[G] [D]
[A]
[D] When [E] the river bends and [B] runs dry
She closes [D] her eyes
And licks her [E] ear to the shirt
[B] And listens to [A] the hollow water
[D] Light and shade
The mirror
Uh-huh
Has [G] [A] stopped
[D] He can't hear her Uh-uh
She stops in a box Apparently
She's unhurt
And with a little bit of change
Ooh, feels good
She washes her wings in the dirt
The bar is filled with angels
Cause the world is turned upside down
[E] [D] All of you have been walking on your head
Since the day your feet touched the ground

[E] When [D] he knocks on the door
Someone show him how
I've seen him before
I know him somehow
Why does he stick to my fingers?
Why does this look [B] like his soul?
[D] They could just make him a heaven or hell
Why don't they?
I don't know
[Em]
[D] What do they want with these angels?
Why don't they take them to Reno?
Nobody ever comes for them
They're all inside of the casino
[Em]
[D] Look at them poking like flightless birds
Falling from paper plates
Oh, oh, oh
The heavenly earth bound
But the spirit cannot wait
[Em]
