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