Verse 1:
   C   Bb  F
Hello, rainbow
C                         Bb
What an afternoon you've chosen to appear to us
F      C       Bb
You're lookin' quite, quite lovely
F          C              Bb
How are my friends, those clouds?
F      C     Bb
Sweet, sweet mother, don't you cry again
   F  C    Bb
My sister spoke of children dyin'
      C      Bb
Dyin' in her womb
Gm  C    Bb                              C
Brother, keep your wallet underneath the covers
Bb
When the snow comes
F  C   Bb
Winter gets so cold
                     F     C  Bb
So cold my palms can sweat no more

Chorus:
Bb
So I reach for my head
  F          C
I understand nothing
  Bb
I reach for a constellation
F
That seems to be growing
          Bb        F C
Growing stronger in me
Bb         F C
Built by a beast
Dm    C    F
Built by a beast

Verse 2:
F    C    Bb
Blue van, driving north through Canada
F  C     Bb                 F    C       Bb
So long, oh Louisiana and a fist full of friends
C         Bb
You call, nothing here but emptiness
       C        Bb
Though somehow, I feel the most comforted
     F  C         Bb
With no one, with no heat, and no tellin'
      F          C  Bb
Where we'll wake up next
    F   C    Bb                            F
Oh, the yard springs to life the warmest water
     C     Bb                               F    C   Bb
Cleansing, and oh my god, what's the matter with the sky
F        C     Bb
Oh look, look, here it comes that Borealis
F    C    Bb
Mine eyes have not seen anything like it
F    C          Bb
What a world is this

Chorus:
   Gm          Bb
So I reach for my head
F            C
I understand nothing
Dm          Bb
I reach for a constellation
F                C
That seems to be growing
        Dm   Bb     F C
Growing stronger in me
Dm    Bb F   C
Built by a beast
Bb    C    F
Built by a beast

Verse 3:
F  C   Bb
Laying in his cell, confined to just
  F  C    Bb
Euphoric, painless memories and mine
F       C     Bb
A nurse can't seem to tell if he's alright
      F         C        Bb
There's silence from his wife
F   C  Bb
I . V. sends him dreaming of his children
F    C  Bb
Does he really even know them?
        F        C
There's no pain, but
Bb
This cancer can't be good
        F  C    Bb
So I am hanging on his every word
         F               C        Bb
Pleading you've done the best you could
 F       C    Bb
His face weak from all the medication
    F    C        Bb
I'm determined to sing him of my revelations
F        C      Bb
Send him on his way

Outro:
                                   F                    C
Well, pa, I'm sure you are in line with whatever you've got coming
Bb                                F               C
But I'm sure there were times you felt absolutely nothing
Dm     Bb      F C
At all in your head
Dm     Bb      F C
At all in your bed
Dm     Bb      F
At all in your head

Oh, well, pa, I'm sure you are in line with whatever you've got coming
Dm                                F               C
But I'm sure there were times you felt absolutely nothing
Dm     Bb      F C
At all in your head
Dm             F C
At all in your bed
Dm     C       F
