[Intro]
G D G D C D C D
[Verse]
GMinor chords and major arcana D
GLittle leather jacket and a black bandDana
CKicking over trashcans and telling jokes in AtDlanta
When I got the fCever, it hit me like a fan
On the bDack of my hand I don't know who I am
GBut I'm free for nothing gooDd for nothing too
GCrazy to dream and still crazy aboDut you
Won't you Clet me in one more time, babe I want to Dfeel it too
Well nCothing is a lie, babe if you know it ain't Dtrue
[Chorus]
Take a look at me nGow D
Take a look at me nGow D
[Verse]
GReparations now coming my waDy
GDues that I've recollected that I never Dpaid
In the sCtained glass windows babe I feel the pDresence, oh yeah
CBut that don't mean I'm done with repentance Doh no
GGonna find another way to climb out of this Dbasement
GGonna find out what that smile oDn your face meant
Like a thCief that you borrow baby take a hold of me, Dtake flight
And I wGant to do your bidding babe I want to sDteal away in the night
[Chorus]
Take a look at me nGow D
Take a look at me nGow D
[Verse]
GHeart's on fire; so is the paDge
GEverybody round here is telling me to act mDy age, I'm tryin'
CThings are only revealed in the light thDat is given
Oh to be fCreed from the pardon when all else is Dforgiven
GRain outside is blowing in the curtains D
GNothing is revealed but nothing is fDor certain
CAs I recall you was drinking from the sancDtuary wine
Well don't wCorry baby we'll find all of our lDost time
[Chorus]
Take a look at me nGow D
Take a look at me nGow D
[Bridge]
CAs I recall you were standing there, you was hDolding your rosary beads
CEveryone around here seems to think Dhe knows what he needs
CSeven ugly reasons kept me awDay from you then
CNothing is much weaker than the rDesolve of most men
[Verse]
GI remember when we was alone in your rDoom
GStaring out your window we knew you'd be gDoing soon
And CI was so young babe I hope that you knew that DI meant well
And wChen I looked in your eyes I thought I knew you Dcould tell
GNow I'm blown back from the cemetery gatDes
GYou whom I loved dearly now I must waiDt
CTo be reunited in the sky wDhen it opens
Well my Cfeet are so tired baby but my sDpirit ain't broken
[Chorus]
Take a look at me nGow D
Take a look at me nGow D
