[Bm] [D]
The sky is falling and the ground is reaching up
The river's going by and the water's getting high
And I feel like giving [G] up
Standing in the dapple with these rainy day [D] crossbows
Got no food, no less, city on my [A] right
Don't want to sleep alone at [D] night again
Girl, I know
Holding my coat, holding my shoes
Sitting in the mall just singing the blues about you
Yes, I am
[G] Some
[D]
of them people call my house
Almost every day
Won't let a body concentrate
Gotta get some peace that way
[G] Watching party water rise
And think I'll put my guitar [D] in my trunk
Yes, I will
Cause I'm struggling with [A] the music
I'm a wild fairy
[D] Lay it down in that sand
Just a wicked wild fairy
Stole my honeybees
Lord above and the devil below
[F] Everybody [D] inside of me
Think about my God, maybe that will set me [F] [D] free
Cause Lord, Lord, Lord
A trap inside of me [G] Innocent darling
Lord, she's your daddy [D] this way
I got quite a lot of questions
[A] And there's a mighty hard [D] place
Yes, it is
Cause you brought these ladies
To cross the blues my way
I can't take it no [A] more
