Counting Crows - Shallow days

^A Mary-Jaine says its alright, she's just around the corner from the main line Any ^Aday now, its alright. She's standing on the precipice of big time And I know ^AI'm a little up tight. I got to go before the sun shine We're just a couple ^Asmall people squeezing out a life. We need a little good time

Its not far from ^F#mhere. ^EMary comes and ^Dgoes. Drifting through the ^F#mscenery of ^Eshallow days be^Dlow. And then as everybody knows you follow ^Atrains out of town and they vanish somewhere under the horizon Yeah well I saw Mary-J^Aaine drag her shadow down the tracks, stair of into the distance.

Its not far from ^F#mhere. ^EMary waves he^Dllo. Smiling though she's ^F#msinking in the ^Eshallow days be^Dlow ^Bm I can't find the ^Dway out of ^F#mhere, out on the road again I'm ^Bmmuch much too con^Dcerned about ^F#mMary-Jaine. I'm all alone again and ^Bm I like what she ^Dsaid, but not what it ^F#mmeans. She leaves me drowning through the ^Bmshallow days, ^D down below ^{F#m E}

I know I heard a ^Aband playing waltzes in a grange hall, the sun is sinking lower People stair at Mary-^AJaine humming softly to herself. Ain't nobody really knows her And any ^Aday now its alright. She tells herself that this will be the last time And Mary-^AJaine pulls her hair back and wonders what she'll do with all the free time

Not too far from ^F#mhere. ^EMary turns to ^Dgo. Smiling while the ^F#mwaltz begins to ^Edancin down the r^Doad, hey, hey ^BmHey hey Mr. ^DFreedom, what are ^F#mwe supposed to think? Cause I'm a ^Bmvery tiny ^Dperson, and it ^F#mworries me, out all alone again and ^Bm I like what she ^Dsaid but not what it ^F#mmeans, she leaves me drowning in the ^Bmshallow days ^D way down below^F#m

Hey, yeah yeah ^Ayeah...ooooh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeeah yeah yeah yeah^D I'm sorry. She ^Asaid "I know, its not the kind of thing you want.^D I'm falling, falling down" I'm sorry.^A She said "I know, I'm not the kind of girl you want We're ^Dfa^F#mlling, ^E ooooooh ^DFa^F#mlling, ooo^Eooooooh ^DFa^F#mlling, fa^Elling down...
