{intro} 
  

G5                 E5    
   I'm waking from a dream 
G5                   E5    
   The neighborhood is green 
G5                                E5      
   All the sounds I've missed, all the years 
G5                             E5    
   Come down to wedding death and fear 
G5                           E5     
   And all I've heard has been in vain 
G5            E5      
   Like water on a stain 

  
G5          D5      A5         A5 
  Touch me, I'm so beautiful 
          G5               D5            A5    A5 
Rub your hands across my head just like this 
           G5                  D5             A5   A5 
Come with me now, it's not worth it if you don't 
         G5         D5      
Are you hiding?  I am hiding 

  
E5    G5      E5   
{instrumental} 
  
Cypress moon, bald in June 

Like the granite in a stream 

Swamp Ophelia, I'm torn down 

Let your waters let me drown 
  
Touch me, I'm so beautiful 

Rub your hands across my head just like this 

Come with me, now it's not worth it if you don't 

Are you crying?  I am crying 
  
{DOUBLE TIME} 
G5    G5    C5    G5 - D5      G5    G5    C5    G5 - D5 
{string break; not sure about the chords} 
G5    D5 - C5 {hold}     G5    D5 - C5 {hold} 
{more strings} 

  
G5     D5     C5        C5    G5        D5        C5   C5 
Jump, jump, jump so high, watch me let you down 
G5      D5       C5       D5      G5    D5      C5      D5 
If I stumble, I will stumble; if I fall, I will fall 
G5         D5            C5          D5     G5     D5       C5        D5 
Trying to hold it like rain in a river,  everything is getting bigger 
G5        D5     C5            D5 
Better this won't last forever 
G5     D5   C5   C5    G5     D5    C5  C5 
Touch me, fall;    touch me, fall

Trying to hold it like rain in a river, everything is getting bigger 
Better this won't last forever 
Touch me, fall
