Ramona come closer, shut softly your watery eyes

The pangs of your sadness
                              C
Will pass as your senses will rise
    F
The flowers of the city 
                                    G
Though breathlike, get deathlike at times

And there's no use in trying

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

     C
Your cracked country lips

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

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

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

It's all just a dream, babe

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

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

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

               C
I've heard you say many times

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

If you really believe that

Then you know you?ve got
                              C
Nothing to win and nothing to lose
     F
From fixtures and forces and friends
                 G
Your sorrow does stem

That hype you and type you

Making you feel 
                            C
That you gotta be just like them

Oh ya?

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

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

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