Nearly Beloved by The Wallflowers
words and music by Jakob Dylan
G D Em
C D Em
GLast night I drDeamt one thousand lEmives
I could see the daCwn through a diffDerent set of Emeyes
GThere in my sluDmber passing tEmime
Long live the wCorld resDting on its siEmde
I walked the orCchard with yGou
Your haDnd in my Emmine
CIn the evergreGens drinking B7wine
I saw the sEmnow fall in bDlack and white from the aCuburn sGky
Last niB7ght I lived more than one thousand lEmives
Not onDe of them surGvived
Up through the earth and dawn I came
I crossed the kingdom through venom pouring rain
In the vacuum of my own brigade
Resurrected to make you mine again
Orpheus looked back once, she sailed the underworld
No second chances will be earned
I have returned as a phantom now to walk the bow and stern
Last niB7ght I lived more than one thousand lEmives
Not onDe of them surCvived
EmIf we could do better I kBmnow that we would
CMaybe admit it now, we're nGot that goDod
EmWe keep the needle between zBmero and one
CYou play your fiddle, baby, IG'll play duDmb C
Into the pastures of our minds
Goes my nearly beloved and I
Blazing two parallel white lines
Through this broken heart spilled open wide
Time might be on my side
But it's mostly far behind
I was the apple of your eye
Now I'm the boy spinning on a wheel there stuck with knives
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives
Not one of them survived
