Intro: D, Dsus2, G   x  2

      A                   
Blue morning blue morning
              G
wrapped in strands of fist and bone
    A
Curiosity, kitten,
                       G
Doesn't have to mean you're on your own
             A
You can look outside your window
      G
He doesn't have to know
       A
We can talk awhile, baby
        G
We can take it nice and slow


         D              Dsus2         G
All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
         D              Dsus2         G
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream


      A                   
Are you happy when you're sleeping?
          G
Does he keep you safe and warm?
             A
Does he tell you when you're sorry?
             G
Does he tell you when you're wrong?
            A
I've been watching you for hours
           G
It's been years since we were born
            A
We were perfect when we started
           G
I've been wondering where we've gone


         D              Dsus2         G
All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
         D              Dsus2         G
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream


         A                   
I dreamt I saw you walking
          G
up a hillside in the snow
         A                   
Casting shadows on the winter sky
          G
as you stood there counting crows
             A
One for sorrow Two for joy
          G
Three for girls and four for boys
             A
Five for silver, Six for gold and
          G
Seven for a secret never to be told
             A
There's a bird that nests inside you
          G
Sleeping underneath your skin
          A
When you open up your wings to speak
        G
I wish you'd let me in


         D              Dsus2         G
All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
         D              Dsus2         G
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream


         D        
Open up your eyes
                  Dsus2          G
You can see the flames, flames flames
         D        
of your wasted life
                  Dsus2          G
You should be ashamed


You don't want to waste your life, now baby

You don't want to waste your life, now darlin'

(repeat 3x)

D                   G
Change, change, change

(repeat 3x)

D
I walk along these hillsides In the summer 'neath the sunshine
G
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me

(repeat 3x)

D                   G
Change, change, change

(repeat 3x)
