^DmGuard my bed while the ^Dmrain turns the ditches to mirrors ^Ebuy a vase of carnations from central Ohio ^Dmwhere the looking machine can't hear us

^DmDeep in the night we dream of positions ^Dmthere's a line for the phone in the hall ^Eand in the cold places where Spanish is spoken ^Dmmost wars end in the fall ^FYou never know where your ^Cpet ^Emwill ^Dmgo ^Cpe^Gt ^Cpo^Gli^Cti^Gcs^Dm

^DmStill wearing last nights' mascara ^Dmnow that her pet was gone for sure ^Eshe was shivering so hard ^Dmit looked like there were two of her

^DmI could see through the sleeve of her blouse ^Dmthe mute plans of her architect lover ^Ea tattoo of a boarded-up house ^Dmand ink door that belonged to another ^FWhen the rain hits you it ^Chits ^Emyou ^Dmslow ^Cst^Git^Cch^G a^Cft^Ger^Dm stitch

Adam was not the first man 'though the Bible tells us so There was one created before him, whose name we do not know He also lived in the garden but he had no mouth or eyes One day Adam came to kill him and he died beneath these skies I find it so amazing how I go where I'm led (x2)

^FI suspect we could be ^Clo^Emsing ^Dmnow ^Cpl^Gea^Cse^G g^Cua^Grd^Dm my bed (x3)
