C(AddD) D
Step out the front door like a ghost
Em7
Into the fog where no-one notices
G
The contrast of white on white.
C(AddD)
And in in between the moon and you
D
Angels get a better view
Em7 G
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.
C(AddD)
I walk in the air between the rain
D
Through myself and back again.
Em7 G
Where? I don't know.
C(AddD)
Maria says she's dying.
D
Through the door I hear her crying?
Em7 G
Why? I don't know
C D Em G
Round here we always stand up straight
C D Em G
Round here, something radiates.
C(AddD) D
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
Em7 G
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
C(AddD) D
She walks along the edge where the ocean meets the land
Em7 G
Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
C(AddD) D
She parks her car outside of my house takes her clothes off,
Em7 G
She say's she's close to understanding Jesus
C(AddD) D
She knows she's more than just a little misunderstood

She has trouble acting normal when shes nervous
C D Em G
Round here we're carving out our names

Round here she's slipping through my hands
A D G A G
A Am7 D7/A A G A
Sleeping children better run like the wind
Am7 D7 A G A
Out of the lightning dream
Am7 D7/A A G A
Mama's little baby better get herself in
C D
Out of the lightning
C(AddD) D Em7 G
She says, "It's only in my head."
C(AddD) D Em7 G
She says, "shh...I know it's only in my head."
C(AddD)
But the girl on the street by the parking lot
D
says:"Man, you should try to Take a shot
Em7 G
Can't you see my walls are crumbling?"
C(AddD)
Then she looks up at the building
D
Say's she's thinking of jumping
Em7
She says she's tired of life;
G
She must be tired of something.
C D Em G
Round here she's always on my mind
CD Em G
Round here I got lots of time
C D
Round here we're never sent to bed early
Em G
Man, nobody makes us wait
C D Em G
round here we stay up very, very, very, very late.

I can't see nothin', nothin'
Em
Around here
G C
You catch me if I'm falling,

You catch me if I'm falling,
Em
Will you catch me cause I'm falling down on you

I said I'm under the gun

I know I heard a band playing waltzes in a grange hall, the sun is sinking lower
A
People stair at Mary-Jaine humming softly to herself. Ain't nobody really knows her

Margery Dreams of Horses
Tom: E
E
In still water she lies down
D
Shaking in the press of sunlight
A
We roll into Lexington
E
She shakes off a drop of daylight
E
Water beating up her chest
D
Bleeding down between her knees
A
Rivers in Kentucky flow
E
Between the bluegrass wavy seas
D E
But oh, Margery
D A E
Twist the blade once more inside of me
E
Breathless with anticipation
D
Baited breathers set their hooks
A
Tuck their heads beneith the high grass
E
Lie and wait beside the brooks
E
For instance, pushing slowly through
D
Frustration leading back along
A
The allies of a childhood
E
That will not release us willingly
D E
But oh, Margery
D A E
Sticks the knife in while I couldn't see
F#m E F#m E
E
So dust me off and shut me down
D
I'll dream of where I haven't been
A
Close the door inside my heart and
E
Stuff in the South Atlantic wind
E
I have hollow eyes
D
Haunting only to myself
D
Even so I can't stop calling
E
Great big hollows in myself
E
I took the train from California
D
To the far side of the continent
A
Woke up in Kentucky
E
Where a wedding was about to end
E
I looked up at Anna
D
She turned back to look at me
A
It's best to kill the ones that matter
E
Render blind the ones who see
D E
But oh, Margery
D A E
Takes the blade and walks away from me
D E
Oh, Margery
D A E
Love, like blood, is pouring out of me
D E
Oh, Margery
D A E
My heart wont stop bleeding over me
F#m E F#m E

