[C] [Cm] [Eb] [Cm]
[Eb]
You were a phonograph I was a kid [Cm] I sat [Eb] with an ear close just listening
[Cm] Was there [Eb] when the rain tapped away down your face?
You were a miracle I was just holding your space
[Cm] World time has a way of [Ab] throwing [Eb] it all in your face [Cm] The past, [Eb] she is haunted, [Ab] the [Eb] future is laced
Heartbreak, you know, drives a big black car I swear I was in the backseat just minding my own
[Cm] Through
[Eb]
[Bb] the glass the corn crows come [Eb] like rain They [Bb] won't stay, they [Cm] won't stay
[Gm] Too long [Eb] now, this could [Bb] be all that [Cm] we know [F] Of loving [Fm] all
[Cm] Well, you were [Eb] a dancer and I was a rag [Cm] The song in [Eb] my head was all that I had
Hope was a letter I never could send Well, love was a country we couldn't defend
[Bb] Through the
[Ab] carnival we watched [Eb] them go round [Bb] and round
All we knew [Ab] of home was [Eb] just a sunset and some [Bb] clowns
Well, [Cm] you were [Eb] a magazine [Ab] and [Eb] I was in plain Jane Just walking the sidewalks covered in rain
Love to just scatter some of your stories Me and all of my [Ab] [Eb] plain Jane glory
[Cm] [Eb] [Ab] [Eb] Just [Cm] me and all of my [Eb] plain Jane [Cm] glory
