Jackie Greene - Supersede

^CCookie cried for three days, till she couldn't ^C/Bcry no ^Ammore She ^Cate the fridge, ^Fjumped the bridge and wound up ^Gbloated on the shore The ^Fchildren they all pointed at ^Canother painted ^Fscore And ^Dmsomebody ^Emasked, "^FCan I ^Gtake a ^Cpicture?" Well, the ^Cheat down here is brutal, it's hard to ^C/Bdo what's ^Amright The ^Clocals shout, "You ^Fwon't burn out if you don't ^Gever shine too bright" I ^Fwish I was in your back pocket or ^Cin your arms to^Fnight I ^Dmwish that ^EmI was ^Floud so ^Gyou could ^Chear me

But ^Emoh, ^Amno ^EmWhat else must I ^Ambe? It's ^Emall inside my ^Amhead I guess ^Fbut it reminds ^Gme That I ^Cneed ^Fyou, ^Amhoney I ^Gneed you There ^Cain't no^Fbody who can ^Amsuper^Gsede you We're ^Cnot such ^Fstrangers, ^Amhoney I ^Gneed you right ^Cnow

Now the ^Cstreets are paved with petals, the parade is ^C/Bcoming ^Amthrough ^CIt kind of feels like ^Froyalty cause' ^Geveryone's in blue And ^Fyellow flowers falling ^Cfrom a window, ^Ftoo ^DmFalling ^Emat the ^Ffeet of ^Gsuch a ^Ccoward Ah, the ^Cmayor is kissing babies, he's almost ^C/Bway too ^Amkind ^CWe're filled to the brim with ^Fhonest men, they're just ^Gway too hard to find So ^Fstare into his public eyes and ^Cwatch his clock un^Fwind Then ^Dmfind him ^Emold and ^Fdrowning ^Gin the deep ^Cend

But ^Emoh, ^Amno ^EmWhat else must I ^Amsee? It's ^Emall inside my ^Amhead I guess but ^Fit just reminds ^Gme That I ^Cneed ^Fyou, ^Amhoney I ^Gneed you There ^Cain't no^Fbody who can ^Amsuper^Gsede you We're ^Cnot such ^Fstrangers, ^Amhoney I ^Gneed you right ^Cnow

Yes, I ^Clong for a hickory morning with a waltz and ^C/Btrumpet ^Amflare ^CI'm doing my best to ^Frecover from what ^Gtime cannot repair I'm ^Fsick of all this solitude and ^Cpre-rehearsed des^Fpair My ^Dmeyes are a ^Emhundred ^Fmiles a^Gway from ^Csleeping Well I ^Cwish you'd write a letter, or tele^C/Bphone to ^Amme This ^Cplace is dark and there ^Fain't a spark of ^Gwho I used to be So the ^Fsick hearts of the unloved tell the ^Cbrave souls of the ^Fsea "We're ^Dmall closed ^Emup, why don't you ^Fcome back ^Gwhen we're ^Copen"

But ^Emoh, ^Amno ^EmWhat else must I ^Ambe? It's ^Emall inside my ^Amhead I guess but ^Fit just reminds ^Gme That I ^Cneed ^Fyou, ^Amhoney I ^Gneed you There ^Cain't no^Fbody who can ^Amsuper^Gsede you We're ^Cnot such ^Fstrangers, ^Amhoney I ^Gneed you right ^Cnow

There's a ^Ccracked and pale mirror that's hanging ^C/Bon my ^Amwall ^CThe church bell rings and the ^Fchoir sings, I can ^Ghear them from the hall Now you ^Fmight not believe it, but there ^Cwas no fire at ^Fall We ^Dmdanced for ^Emseven ^Fdays wish^Ging for ^Cwater Ah, Sag^Crinnon tells the fortunes, they line a^C/Bround the ^Ambend A ^Cdollar for your ^Fproblems, and ^Gfive to know the end They ^Fcome from miles around, just like a ^Cpack of howling ^Fmen I ^Dmwonder ^Emwhat she ^Fdoes with ^Gall that ^Cmoney

Ah but ^Emoh, ^Amno ^EmWhat else must I ^Ambe? It's ^Emall inside my ^Amhead I guess ^Fbut it reminds ^Gme That I ^Cneed ^Fyou, ^Amhoney I ^Gneed you There ^Cain't no^Fbody who could ^Amsuper^Gsede you We're ^Cnot such ^Fstrangers, ^Amhoney I ^Gneed you right ^Cnow

Ah, a ^Csimple sidewalk painter, says his life is ^C/Bsuch a ^Ambore He ^Cspends his time with a ^Fjug of wine and a ^Gpalette on the floor He screams, ^F"Heaven! Take my eyes, because ^CI can't paint no ^Fmore." Honey, ^Dmsometimes ^EmI, I ^Ffeel just ^Glike his ^Ccolors I'm gonna ^Cgo down to the ocean, I'm gonna to fill my ^C/Bboots with ^Amsand The ^Cnext time that you ^Fsee me, I'll be a ^Gmuch more grounded man So ^Fgo and do whatever it is you do and ^CI'll do what I ^Fcan And ^Dmwhen we ^Emmeet a^Fgain you can ^Gtry to ^Cknow me

But ^Emoh, ^Amno ^EmWhat else must I ^Amsee? It's ^Emall inside my ^Amhead I guess but ^Fit just reminds ^Gme That I ^Cneed ^Fyou, ^Amhoney I ^Gneed you There ^Cain't no^Fbody who can ^Amsuper^Gsede you We're ^Cnot such ^Fstrangers, ^Amhoney I ^Gneed you right ^Cnow

^CThey call me pessimistic, but it oc^C/Bcured to ^Amme That ^Cbabies are all born ^Fcrying and ^Gdying is never free But I ^Fstill can't shake that feeling, that ^Csomebody's watching ^Fme ^DmI just ^Emthought that^{F G}I would tell ^Cyou
