| 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 |
