well time has a way of throwing it all in your face
the past, she is haunted, the future is laced

chorus: for the chorus I just use a random picking pattern
that keeps with the beat using the chords G C Am and D
Gand through the glass, the corn crows come like Crain
they wont sGtay, they wont stAmay for
Ctoo long now
this could be Gall that we Cknow..
of lDove and all.

well you were a dancer, i was a rag
the song in my head, well was all that i had
hope was a letter i never could send
love was a country we couldnt defend.
Pick around on the Am here for a moment before
last chorus...
Gand through the carnivaAml we watch them go Cround and rGound
all we knew of Amhome was just a Csunset and some cGlowns ohhhhhhh
