[Verse 1]
D
Burn up with the water
D
The floods are on the plains
D
The planets in a rose
D
Who knows what they contain?
D
And my brain is like an orchestra
D
Playing on, insane
D
Will you love me like you loved me in the January rain?
D
[Verse 2]
D
Mom and Dad and violins
G D
Somber country silence
The needle stopped the kicking
A
The clothes pins on the floor
D
And my heart is playing hide and seek
G D
Wait and count to four
A G D
Will you love me like you loved me and I'll never ask for more
[Chorus]
G
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
D
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
A
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
D
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
G
Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
D
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up the mountain
G
With our aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
D
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweet asylum
A
The clay you find is fortified
We felt unfocused fade the line
D
The sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
G
The marching band
When April ran
D
May June bugs fly and
A
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
G D
Here we go round Mary in your famous story book
[Verse 3]
D
We overcome the sirens
G D
We look both left and right
A
And I can feel the numbness accompany my plight
D
And I know that someday soon I'll see you
G D
But now you're out of sight
A G D
And you'll kiss me like you used to in the January night
[Chorus]
G
What did you tell me Mary
When you were there so sweet and very
D
Full of field and stars
You carried all of time
A
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me
Your eyes were like machinery
D
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
G
Monastery monochrome
Boom balloon machine and oh
D
Diamond rings and gutter bones
Marching up the mountain
G
With our aching planning
High and smiling
Cheap drink
Dark and violent
D
Full of butterflies
The violent tenderness
The sweet asylum
A
The clay you find is fortified
We felt unfocused fade the line
D
The sugar rush
The constant hush
The pushing of the water gush
G
The marching band
When April ran
D
May June bugs fly and
A
Push your gin Jacob
With the tired wiry brandy look
G D
