Verse
G
Burn up with the water
G
The floods are on the plains
G
The planets in a rose
G
Who knows what they contain?
G
And my brain is like an orchestra
G
Playing on, insane
G
Will you love me like you loved me in the January rain?
G
[Verse 2]
G
Mom and Dad and violins
C G
Somber country silence
The needle stopped the kicking
D
The clothes pins on the floor
G
And my heart is playing hide and seek
C G
Wait and count to four
D C G
Will you love me like you loved me and I'll never ask for more
[Chorus]
C
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
G
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
D
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
G
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
C
Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
G
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up the mountain
C
With our aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
G
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweet asylum
D
The clay you find is fortified
We felt unfocused fade the line
G
The sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
C
The marching band
When April ran
G
May June bugs fly and
D
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
C G
Here we go round Mary in your famous story book
[Verse 3]
G
We overcome the sirens
C G
We look both left and right
D
And I can feel the numbness accompany my plight
G
And I know that someday soon I'll see you
C G
But now you're out of sight
D C G
And you'll kiss me like you used to in the January night
[Chorus]
C
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
G
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
D
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
G
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
C
Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
G
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up the mountain
C
With our aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
G
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweet asylum
D
The clay you find is fortified
We felt unfocused fade the line
G
The sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
C
The marching band
When April ran
G
May June bugs fly and
