[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ This is called the crayon song.
It goes out to a girl long ago [E] and far away. _

_ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ It's 3 a.m. and [G#m] the _ conversation's spent.
_ [A] She's waiting [E] on the bedside, [A] wrapped within the [B] static wind.
And [E] she's got powders and pills, [G#m] chasing thrills through dollar bills.
Tracing [A] lines off [E] her reflection with [A] her senses [B] so distilled.
[C#m] As she drifts on through [F#] this [B] dream.
_ She [C#m] can share her [F#] medication, but she [C#m] can't outrun the rain.
When [A] clearly, here she [E] stands, with candy in her hands.
[A] She offers up [E] the pixie [A] dust and separates [B] the sand.
And I'll [A] say, it's [E] alright, [A] no need to [E] ask me twice.
[A] She spins the ring [E] so she can [G#m] sing the [C#m] crayon song tonight.
[A] She's gonna [B] sing the crayon [E] song tonight.

_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ When she calls, you can [G#m]
find her in the hall.
Where [A] she's scribbling [E] a picture, she [A] hangs crooked [B] on the wall.
She's [E] framing _ false alarms until [G#m] her chambermaids have gone.
[A] Then she'll sleep [E] beside the music box whose [A] tune [B] keeps playing on.
Her [C#m] _ behavior seems [B] insane.
_ _ [E] Cause we both know [B] you might overdose [C#m] from trying to kill the pain.
But [A] lately, [E] here we stand, [A] with candy [E] in our hands.
[A] Let's mix us [E] up some pixie [A] dust and sprinkle [B] on the sand.
We'll [A] just say, it's [E] alright, [A] till once turns [E] into twice.
[A] Let's spin the ring [E] so we can [G#m] sing the crayon [C#m] song tonight.
[A] We're gonna [B] sing the crayon [E] song tonight.
_ _ _ [C#m] I'm off to wander [A] with my _ [E] lover in her bag of [B] _
pretty _ [C#m] colors.
Off to [A] wander with my lover [E]
in her bag [B] of pretty _ [A] colors.
_ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _
Fan the flame and [G#m] erase another day.
She'll [A] be running [E] all the red lights till the candles [B] melt away.
Along [E] this empty road where [G#m] the flowers never grow.
[A] Casting [E] shadows drenched in sorrow from [A] a life she'll [B] spend alone.
[C#m] Until the sunshine sets [B] her free.
_ It [E] appears that [D#m] you've been down so [C#m] long it looks like up to me.
But [A] sadly, here [E] I stand with candy in my hands.
[A] I'm mixed up [E] with the pixie [G#m] dust [A] and sinking [B] in the sand.
And [A] something's not quite [E] right.

Sometimes you [E] should think twice.
[Am] I spun the [E] rings and now I'll [G#m] sing the crayon [C#m] song all night. _
