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