Intro: G  C (4x) 

G           C 
I woke you up 
D               C 
With poetry and stones 
G                  C 
The ragged and the bones 
D                 C 
Strewn around the room 

G  C (2x) 

I recall 
Another hazy may 
Take a round in the ring 
Gone hungry for the wind 

G  C (2x) 

C                                    G 
Here’s the part I just lose everything 
C                                         G 
And I cracked a spark just to hear you sing 
C       D      C 
Sing 

G  C (4x) 

G         C 
I took it out 
D                  C 
The papers and the trash 
G              C 
Old among the cans 
D                     C 
This golden love gone bad 
G         C 
Shined it up 
D             C 
Aiming at the Sun 
       G               C 
Just a light year from us 
      D                  C 
Hop a cab ride and we’re off 

G  C (2x) 

C                            G 
All the ravens came along to play 
C                                   G 
The simple notes you sang just went astray 
C      D     C 
Astray 

G              C               D 
Everything was up, it’s coming down 
G              C               D 
Everything was up, it’s coming down 
C 
Coming down
