Verse
C#
I can recall you standng tall,
A#m
F man in all his glory gazing
D#m
At them patterns painting rainbows in
G#
The sunlight on the pavement
C#
in the blackness where your axon sent me
A#m
Softly into dreaming
D#m
Over bends and home again only to
G#
Turn up inbetween them
[Verse 2]
C#
And the speakers shout me greetings
A#m
They shout me revelations
D#m
Where them villains wind up dancing and their fans come
G#
Spend their paychecks
C#
And we dance around a ram sent down(?) and
A#m
We just wear the anthem sounds
D#m
Tricksters and the tramps about,
G#
Cheaters as the champs are crowned
[Verse 3]
C#
You take your chances
A#m
While the sunlight sets
D#m
But no matter how ferocious
G#
That the gunfight gets
C#
The promised land i hear is merely
A#m
One ride west
D#m
I haven't had the time to take
G#
But when the blood dries, let's
[Verse 4]
C# A#m
If you did not believe in all these
D#m G#
Silly little things you do
C# A#m
You might not feel that melancholy
D#m G#
When they turn out to not be true
C# A#m
But who's to say what's true and what isn't
D#m G#
He said she said that it's not you
C#m A#m
Me oh my good god good riddance
Gm*
What a nice neat bloodless coupe
[Verse 5]
C# A#m
Youv'e been praying with dirty fingers
D#m G#
It's a wonder you can pray at all
C# A#m
'Til nighttime comes cool 'cross the vineyard
D#m G#
And it's a wonder I should think so small
C# A#m
But there she goes my moonlight daugthter
D#m G#
Baskin, brushing up against the rose
C# A#m
Sometimes she sings tunes I taught her
Gm*
Most times she don't use words at all
[Outro]
C# A#m
You get what you get and you don't throw a fit
D#m G#
Take what you make and don't tell no one shit (x4)
