πΈ Verse 1:
C
Really can't remember where I left my spine
F
Carryin' my body in a bag for dimes
C F
Hidden in the pages of the New York Times at home
C
And maybe I'll be better if I take my meds
F
Ain't a doubleheader if you lose your head
C
Try the medication that I bought instead
F
It's workin' for a little, but there's not much left
πΈ Chorus:
Am D
Darling, don't you weep
Am F
There's a place for me
Am F
Somewhere we can sleep
Am D
See you in your dreams
πΈ Verse 2:
C
Ever since a little girl, I found it sweet
F
Drivin' past a graveyard on a lonesome street
C F
All the little flowers gave me somethin' to believe in
C
Never knew the feelin' of a stable home
F
Been a couple years of livin' on the road
C
Couldn't really tell you where they'd leave a stone
F
To visit me when I am dead and gone
πΈ Chorus:
Am D
Darlin', don't you weep
Am F
There's a place for me
Am F
Somewhere we can sleep
Am D
I'll see you in your dreams
Am F
Darlin', don't you cry
Am F
Head fast toward the light
Am D
Foolish men have tried
Am F
But only you have shown me how to love bein' alive
πΈ Bridge:
C
Until it's time to see the light
F
I'll make my own with you each night
C F
I'll kidnap all the stars and I will keep them in your eyes
C
I'll wrap them up in velvet twine
F
And hang 'em from a fishin' line
C F
So I can see them anytime I like
πΈ Chorus:
Am D
Darlin', don't you weep
Am F
There's a place for me
Am F
Somewhere we can sleep
Am D
I'll see you in your dreams
Am F
Darlin', don't you cry
Am D
Head fast toward the light
Am F
Foolish men have tried
Am F
But only you have shown me how to love bein' alive
