I see you gracefully swimming with the country club women
E C#m B
in the Greenwood southside society pool.
A E
I love your amethyst eyes and your protestant thighs
B F#
you're a shimmering socialite jewel.
B Bmaj7 B7
From the Carbon Dioxide Riding Academy
E B C#m B
to the children's crusade marching through the downtown.
A E
Well I think I'd die see, if you just said hi to me.
B F#
When something breaks it makes a beautiful sound.
E
Sometimes I feel like I'm watching the world
and the world isn't watching me back.
But when I see you, I know I'm in it too.
B
The waves come in and the waves go back.
E
The kids in the corner all covered in dirt.
Caught trespassing under the moon.
My father came in from wherever he'd been
B
and kicked my shit all over the room.
A
All over the room
E
All over the room.
[Instrumental]

The room is dark and heavy with what I want to say.
A E
I see murals in the radio static and on your blue blue jeans.
B* Ebm*
What would you say if I asked you to run away?
A E
It's been done so many times I hardly know what it means.
E Ebm*
I took these blue arrangements and threw them in the sea
A E
when older waves from older caves brought them back to me.
B* Ebm*
I took these blue arrangements and stored them on a shelf.
A
With change on the mantle and time in a candle,
E
in the end a boy raises himself.
