Mrs. Potters Lullaby Chords by Counting Crows

[Cm] [Bb] [Ab] Thank you very much.
.
.
I woke up in mid [Db]-afternoon cause that's when it [Eb] all hurts the [Ab] most.
.
A dream I never know anyone at the [Db] party.
And [Eb] I'm always the [Ab] host.
.
If [Cm] dreams are like movies then [Db] memories are films about [Ab] ghosts.
You [Eb] can never escape, you can [Db] only move south down [Ab] coast.
.
I am an idiot walking a [Db] tightrope of [Eb] fortune and [Ab] fame.
.
I am an acrobat swinging [Db] trapezes through [Eb] circles of flame.
[Ab] .
If [Cm] you've never stared off into [Db] the distance, then your life is [Ab] a shame.
You know [Eb] I'll never forget your face, [Db] sometimes I can't remember [Ab] my name.
.
[Cm] Hey [Db] Mrs.
[Ab] Potter, don't [Eb] cry.
[Cm] Hey [Db] Mrs.
[Ab] Potter, I [Eb] know [Cm] I'm .
Hey [Db] Mrs.
[Eb] Potter, won't [Db] you talk to [Ab] me?
.
There's a piece of Maria in [Db] every [Eb] song that I [Ab] sing.
.
And the price of a memory is the [Db] memory of the [Eb] sorrow it brings.
[Ab] .
There [Cm] is always one last light to [Db] turn out and one last bell [Ab] to ring.
.
And the [Eb] last one out of [Db] the circus has to lock up [Ab] everything.
.
Or the elephant will get out and [Db] forget to [Eb] remember what you [Ab] said.
.
Or the ghosts of the Chilter world [Db] will linger [Eb] inside of your [Ab] head.
.
Or the [Cm] Ferris wheel junkies [Db] will spend their forever [Ab] instead.
.
And when [Eb] I see you, a blanket of [Db] stars covers me in [Ab] lava.
.
[Cm] Hey [Db] Mrs.
[Ab] Potter, don't [Eb] go.
I [Cm] said, Hey [Db] Mrs.
[Ab] Potter, I [Eb] don't know.
[Cm] But hey [Db] Mrs.
[Eb] Potter, won't [Db] you talk to [Ab] me?
.
All the blue light reflections [Db] that color [Eb] my mind when I [Ab] sleep.
.
And lovesick rejections that [Db] accompany [Eb] the company [Ab] I keep.
.
All [Cm] the razor perceptions that [Db] cut just a little too [Ab] deep.
.
Hey, I [Eb] can bleed as well as anyone, but [Db] I need someone to help me sleep.
[Ab] .
So I throw my hand into [Db] the air and it [Eb].
swims in [Ab] the breeze.
.
It's just a brief interruption of [Db] the swirling of [Eb].
sparkle jet [Ab] stream.
.
Well [Cm] I know I don't know you, [Db] and you're probably not what you [Ab] seem.
.
Oh, but [Eb] I'd sure like to find out, so why [Db] don't you climb down off that [Ab] movie screen?
.
[Cm] Hey [Db] Mrs.
[Ab] Potter, don't turn.
[Cm] Hey [Db] Mrs.
[Ab] Potter, [Eb] I'll burn for [Cm] you.
[Db] Hey Mrs.
[Eb] Potter, won't [Db] you talk to [Ab] me?
.
.
When the last king of Hollywood [Db] shatters [Eb] his glass on [Ab] the floor.
and orders another, [G] [Fm] well I wonder what [Eb] he did that [Ab] for.
.
It's [Cm] when I know [Ab] that I have to get [Db] out, cause I have been [Ab] there before.
.
So [Eb] I gave up my seat at [Db] the bar and I head for [Ab] the door.
.
We go out to the desert just [Db] to lie down [Eb] beneath this mole [Ab] of scar.
.
We stand up in the palace like it's [Db] the last of the [Eb] great pioneer [Ab] town laws.
.
Oh we [Cm] shout out these songs against [Db] the clang of electric [Ab] guitars.
.
Ah, you [Eb] can see a million miles tonight, [Db] but you can't get [Ab] very far.
.
Oh, you can see [Eb] a million miles tonight, [Db] but you can't get [Ab] very far.
.
[Cm] [Db] Hey Mrs.
[Ab] Potter, [Eb] I won't touch you.
[Cm] Hey [Db] Mrs.
Potter, [Eb] it's not much.
[Cm] But hey [Db] Mrs.
[Eb] Potter, [Db] won't you [Ab] talk to me?
.
[Cm] Hey [Db] Mrs.
[Eb] Potter, [Db] won't you talk [Ab] to me?
.
[Cm] Hey [Db] Mrs.
[Eb] Potter, won't you [Db] talk [Ab] to me?
