[Bm] [D]
[A] [E] It's a song about a girl
[Em] waiting in the crowd to cross the line.
She looks [E] around to find [F#] a place [Bm] she can lie in the [F#m] line.
[Bm] [C]
[Bm] Church bells [D] clanging [A] on, trying to get a [G] crowd even [Bm] some.
Nobody cares [D] to defend the [A] pawns, the [E] chimes are playing.
[Bm]
They're all [D] in the station, praying for train, [A] congregation [G] late [Bm] again.
It's getting [D] darker all the time, [A] these [E] black days.
[Em] And a drunk old soul shall give her praise, crazy [Gm] lion is [F#] howling [Bm] for a fight.
Oh yeah, [F#m]

Door slamming [G] open, oh [D] the [Bm] [D] starling's in the jar.
[A] Yeah but the lion's the [D] maid's [E] fault.
[Bm] Or even [D] paper is a horri-torm.
[A] This poor [G] paleta, [E]
Capricorn [Bm] Her lucky [D] stars never just [E] enough [A] to get [E] her home.
[Em] The Chirino called her sweet to invite her But she's a [E] finger-clawin' [F#] stranger
[Bm] [F#m] [D]
[G] I'm [A] thinkin' about the lions [G] [A] Thinkin' about the lions
