Make a hole with a gun perpendicular | Em C D | |
To the name of this town in a desk-top globe | Em C D | |
Exit wound in a foreign nation | E Am G C G | |
Showing the home of the one this was written for | D C D |
My apartment looks upside down from there | Em C D | |
Water spirals the wrong way out the sink | Em C D | |
And her voice is a backwards record | E Am G C G | |
It's like a whirlpool and it never ends | D C D |
Ana Ng and I are getting old | G C D | |
And we still haven't walked | C G | |
in the glow of each other's majestic presence | Bb C D | |
Listen Ana hear my words | G C D | |
They're the ones you would think | C G | |
I would say if there was a me for you | Bb C D |
All alone at the '64 World's Fair | ||
Eighty dolls yelling "Small girl after all" | ||
Who was at the Dupont Pavilion? | ||
Why was the bench still warm? Who had been there? |
Or the time when the storm tangled up the wire | ||
To the horn on the pole at the bus depot | ||
And in the back of the edge of hearing | ||
These are the words the voice was repeating: |
Ana Ng and I are getting old | ||
And we still haven't walked | ||
in the glow of each other's majestic presence | ||
Listen Ana hear my words | ||
They're the ones you would think | ||
I would say if there was a me for you |
When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge: | C D G D C | |
"I don't want the world, I just want your half" | C D G D C |
They don't need me here, and I know you're there | Em C D | |
Where the world goes by like the humid air | Em C D | |
And it sticks like a broken record | E Am G C G | |
Everything sticks like a broken record | D Am G C G | |
Everything sticks until it goes away | D Am G C G | |
And the truth is, we don't know anything | D C D |
