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