Verse 1
Gsus2
Gm
That he'd keep you from harm
Eb
Gm
in the belly of a whale
Gsus2
Gm
She just blamed it on the ale,
F
Gm
that the predatory male
Eb
Gm
were greedy for their food
Gsus2
Gm
And clum sy with their spoons
Eb
Gm
She'd plummeted to the sun
Gsus2
Gm
Left gasping in her room
F
Gm
And cursing at the moon
Bb
F
Gm
She'd say, oh, Jackie, don't leave me
Bb
F
Gm
Oh, time, don't go
Gsus2
Gm
Just call it God's will
Eb
Gm
her lonely world would shape
And her belly would ache,
F
Gm
what a chance she'd take
Bb
F
Gm
Won't break her of promises,
Bb
F
Gm
can't give her of bruises
D
Gm
but you will lose this
Bb
F
Gm
My poor little po et,

And her eyes are so eager to please
D

But your words,
Bbsus4
Bb
Gm
From the books upon his shelf
Gsus2

With the fabric of the self
And he'd acted upon
Gsus2
Gm
But nev er from the heart
F
Gm
Didn't think he could start
Gsus2
Gm
You're uncom fortable to touch
Eb
Gm
You've never had it long
Gsus2
Gm
Played deaf when it called
F
Gm
It just rattles on the wall
Bb
F
Gm
No hungrier love could be
Bb
F
Gm
No bloodier attacks
Well, the more it'll
Gsus2
Gm
stop behind its tracks
Bb
F

Oh, torturous beauty
Bb
F
Gm
Can't deal with the heart
Bb
F
Gm
You're both so easy to rattle
D

But don't take your bruises into battle
Eb
Gm
Wailing at the gate
D
Gm
In a temporary state
