cadence and strumming. The first three verses are fingerpicked,
and then Jeffrey gradually switches over to a strumming pattern.
[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse 1]
G CThere's holes in all the sidewalls
G CWhere the wind it brings the rain in
G CAnd the gold crowns have been found out
G CTo be brass that has been painted
[Interlude]
G C G C
[Verse 2]
G CAnd there's holes in all our bibles
G CWhere we make secret compartments
G CTo hide the broken treasures
G CWe smuggled out the garden
[Interlude]
G C G C
[Verse 3]
G CAnd we gaze at our reflections
G CLike insecure children
G CPoorly dressed and always panickin'
G CIn the bodies of men and women
G CAnd we stumble on like drunkards
G CToward a cliff, just because
G CNone of us cares about the end
G CWhen we're trying to find love
[Strumming]
[Interlude]
G C/G G C/G
[Verse 4]
G C/GAnd we get moving in the morning
G C/GWe suffer on into the evening
G C/GWhere we finally drink the whiskey
G C/GThat soothes our disbelieving
G C/GWhile others find a quiet place
G C/GAnd build a fence around it
G C/GSpend their time on the money they make
G C/GAnd find ways to talk about it
[Interlude]
G C/G G C/G
[Verse 5]
G C/GThere's an angry man on the mountain
G C/GJust like there's always been
G C/GAnd there's a quiet man in the valley
G C/GStanding taller than him
G C/GAnd there's a child with a secret
G C/GThat she doesn't know she holds
G C/GAnd the fact that I can see it
G C/GMeans that I Am growing old
[Interlude]
G C/G G C/G
[Verse 6]
G C/GSome of us get lucky
G C/GFind an anchor in the storm
G C/GAnd some of us never learn to see
G C/GBeyond the place we were born
G C/GAnd time is a mystic
G C/GWith a briefcase in his hand
G C/GYou can pay to look inside it
G C/GBut you can't afford to understand
[Interlude]
G C/G G C/G
[Verse 7]
G C/GAnd maybe heaven is a place
G C/GThat doesn't have an address
G C/GAnd maybe that's okay
G C/GJust like joy or sadness
G C/GYou can meet god in a cigarette
G C/GJust the same as in a sermon
G C/GAnd the devil's always listenin'
G C/GTo those who are deserving
[Outro]
G C/G G C/GYeah, yeah
