All the rowboats in the paintings
Fm
They keep trying to row away
Cm Gm
And the captains ' worried faces
Fm
Stay contorted and staring at the waves
Cm Gm
They'll keep hanging in their gold frames
Fm
For forever, forever and a day
Cm Gm
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
Fm
They keep trying to row away, row away
Cm Gm
Hear them whispering French and German
Fm
Dutch, Italian, and Latin
Cm Gm
When no one's looking I touch a sculpture
Fm
Marble, cold, and soft as satin
Cm Gm
But the most special are the most lonely
Fm
God, i pity the violins
Cm Gm
In glass coffins they keep coughing
Fm
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing
Cm Gm Fm
La La La La La
Fm
La La La La La La
Cm Gm
First there's lights out, then there's lock up
Fm
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
Cm Gm
It's their own fault for being timeless
Fm
There's a price you pay and a consequence
Cm Gm
All the galleries, the museums
Fm
Here's your ticket, welcome to the tombs
Cm Gm
They're just public mausoleums
Fm
The living dead fill every room
Cm Gm
But the most special are the most lonely
Fm
God, i pity the violins
Cm Gm
In glass coffins they keep coughing
Fm
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing
Cm Gm
They will hang there in their gold frames
Fm
For forever, forever and a day
Cm Gm
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
Fm
They keep trying to row away, row away
Cm Gm
First there's lights out, then there's lock up

Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
Cm Gm
It's their own fault for being timeless

There's a price you pay and a consequence
Cm Gm
All the galleries, the museums

They will stay there forever and a day

All the rowboats in the oil paintings

They keep trying to row away, row away...
