Csus2/D Am Repeat


[Am] Four in the m[C]orning the sidewalk's as[Am]leep
C [Riff 2] G
Dogs on the porch and spiders on the leaf
[Riff 1] Dm [Riff 3] Am
Shipwrecked by night, sailing through days
[Riff 4] E E7 Am
Nobody noticed that slipping away

Csus2/D Am Repeat
[Am] [C] [Am] [C]
[Am] Connecting the [C]dots with thorns in his [Am]side
C [Riff 2] G
Boarded up the windows with pain and with pride
[Riff 1] Dm Am
The music box broken that once was his soul
[Riff 4] E E7 Am
It's sad little song spinning out of control

[G] Then came the [C/G]storm that washed the roads [G]out
Closed both his [C/G]eyes and pointed straight [G]south
[Riff 1] Dm Am
Second line drums marched into the sea
While the clouds over[E]head cried muti[Am]ny
They parted for [E]Cathy and her bitter [Am]news
As her words [Dm]failed, the sky grew [Am]dim
Recalled how [E]close to that exit I've [Am]been

Am C/G x3
G [Riff 1] Dm
[Am] [E] [E7]
[Am]
[C/G] Ours not to re[Am]ply, [C/G] ours not to rea[Am]son why
[C] Well, the news about [G]William
The [F]lifeline re[C]sist, the [C]desire for the [F]breeze
The [Am]thorns in his side

[Am/C]
