Lost Verses Chords by Mark Kozelek

[E] _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _
[E] _ _ _ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _
[E] _ I came out from under a worm's sheet _
Into the brisk late [G#m] October
If [E] _ only for a big glass toe _
_ I wanted my time with you to be
_ _ I'm staring up into the sky
[A] [E] While all that's raining is pouring down
_ I'm reaching out for your hand
_ _ But evil beams
All _ _ _ shapes and shadows
_ _ Never [F#m] rise
[E] _ [C#m] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ Voices _ arriving
I _ want to [B] talk [C#m] to them
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ Darkness disintegrates
I'm rising, I'm [A] rising [C#m] toward
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ A light leading over those in the dark _ _
_ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] I've _ [E] _ _ [A] _ [E] _
_ risen up from the dead
With _ the burning leaves of [G#m] autumn
If [E] _ only for one last [A]
chance
[E] At all of whom I've been defeated
[G#m] [E] To put on my father's woe coat
To smell my mother's
Fragrances and [B] [E] perfumes
To find my young brothers and sisters
_ To never leave
How _ _ _ sings the dawn so beautifully
The [A] mooring hand [C#m] and the [B] sun
_ [E] _ _ [G#] Lost for a [E] tissue of my eyes and ears
The lone man known [C#m] as [E] strong
_ _ _ [B] On [E] ten or past one's dreams
The many [A] [E] places [C#m] [E] we've been
_ _ _ _ _ Lay down in [C#m] sleepy [E] hidden shadows
I _ [B] _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ [E] see you well and clear
Deep in the moonlight
You raid in August skies
They are [A] the songs that rise
[C#m] [E] They are the light that lies
In these lost [A] verses
_ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[A] _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ [E] I [A] came _ [E] _ up [A] from under [E] the ocean
_ _ _ _ Evaporated sea salt water
_ A mist above the skyline
I haunt the streets of San Francisco
Watch _ [A] over loved [E] ones and old [A] friends
[E] I see them through their living [B] windows
_ [E] Shaken by fear and worries
_ I want them to know how I [G#m] love them so
[E] _ [C#m] [E] Foghorns will sound and wake you
Is it my [A] [E] voice [C#m] you [E] hear?
_ _ _ _ [B] [E] Footsteps moving across the floor
And you [A] [C#m] know I'm here
[E] _ _ _ _ Darkness to see my great summer
_ Rising [F#] toward [C#m] the light
[E] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ A [E] light leading over hills and meadows _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ I [E] feel you oh so when morning [A] dawns
[E] And gods of April [A] echo
Soon [C#m] _ [E] finding their place in these lost verses
[C#m] [E] They _ _ _ [A] fill the foggy [E] desert
Hiding _ that steel [A] locked eye
They [G#m] are the [E] picturesque sky
The casted [A] city lights
[E] On the bay floor to the ocean
[A] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I gotta ask a question.
_ _ [C] _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well I don't know, do you guys appreciate me or what?
[N] Do you appreciate me? _ _
Alright.
No I'm just, I'm asking because
I'm just asking
No I'm just, no I'm asking because I was on the Amtrak
And I met a woman on the Amtrak and I felt like a homeless guy
With all my bags of merch and guitars
And she said where are you coming from?
I said DC and she said you're playing in New York tonight?
I said yeah and she said well God you're carrying around all this shit
I hope people appreciate you
_ And I said yeah I hope they do too
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [N] _
