The tigers come at four, shave light the curtains and [Am] the floor, like the [G] stars they once were
[C] wild and cold.
You turn to see me, I can't believe it's really [Am] you.
[G] Sharpening [C] your teeth on my low.
[F] [Am] [Eb] Laying with tigers, [F] tracing [Eb] the landscape [A]
with my [C] toes.
[Dm] [C]
[F] [C] Laying [Eb] with tigers, [F] till I [A] find out where [C] we go.
[F] [C]
[F] [C]
You check your coat, you come and lay with me awhile.
In the Seattle [G] of dreams, we [C] are sleeping in the yard.
Up the brick, carrying brightly colored gold.
When they play on [F] you, [G] it's the light from [C] the street below.
[F] Laying [Eb] with tigers, [F] [Eb] tracing [A] the land [C] with my toes.
[F]
[C] [F] Laying [Eb] with tigers, [F] till I [A] find out where [C] it go.
Where it go.
[F] [C]
Where it go.
[F]
[C]
Laying with [F] tigers, [C]
[F] tracing [C] the land with my toes.
I tried to leave you, but you sent all the cars to bring me back.
Tigers falling like they found out the way.
The [F]
[C] tigers fall,
[F] and the mail blowing out of the mailbox down [C] the street.
Laying with tigers, sleeping on tigers.
Laying with tigers.
[G]
And here [Gb] we go.
[Fm] [F]
Climbing up the brick to your [Gm] window, using the sharpen of what you said.
[C] Yeah, yeah.
There I go, folding my paper [Gm] up.
[C]
I can't tell you when it will be.
[Bb] [C] [Gm]
[C] Tomorrow when the trains [Bb] come, [C] I'll tell you more.
Tomorrow when the trains come, [Gm] [C]
[Bb]
[C] I'll leave it with you, Dylan.
Yeah.
