I was wasted in the afternoon, waiting on a train
G D F C
I woke up in pieces and Elisabeth, had disappeared again
G D F C
I wish you were inside of me, I hope that you're ok

I hope you're resting quietly, I just wanted to say
[Chorus]

Good, goodnight, Elisabeth
F C
Goodnight, Elisabeth, goodnight
G D
Good, goodnight, Elisabeth
F C
Goodnight, Elisabeth, goodnight
[Verse 2]
G D F C
We couldn't all be cowboys, so some of us are clowns
G D
Some of us are dancers on the midway
F C
We roam from town to town
G D F C
I hope that everybody, can find a little flame
G D
And me I, say my prayers, then I just light myself on fire
F C
And I walk out on the wire once again
G
And I said
[Chorus]
G D
Good, goodnight, Elisabeth
F C
Goodnight, Elisabeth, goodnight
G D
Good, goodnight, Elisabeth

Goodnight, Elisabeth, goodnight

[Verse 3]
G D
I will wait for you in Baton Rouge
F C
miss you down in New Orleans
G D
I'll wait for you while she slips in something comfortable
F C
I'll miss you when I'm slipping in between
G D F C
If you wrap yourself in daffodils, I will wrap myself in pain
G D
And if you're the queen of California
F C
Baby, I am the king of the rain
G
And I said
[Chorus]
G D
Good, goodnight, Elisabeth
F C
Goodnight, Elisabeth, goodnight
G D
Good, goodnight, Elisabeth
F C
The moons, the satellites, yeah
G D
And I watch it fall down, on me now
F C
Oh she fall down on me
G D
Oh come,come fall down on me now
F C
Won't you fall down on me
G D
Cause I'm all alone, you ain't coming home
F C
We settle down, down, down, into bones
G D
I said I'm all alone, you ain't comin home
F C
We just settle down, down, down, into bones
