VERSE:
I was hGolding my breath
when the tightrope walker slipped into the moon glow
sayin' G/Call my children follow me
maybe its time to goG
you can be cG/Ahrome when you're G/Ewise
you can be G/Awise when you're bGlue
and baby G/Aif I G/Ehave
then I G/Ahave for yGou
VERSE:
Bribin' the jury to keep me in jail
singin' tea for the tiller man
and although I lie fantastically
i swore an oath on my history
It's a miracle I can see
You can be wrong when you're right
even when you're right on cue
and if I die tonight
then I die for you
VERSE:
All I know is they call me son
great grandson, and grandson
great uncles, aunts and relatives
that judge what I have done
gonna make it right by you
even if it's all I do
And if it's all I do
well then I do it for you
(part B of intro)
People will raise a whole lotta hell
about the water and the windmill
And although I stab chaotically
it hurts no one but me
even the darkness has arms
but they aint got you
and baby I have it
and I have you too
CHORUS:
and a Cmaj7light in the wGindow
to G/Apass the night tEmhrough
you make meCmaj7 so unceGrtain
but G/Awhat can ICmaj7 do
KEm/Beepin itCmaj7 on
KEm/Beepin itGmaj7 on
and i Cmaj7know i lGike it but G/Awhat does that pEmrove
someCmaj7times I wGorry I don't know G/Ahow to love yGou
(Parts A and B of intro, then instrumental break)
Verse:
I was breakin the law with a nine pound hammer
when the straw hit the Whip-poor-will
down in Lodi, Ohio I did
hungry enough to kill
wherever the white dog goes
he goes unseen
and he sees below
and he knows your dreams
VERSE:
I bring to you with reverent hands
all the books and my lullabies
the kind woman that my passion wore
like the shoreline wears the tides
Maybe the water went dry
keepin' an eye on you
and with an eye on you
it could drown me too
VERSE:
People will raise a whole lotta hell
about the water and the windmill
And although I stab chaotically
I swore an oath on my history
its a miracle i can see
even the darkness has arms
but they aint got you
and baby I have it
and I have you too
CHORUS:
and a Cmaj7light in the wGindow
to G/Apass the night tEmhrough
you make meCmaj7 so unceGrtain
but G/Awhat can ICmaj7 do
KEm/Beepin itCmaj7 on
KEm/Beepin itGmaj7 on
and i Cmaj7know i lGike it but G/Awhat does that pEmrove
someCmaj7times I wGorry I don't know G/Ahow to love yGou
