Start Jamming...
[N] [C#] Ah
[G#] [F#] [C#]
[D#m] [C#]
[F#] Penny, listen, [G#]
tied with your [F#] hair.
Growing [G#] long, I [D#m] was looking at [A#m] you there.
And your [Fm]
face looked [F#] wrong.
Memory is a [D#] [Fm] feckled, silent [F#]
song.
I [G#] didn't understand.
[F#] In the channel [G#] light as [F#] the morning
[G#] is, you [D#m] don't say a single [A#m] word of the [Fm] last two [F#] years.
There you were hoping [D#m] you'd [Fm] reach the [F#] frontier.
I [G#] didn't understand.
[C#]
[F#] Steel rugged [G#] hands [F#] and a silver [G#] knife.
Twenty [D#m] dollars in [A#m] your hand that [Fm] you hold so [F#] tight.
All the [C#] evidence [D#m] of your [Fm] vacant [F#] life.
[G#] Mother you were gone.
[F#] And you tried [G#] to do what you [F#] didn't [G#] before.
I've looked [D#m] over [A#m] your eyes.
[Fm] Only for [F#] more that your [C#] family [D#m] takes [Fm] you back [F#] to your [C#] original mom.
[G#]
[C#] There's nothing I can do.
There's [F#] nothing [C#] I can do.
There's nothing I can say.
There's [F#] nothing I [A#m]
can [C#] say.
I can say that I'm alive.
