In a temporary state
