🎸 Intro:

Bb


🎸 Verse:

Bb
I don't know my telephone number

But you kiss good and I'd like to

See you tomorrow

And I don't beg, I pay, I don't barter

And if we had a child I'd like a son,
           Eb
Not a daughter

No she'd be just like you
Db
You know that would not do


🎸 Verse 2:

Bb
I'm no builder, I'm no gardener

I sing some songs, have a friend

Who's a photographer

There ain't no other language

I know how to speak

Some like their water shallow
                Eb
And I like mine deep, so very, very deep
Db
Tied to the bottom

With a noose around my feet


🎸 Chorus:

Bb             Cm   Db
The clouds conspire
         Gm    Bb
Above my head
       Cm         Db
I overheard them
                    Gm
Say I wish he was dead
Bb            Cm Db
Today the sunset
                  Gm
Oh it burned my eyes
Bb         Cm      Db               Gm
And in the next room I hear someone cry


🎸 Interlude:

Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Csus4


🎸 Verse 3:

Bb
I like to dress up like the jury

Eat like a king, to poke fun at clergy

To talk like dirt

To love you like tar
                      Eb
But never fall in too fast

With my north star
          Db
While you pull your hair out

I buy the drinks at the bar


🎸 Chorus 2:

Bb             Cm   Db
The clouds conspire
         Gm    Bb
Above my head
       Cm         Db
I overheard them
                    Gm
Say I wish he was dead
Bb            Cm Db
Today the sunset
                  Gm
Oh it burned my eyes
Bb         Cm      Db               Gm
And in the next room I hear someone cry
