[F] [Cm]
[C]
Where you [F] going?
With your head [C] hung down
Papers blowing [F] through the streets [C] of town
[F] They've already [C] taken all of your posters down
[Gm] Didn't take them long [F] once the orders [C] came down
Sunrise off [F] the lake [C] shining in your eyes
Shining on [F] the wasted and [C] the wise
And
[F] all you hear ringing in [Am] your ears [C] are
Those face lights
[G] That scream like the coals [C] in that smoke stained amber sky
[F] Fly back to the nest if it helps [C] at all
[F] St.
Mary of the woods in the [C] early fall
[F] Leaves are turning on the wall, dash now
[C] And the children sing for you
They [Bb] sing a song of [F] your dreams [G] come true
[C]
[F] [C]
[Eb] [C]
[Bb] [F] [C] Where you [F]
going?
Branding [C] on your breath
Bottles [F] open, spilled [C] across the desk
[F] Scepters broken,
[C] smashed against the wall
[G] Just the way [F] you're standing [C] says it all
You hung a sign [F] out, please do not [C] disturb
Your driver's [F] waiting out front [C] on the curb
[F] Write it off as [C] one [Am] more half [C]-sold show
If [G] they've already seen your best
[F] They can do [C] without the rest, don't you know?
[F] Fly back to the nest if it helps [C] at all
[F] St.
Mary of the woods in the early [C] fall
[F] Leaves are turning on the wall, dash [C] now
And the children sing for you
They [Bb] sing a song of your [F]
dreams come [C] true
