Tom: E5

E5
In still water she lies down
D5
Shaking in the press of sunlight
A5
We roll into Lexington
E5
She shakes off a drop of daylight
E5
Water beating up her chest
D5
Bleeding down between her knees
A5
Rivers in Kentucky flow
E5
Between the bluegrass wavy seas
     D5       E5
But oh, Margery
D5                    A5              E5
Twist the blade once more inside of me
E5
Breathless with anticipation
D5
Baited breathers set their hooks
A5
Tuck their heads beneith the high grass
E5
Lie and wait beside the brooks
E5
For instance, pushing slowly through
D5
Frustration leading back along
A5
The allies of a childhood
E5
That will not release us willingly
     D5       E5
But oh, Margery
D5                   A5                E5
Sticks the knife in while I couldn't see
F#5  E5  F#5  E5

     E5
So dust me off and shut me down
      D5
I'll dream of where I haven't been
A5
Close the door inside my heart and
E5
Stuff in the South Atlantic wind
E5
I have hollow eyes
D5
Haunting only to myself
D5
Even so I can't stop calling
E5
Great big hollows in myself
            E5
I took the train from California
       D5
To the far side of the continent
A5
Woke up in Kentucky 
        E5
Where a wedding was about to end
E5
I looked up at Anna
           D5
She turned back to look at me
             A5
It's best to kill the ones that matter
       E5
Render blind the ones who see
     D5       E5
But oh, Margery
D5                   A5               E5
Takes the blade and walks away from me
D5          E5
Oh, Margery
D5                    A5              E5
Love, like blood, is pouring out of me
D5        E5
Oh, Margery
D5                   A5            E5
My heart wont stop bleeding over me
F#5  E5   F#5   E5

D5                   E5
Oh, I can't shut it in
         D5            A5                  E5
It's got far too many doors to block the wind
D5                   E5
Oh, I can't shut it in
         D5            A5                   E5
It's got far too many doors to block the wind
D5                   E5
Oh, I can't shut it in
         D5            A5                  E5
It's got far too many doors to block the wind
