[Verse]
G F GWhile you were reading the black bible in the sun
Gm FI was half drunk out the window of a moving city bus
C G FWilder than the devil, like a tiger in the brush
C G FLouder than an atom bomb that only you could hush
C G FSpinning like the Earth and Moon, but never really touched
C G FAlone, the ways I wanted to be loved
C G F GYou were not enough….
F GWhile your head was bowed and hands praying to God
Gm FI was swinging from the chandeliers like some endangered animal
C G FSomewher? in New Orleans on the run
C G FLik? I just won the lottery, with God-knows-what inside of me
C G CHair a mess and shoelaces undone
C G FOf all the ways I wanted you
C G F GYou were not the one…..
[Verse]
G F GWhile they were teaching you how Moses split the sea
Gm C FI was in an airplane bathroom doing speedballs off the sink
C G FHigh as any angel moving at the speed of sound
C G FSomeplace over Germany, moving through the clouds
C G FWinking back at stewardesses, supplying me with ale
C G FBig-hooped golden earrings staying at the same hotel
C G FOf all the ways I wanted you to hold me
C G F GI could not be held….
G F GWhile you were waiting for the doctor in the chair
Gm FI was stoned riding the cyclone at the Onslow County Fair
C G FThe stars above us sparkled like they didn’t pay the bill
C G FSmokes behind the haunted house, chugging stolen beers
C G FCotton candy kisses underneath the ferris wheel
C G FOf all the ways you wanted me to feel
C GI could never heal
G F GWhile you were waiting in the depot for the train
Gm FI was asleep on stolen cargo in the back of someone’s plane
C G FHalfway back from Florida from Cuba in the rain
C G FLow enough to feel the water from the spraying waves
C G FUnderneath the radar hauling crates of pure *******
C G FHung over and laughing high above The Everglades
C G FOf all the ways I wanted to be tamed
C GI was just insane
[Verse]
G F GWhile you were waiting in the lobby for your man
Gm FI was working at the circus as a garbage man
C G FRemembering that winter you were in a long black coat
C G FI’m at home with the animals, knife at my own throat
C G FYou hear the bells of freedom, but the chains all just say “nope”
C G FIf I was the Titanic, you were pink clouds and blue smoke
C G FRising over Hemingway and in an old man’s fishing boat
C G FOf all the things I wanted you to be
C G FOf all the things I wish that you were now
C G F G F C G F G Gm FYou were not around………………………
C G F GYou were not around…..
