Cmaj9             Amadd9            Gadd11
 Came to light on a very hot day
                      D13                 Dm13
The grass was sweating, you were sleeping in
                    Cmaj9
With the window open and the blanket breathing
Cmaj9       Amadd9
 Cigarette on a golden ashtray
Gadd11                D13                 Dm13
 Your golden hair lay in the swollen sun ray
                   Cmaj9
The withered roses hanging in the doorway

 Formless secret

Cmaj9             Amadd9            Gadd11
 Second sight and the clouds above you
                      D13
 As the wilderness grew thicker and the crow flеw
Dm13                 Cmaj9
 Tossing and turning, your forehead burning
