Verse 1:
                         C majorC  G+G
There's a picture of Jesus lying in his mother's arms
                        C majorC  G+G
Shuttered windows, cars humming on the ??street ??below
                         C majorC
The fountain throbbed ??in the lobby of the Grand Hotel
              G+G        C majorC G+G
We checked into room thirty-three, well well
               C majorC  G+G
You were a runaway flake of snow
                         C majorC G+G
You were skinny and white as a wafer, yeah I know
                          C majorC
Sitting on the edge of the bed clicking your shoes
                G+G     C majorC G+G
I slid my little songs out from under you


Chorus:
             C majorC   G+G
And we all rose from our wonder
            C majorC
We would never admit defeat
    G+G            C majorC
And we leaned out of the window
      G+G          C majorC       G+G C majorC
As the rain fell on the street, on the street

G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G

Verse 2:
                   C majorC     G+G
They were just a sigh released from a dying star
                     C majorC  G+G
They were runaway flakes of snow, yeah I know
                     C majorC
They annexed your insides in a late night raid
                       G+G
We sent down for drinks and something to eat
                         C majorC G+G
The cars humming in the rain on the street below
                       C majorC  G+G
A augmentedA fountain throbs in the lobby of the Grand Hotel
                    C majorC  G+G
The spurting font of creativity, yeah I know
                        C majorC
Your head in a pool of your own streaming hair
                   G+G
And Jesus lying in his mother's arms
            C majorC    G+G
Just so up on the wall, just so


Chorus:
              C majorC   G+G
And we all rose up from our wonder
            C majorC
We would never admit defeat
    G+G            C majorC
And we leaned out of the window
        G+G          C majorC       G+G C majorC
And watched the horses in the street, in the street
           G+G   C majorC G+G
In room thirty-three, yeah
       C majorC G+G C majorC
Yeah, I know

G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
