Capo 2nd Fret
------------
E-
He was a clubland caller, he was younger than he felt
A-                              B-
Settled like a moth down in the east-end Neon belt
E-
Well he used to be a believer, 'til the city got its grip
A-                               B-
Now if there's any holiness left, Well he can't remember it

E-
She was a high-rise butterfly, crashed in '92
A-                                  B-
Into some veiled little suburb that they bulldozed through
E-
Where the little fat angels guard the harvest like they should
A-                         B-
Well its downtown now but it used to be the woods

It used to be the woods

   D                 E-
And, oh its a lonely little town
  D                  E-
And oh, its a lonely little tune
  Dsus6                    B-                        E-
And if my name is on that list I guess I'll see you soon


E-
First he heard her voice and then he saw her face
A-                                B-
She shone just like a crucifix, an instrument of grace
E-
And they got on like children, they got a hotel room
A-                          B-
They got a new religion, a needle and a spoon

E-
And they gave thanks to the heavens, but the devil held their hands
A-                                      B-
And they walked that great divide between Disciples and partisans
E-
And the brown and the Bible, they were never quite enough
A-                                        B-
But the life that grew inside her well that felt a bit like love

felt a bit like love

    D                    E-
And, oh its a lonely little town
    D                   E-
And oh, its a lonely little tune
   Dsus6                   B-                        E-
And if my name is on that list I guess I'll see you soon
   Dsus6                   B-                        E-
And if my name is on that list I guess I'll see you soon

E-
The seasons are a metronome, the rhythm and the wild
A-                                  B-
The winter took his heart away, the spring it took her child
E-
And the honeyed breath of summer is sweet and overgrown
A-                                         B-
But its always autumn sings "its not too late To find your way back home"

To find your way back home"

E-
And a bell sometimes reminds them, or the singing in the wind
A-                           B-
The striking of a match, the smell of Paraffin
E-
And some folks are drawn to the flames, and some just want to hide
A-                                            B-
But the lonely are the prettiest of all, they burn from the inside

They burn from the inside
A-                                             B-
Yeah, the lonely are the prettiest of all, they burn from the inside
