_ _ It's 3am and [Ab] the _ _ _ conversation's spent _
[A] She's waiting [E] on the bedside [Abm] [A] wrapped within
the [B] static wind And [E] she's got _ powders and pills
Chasing [Ab] thrills through dollar bills _ [A] Tracing lines [E] off her reflection
With [A] her senses [B] so distilled [Dbm] As she drifts on through _ [B] this dream _ _
_ She [E] can share her [Ebm]
medication But [Dbm] she can't outrun the rain
When [A] clearly _ here [E] she _ stands [A] With candy in [E] her hands
_ [Am] She offers [E] up the pixie dust [A] And separates [B]
the sand
And I'll [A] say, _ [E] it's alright _ [A] No need to ask me [E] twice
She [A] spins the ring so [E] she can sing [Ab] The crayon [Dbm]

she calls you can [Ab] 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 Till [Ab] her _ chambermaids have gone
Then [A] she'll sleep [E] beside the music box [A] Whose tune keeps [B] playing on
[Dbm] Her _ _ behavior _ seems [B] _ _
insane _ _ Cause [E] we both know you [Ebm] might overdose
[Dbm] From trying to kill the pain But [A] lately _ here [E] we stand
[A] With candy in [E] our hands [A] Let's mix us up [E] some pixie dust
[A] And sprinkle [B] on the sand We'll just [A] say, _ it's [E] alright _
[A] Till once turns [E] into twice [A] Let's spin the [E] rings and we can [Ab] sing
The crayon [Dbm] song tonight _
[A] We're gonna [B] sing the crayon [E] song _ tonight _ _ _ _
[Dbm] I'm off to _ [Abm] wander _ [A] _ with my _ _ [E] lover In her _ bag of [B] _ _ pretty _ _ [Dbm] colors
_ Off to _ wander _ _ with my lover [E] _ _ In her _ bag [B] of _ pretty _ _ [A] colors
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ Fan the _ flame [Ab] and erase another day _ [A] She'll be running all [E] the red lights
[A] Till the candles [B] melt away Along [E] this _ empty road
Where [Ab] the flowers never grow _ [A] Cast in shadows [E] drenched in sorrow
From a life she'll [B] spend alone Until [Dbm] the _ sunshine sets _
[B] her free
_ _ It [E] _ appears that [Abm] you've been down so [Dbm] long It looks like up to me
But [A] sadly _ [E] here I stand [A] With candy [E] in my hands
I'm mixed up with the pixie dust [A] And sinking [B] in the sand
And [A]
something's not [E] quite right _ _
[A] Sometimes you [E] should think twice
[A] I spun the [E] rings and now I'll sing [Ab] The crayon [Dbm] song all _ night
_ _ _ [A] We're gonna _ [B] sing the crayon [E] song tonight _ _
_ _ _ [Dbm] I'm off to _ wander _ _ with my _ [E] lover
In her _ bag [B] of _ pretty _ _ [Dbm] colors _ Off to wander [A] _ _ with my _ [E] lover
In her _ bag [Abm] of _ pretty [B] _ _
colors
