[Em]
[Am]
[Bm]
[Em]
Guard my bed while [Am] the rain turns the ditches to mirrors.
[Em] By [Bm] a vase of carnations from central Ohio, [E] where the looking machine can't hear us.
[Em] Deep in the night, we dream of positions.
[C] There's a line for the phone in the [Am] hall.
And [Bm] in the cold places where Spanish is spoken, [Em] most wars end in the [E] fall.
[C] You never know when [G] your pet [F#m] will [Em] go.
Pet politics, vet politics, vet politics, vet politics.
Still wearing last night's mascara, now [Am] that her pet [C] was gone for sure.
[E] [Bm]
She was shivering so hard, [Em] it looked like there were two of her.
I could see through the sleeve on her blouse, [C] plans of her architect lover.
[E] A [B] [Bm]
tattoo of a boarded up house [E] and a door that [Em] belonged to another.
[C] When the rain hits you, [G] it hits you [Em] slow.
[G] [Em] Stitch after stitch, stitch after stitch, stitch after stitch, stitch [E] after stitch.
[Em] Adam was not the first man, [Am] though the Bible tells [Em] us so.
[Bm] There was one created before him, [Em] whose name we do not know.
He also lived in the garden, [C] but he had no mouth or eyes.
[A] [Bm] One day Adam came to kill [Em] him, and he died beneath these skies.
[C] I find it so [G] [D] amazing [Em] how
I go where I'm led, I go where I'm led, go where I'm led, [G] go [E] where I'm led.
[C]
I suspect we could be [G]
losing [Em] now.
[G]
Please [Em] guard my bed, [G] please guard my [Em] bed,
[G] please [Em] guard my bed, [G] please [E] guard my bed.
