Introduction.

B5 , B5 , B5 , B5 , B5 , B5 , B5 , B5 , D5 , A.

First Verse.

B5
Not one motion of her gesture could I forget
                                 D5
The prettiest bag lady I ever met
A5           B5
Pushing her cart in the rain

Then gathering plastic and glass

She watched the day pass
               D5
Not hour by hour
A5               B5
But pain by pain

If I was a basket filled with holes

Then she was the sand I tried to hold
                    D5
And ran out behind me
          A5                        
As I swung with some invisible hands

D5                                    A5
I stopped believing, you start to move
D5                                           A5
I stopped my leaving and the better man bloomed

First Chorus.
B5 , E5 , A5 ( D5 if you want)  x4

Second Verse.
B5
If you're still looking for a blanket

Sweetie, I'm sorry, I'm no sort of fabric
                       D5
But if you need a tailor
A5              B5
Then take your torn shirt, and stumble up my stairs

And mumble your pitiful prayers
                                  D5         A5                     B5    
And in your tangled, knotted sleep, our midnight needles go to work

Until all comfort and fear flows in one river
                                                           D5
Down on the shelf by the mirror where you see yourself whole
A5                    
And it makes you shiver

D5                                    A5
I stopped believing, you start to move
D5                                           A5
I stopped my leaving and the better man bloomed

Second Chorus.
B5 , E5 , A5 ( D5 if you want)  x8

Ending.
E5 , E5 , E5 , E5 , E5 , E5 , feedback  x4
E5 , E5 , E5 , E5 , E5 , E5 , A5 , A5 , B5   x6
E5 , E5 , E5 , E5 , E5 , E5 , A5
E5 , E5 , E5 , E5 , E5 , E!
