G     D                   C 
Gray, quiet and tired and mean
D                    G  
Picking at a worried seam
  D                      C
I try to make you mad at me 
D
Over the phone.

G   D                 C
Red eyes and fire and signs
    D                  G
I'm taken by a nursery rhyme
  D                     G
I want to make a ray of sunshine 
    D
And never leave home

C                    D
No amount of coffee, no amount of crying
G                                  Em
No amount of whiskey, no amount of wine
A               C
No, no, no, no, no
        Em        A
Nothing else will do
                  C D          G   
I gotta have you, I gotta have you.

    Em        C                G             D           G
The road gets cold, there's no spring in the middle this year
Em      D           C                        G
I'm the new chicken clucking open hearts and ears
           D            G         D
Oh, such a prima donna, sorry for myself
    G            D
But green, it is also summer 
      C                      Em            D         G
And I won't be warm till I'm lying in your arms

G        D              G                 D               G
I see it all through a telescope: guitar, suitcase, and a warm coat
D                        Cadd9      D              G
Lying in the back of the blue boat, humming a tune...