Oh, I can't shut it in
D A E
It's got far too many doors to block the wind

Oh, I can't shut it in

It's got far too many doors to block the wind

Oh, I can't shut it in

Daylight Fading
Tom: G
G
Waiting for the moon to come and light me up inside
Em C A
And I am waiting for the telephone to tell me I'm alive
G
Well I heard you let somebody get their fingers into you
Em C A
It's getting cold in California I guess I'll be leaving soon
{Chorus}
D
Daylight fading
Em7 C
Come and waste another year
Em7 C G D
All the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear
D Em7 C
Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn
Em Asus2 C
When we see the early signs that daylight's fading
D
We leave just before it's gone
G
She said "everybody loves you.” She says,"everybody cares."
Em C A
But all the things I keep inside myself,they vanish in the air
G
If you tell me that you'll wait for me I'll say I won't be here
Em C
I want to say goodbye to you. Goodbye to all my friends.
A
Goodbye to everyone I know

Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales

Stare at the beautiful women

"She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."
C F G
Smiling in the bright lights Coming through in stereo
C F G
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely
Am F Dm G
I will paint my picture Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
Am F G
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful

If I knew Picasso I would buy myself a gray guitar and play

When everybody loves you, son, that's just about as funky as you can be.
C F G
Mr. Jones and me staring at the video

But when everybody loves me, I'm going to be just about as happy as I can
be.

Em(Gm) G(Bb) D(F) A(C)

G(Bb) D(F) A(C) Em(Gm)
Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
G(Bb) D(F) G(Bb)
And talked a little while about the year
Em(Gm) G(Bb) D(F) A(C)
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Em(Gm) D(F) G(Bb)
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her
G(Bb) D(F) A(C) Em(Gm)
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
G(Bb) D(F) G(Bb)
Maybe this year will be better than the last
Em(Gm) G(Bb) D(F) A(C)
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
Em(Gm) D(F) G(Bb)
To hold on to these moments as they pass
D(F) G(Bb) Em(Gm)
And it's one more day up in the canyon

And it's one more night in Hollywood

It's been so long since I've seen the ocean... I guess I should

A man in my shoes runs a lier, and all the papers lie tonight
(C) (Fm)
that falling over you is the news of the day.
(G*)
The angels fall like rain,
(Fm) (G*)
and your love is all of heaven away.
(G) (Fm)
Inside you time moves and she don't fade,
(G) (Fm)
The ghost in you, she don't fade.
(C) (Fm)
The race is on I'm on your side, but hearing you my engines die,
(C) (Fm)
I'm in the mood for you, for running away.

Oh the stars come down in you
(Fm) (G*)
And love, love, love, can't give it away

Inside you the time moves and she don't fade away

[verse]
D A
When I think of heaven
Bm A D
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
A Bm A D A
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
Bm A D A
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God
Bm A
In the belly of a black-winged bird.
Bm G
Don't try to feed me
Bm G
I've been here before
D E
And I deserve a little more
[chorus]
A Bm D E A
I belong in the service of the Queen
A Bm D E A
I belong anywhere but in between
A Bm D E
She's been crying and I've been thinking
A Bm D E
And I am the Rain King
[verse]
E D A Bm A
And I said mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone?
D A
I can't go outside
Bm A
I'm scared I might not make it home
D A
I'm alive, I'm alive
Bm A
But I'm sinking in
D A
If there's anyone at home at your place, darling
Bm A
Why don't you invite me in?
Bm G
Don't try to bleed me
Bm G
I've been there before
D E
And I deserve a little more
[chorus]
A Bm D E A
I belong in the service of the Queen
A Bm D E A
I belong anywhere but in between
A Bm D E
She's been lying and I've been sinking
A Bm D E
And I am the Rain King
[bridge]
Bm D A
Hey, I only want the same as anyone
Bm D A Bm
Henderson is waiting for the sun
D A
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
Bm D A
After all the dreaming I come home again
repeat D A Bm A 2x here
[verse]
D A
When I think of heaven
Bm A D
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
A Bm
I think of dying
A D A
Lay me down in a field of flame and heather
Bm A D A
Render up my body into the burning heart of God
Bm A
In the belly of a black-winged bird
Bm G
Don't try to bleed me
Bm G
I've been here before
D E
And I deserve a little more
[chorus]
A Bm D E A
I belong in the service of the queen
A Bm D E A
I belong anywhere but in between
A Bm D E
She's been dying and I've been drinking
A Bm D E
And I am the Rain King
