[D]
I found an [G] old rock [A]
in the dry dirt [G] outside the door [A] of my [D] motel room.
It was a triangle [G] with soft rounded edges [D] and a split down the middle of [G] one corner.
It was darker than [Em] anything.
[D] Green like the [G] soft frills of a peacock's plume.
I waited [A] for you, [D] but I never told you [G] where I was.
[Bm] Because you [A] taught me how to write these kinds of [B] equations.
[G] I waited on the steps [A] for you, and I hid in the bushes [G] whenever a car pulled into the parking lot.
[E] [A] You taught me how to listen [Bm] to these distant [G] [B]
[G] stations.
[Bm]
[A] [D]
[G] [D] I saw the sky [G] break.
I threw a [A] rock at a crow who was playing in the mulch of some [N] rose bushes by the motel.
