[B] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [B] That helped me to trust.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I'm going to sing [Bm] a care [Em] with a singer can be a morning [Bm] star. _
[E] Ma, look what I [Em] did, Ma, look what I [F#] did to my hands, I [E] broke them.
You gave me the stone, [Em] gave me the chisel, didn't say how to hold them.
Didn't say give away every piece of the puzzle, till [B] I was left with [E] nothing.
But I took it upon myself to crush it up and distribute the [Em] dust.
Get in the bus, hop in the van, jump in the water, cross the land.
Build another castle out of the sand, break it down and then I get into the saddle again.
Gone city to [E] city, I'm already lost [Em] to the boss who is new in town.
I'm going to ride this [E] horse till it walks me [Em] off and I'm forced to [B] shoot it down.
[E] I'm going to take him out for some [Em] gasoline, I'm going to trade this [F#] cow for some magic [E] beans.
Make Mom proud of the deals that I [Em] made, cause I'm just a modern [B] day Johnny [Em] Appleseed.
But I'm glad that I never passed the jeans and I never put down the gags.
The addled man got a check against Florida Grace and [Bm] a painful look on his [E] face.
Cause the crowd is packed and a lot of it [G] clapped unless he is able to make the [Em] connection between what he [B] sees when he hears certain [Em] notes
and the hurt that is shown in his facial expression.
I [Bm] don't [F#] need your forehead [B] to go ahead.
I know Northfield [A] is going lazy [G] but sweet Jesus [B] wants to sleep with [E] me.
Way too many moves to [Em] learn but not enough [F#] people to put him [E] on.
Look at her, no hands, [Em] I built a suit of [B] armor with wooden arms.
The voice of my love was strong, _ she lied and lay [G] down low.
A _
[Em] song [F#] in the ear while street singers care, [Em] a singer can be among songs. _
Oh God I think I'm dead, I [F#] can't see outside my [E] head.
Brains and blood and [Em] cryptic ganglions, arms and warlords breaking bread.
Northfield's law would set his head, I thought [B] that but I'm sad.
[Em] I didn't mean to think out loud, my tongue [Bm] slipped.
But who let it, [E] let it be, let me be, [Em] let me go, nah let me out.
My [E] manhood nods and whispers [Em] when my father [Bm] screams and shouts.
[Em] Dear dad [A] I'm sad you're dead, [Em] a new man standing [B] in the pulpit.
[E] He bows before a wooden [Em] cross and forces [F#] praise the culprit.
[Em] I'm a tenor in the choir but I sing a [F#] different song.
[Em] Of how the [E] where's and why's [Em] of now I'll prove [B] I don't belong.
[Em] But I'm staying, [E] I've planted [Em] seeds and plan to [B] watch them grow.
[Em] I've rewarded [E] all my wishes, [Em] dreams fulfilled, [F#] more seats to sew.
[E] And I promise to learn to [Em] love the way I [F#] learned to fear.
[E] To unknot all the [Em] inhibitions tangled [Bm] in my hair.
[E] To let my ego round [Em] and pounce around [B] the barber chair.
[E] And make a [A] graceful exit [Em] from my vexed and troubled years.
I've decided [Bm] I've been [Em] invited to my own resort.
Where knights [B] can leave their armor [Em] neatly piled [B] by the door.
And every woman, child and man will gather by the shore.
And study how sea [G] lions swim in cursive.
[B] _ _
[Em] The voice [F#] of my [G] love was _ [Em] strong.
The sea lion laying down long. _
A song in the air washed with [Bm] tinger [F#] care.
A tinger can [Em] heal a song. _ _
The voice of my love was strong. _
The sea lion [B] laying down long.
A song in the air [F#] washed with tinger [Em] care.
A tinger can be a long [E] _
song.
