Ramona come closer, shut softly your watery eyes

The pangs of your sadness
                              C5
Will pass as your senses will rise
    F5
The flowers of the city 
                                    G5
Though breathlike, get deathlike at times

And there's no use in trying

To deal with the dying
                                C5
Though I cannot explain that in lines

     C5
Your cracked country lips

I still wish to kiss
                                 G5
As to be by the strength of your skin

Your magnetic movements
                               C5
Still captures the minutes I'm in
       F5
But it grieves my heart, love

To see you try to be a part of
                         G5
A world that just don't exist

It's all just a dream , babe

A vacuum , a scheme, babe
                                 C5
That sucks you into feeling like this
      C5
I can see that your head has been twisted and fed
                           G5
By worthless foam from the mouth

I can tell you are torn between staying on 
                          C5
And returning back to the South
            F5
You've been fooled into thinking
                        G5
The finishing end is at hand

There's no one to beat you. No one to defeat you
                                      C5
Just the thoughts of yourself feeling bad

               C5
I've heard you say many times

You're better than no one
                          G5
And no one is better than you

If you really believe that

Then you know you?ve got
                              C5
Nothing to win and nothing to lose
     F5
From fixtures and forces and friends
                 G5
Your sorrow does stem

That hype you and type you

Making you feel 
                            C5
That you gotta be just like them

Oh ya?

C5  G5  C5  F5  G5  C5

       C5
I'd forever talk to you but soon my words
                                   G5
They would turn into a meaningless ring

For deep in my heart
                              C5
I know there is no help I can bring
F5
Everything passes, everything changes
                                  G5
Just do what you think you should do

And who knows baby, someday maybe
                           C5
I'll come and be crying to you
