CHORDS: D G Em A

(#1)

D
Spiders are singing in the salty breeze
G
Spiders are filling out tax returns
D
Spinning out webs of deductions and melodies
G
On a private beach in Michigan

(#1)

D
Why can't they wish their kisses good
G
Why do they miss when their kisses should
D
Fly like winging birds fighting for the keys
G
On a private beach in Michigan

Em                         A
This recent rash of kidsmoke                (this part you play #2)
Em                                 A                       Em
All these telescopic poems
     G
It's good to be alone

(#1)

D
Why can't they say what they want?
G
Why can't they just say what they mean
D
Come clean, listen and talk
G
Hello private callers, IDs blocked

D
The sun will rise, we'll climb into cars
G
The future has a valley and a shortcut around
D
Who will wear the crown of drowning award
G
Hold a private light on a Michigan shore

Em                                   A
You fool me with a kiss of kidsmoke     (this part you play #2)
Em                                 A            Em
From a microscopic home
      G
It's good to be alone

(#3)


I'll be in my bed

You can be the stone

That raises from the dead

And carries us all home?


There's no blood on my hands

I just do as I am told
