         C majorC         FF      C majorC
While you were reading the black bible in the sun
      A minorAm            FF
I was half drunk out the window of a moving city bus
 G+G         C majorC      FF
Wilder than the devil, like a tiger in the brush
G+G        C majorC      FF
Louder than an atom bomb that only you could hush
G+G         C majorC          FF
Spinning like the Earth and Moon, but never really touched
  G+G        C majorC       FF
Alone, the ways I wanted to be loved
G+G        C majorC FF C majorC
You were not enough
                FF        C majorC
While your head was bowed and hands praying to God
    A minorAm                 FF
I was swinging from the chandeliers like some endangered animal
 G+G        C majorC        FF
Somewher? in New Orleans on the run
G+G      C majorC      FF
Lik? I just won the lottery, with God-knows-what inside of me
G+G        C majorC      G+G
Hair a mess and shoelaces undone
  G+G       C majorC     FF
Of all the ways I wanted you

You were not the one

While they were teaching you how Moses split the sea
       A minorAm     G+G     FF
I was in an airplane bathroom doing speedballs off the sink
G+G       C majorC     FF
High as any angel moving at the speed of sound
G+G        C majorC    FF
Someplace over Germany, moving through the clouds
G+G         C majorC        FF
Winking back at stewardesses, supplying me with ale
G+G           C majorC       FF
Big-hooped golden earrings staying at the same hotel
  G+G        C majorC       FF
Of all the ways I wanted you to hold me
G+G        C majorC FF C majorC
I could not be held
        C majorC        FF       C majorC
While you were waiting for the doctor in the chair
    A minorAm                FF
I was stoned riding the cyclone at the Onslow County Fair
G+G        C majorC        FF
The stars above us sparkled like they didn't pay the bill
G+G          C majorC        FF
Smokes behind the haunted house, chugging stolen beers
G+G       C majorC      FF
Cotton candy kisses underneath the ferris wheel
G+G          C majorC       FF
Of all the ways you wanted me to feel

I could never heal

While you were waiting in the depot for the train

I was asleep on stolen cargo in the back of someone's plane
G+G         C majorC       FF
Halfway back from Florida from Cuba in the rain
G+G        C majorC       FF
Low enough to feel the water from the spraying waves
   G+G        C majorC       FF
Underneath the radar hauling crates of pure *******
 G+G        C majorC      FF
Hung over and laughing high above The Everglades
G+G         C majorC        FF
Of all the ways I wanted to be tamed
G+G       C majorC
I was just insane

I'm at home with the animals, knife at my own throat

You hear the bells of freedom, but the chains all just say "nope"

If I was the Titanic, you were pink clouds and blue smoke
G+G        C majorC        FF
Rising over Hemingway and in an old man's fishing boat
  G+G         C majorC       FF
Of all the things I wanted you to be
  G+G         C majorC         FF
Of all the things I wish that you were now

You were not around
G+G        C majorC FF C majorC
You were not around  ,
