See, I've been here for 28 years,
[D] Patents sweat beneath these wheels,
[Eb] Tattooed lines beneath our skin,
[Bb] No surrender, my father Jean.

See, [G] I've been here for 28 years,
[D] Patents sweat beneath these wheels,
[Eb] Tattooed lines beneath our skin,
[Bb] No surrender, my [F] father Jean.
And [Gm] we've been burned by all our fears,
[D] Just from growing up around here,
Our [Bb] father's factories marked our cards,
While eating burned [C] against the stars,
And [Bb] Sally said, Sally said,
I [Gm] can't take no more regret,
It [Eb] cuts deep into our souls,
[Bb] Can't get it plumbed into [F] our head,
And [Bb] Sally said, Sally said,
[Gm] Meet me by the river's edge,
[Eb] We're gonna watch these sinners wait,
[Bb] Unless they won't come [F] back again.

[Bb]
You [Gm] know I had these ballroom dreams,
And [D] as a child came to me,
I [Eb] was a boy in grandpa's arms,
A [Bb] mother's pride and a [F] wounded heart,
And I [Gm] was full with fiery wonder,
You [D] were a tree and burned pearls,
You [Bb] were the only one who understood me,
And you're the only one [F] who will.
[Bb] Sally said, Sally said,

Meet [Gm] me by the river's edge,
[Eb] We're gonna watch these sinners wait,
Unless [Bb] they won't come back [F] again.
Now [Gm] I'm at time 101,
On [Eb] a California [Bb] night,
And [Gm] I'm amazed at all [F] the stars we meet,
[Eb] That old time we [Bb] were sad,
And [Gm] there was a valley [C] of a blue part,
[Eb] To a place we [Bb] never kept,
And [Gm] I'm not sure if [F] we belong here,
If [Eb] I never [Bb] really left or if I can [F] go on.
[Bb] Sally said, Sally said,
I [Gm] can't take no more regret,
It cuts [Bb] too deep into our souls,
Can't get it plumbed into [F] our head,
And Sally [Bb] said, Sally said,
Meet [Gm] me by the river's edge,
We're [Bb] gonna watch these sinners wait,
Or else we won't come back [F] again.
