F#             B
Magpie comes a calling
 
        F#     C#
Drops a marble from the sky
 
  
    F#
Tin roof sounds alarm

Don?t let this fading summer pass you by


                    B 
Black hands held so high

The vulture wheels and dives



Something on the thermals yanked his chain


             B F#                   C#        G#m 
Smelled your boring apex rotting on the train tracks


                            F#
He laughed under his breath Because you 
 
 
                 B 
thought that you could outrun sorrow



Take your own advice

Thunder and lightening gets you rain

Run an airtight mission, a Cousteau expedition

To find a diamond at the bottom of the drain 

  
             F#            B
A diamond at the bottom of the drain

In the middle of the night 


    B      F#                  B  
All of his songs are stolen so he hides  
 

F#             B 
Stole them out from whiporwills
 
 
F# 
Screaming car alarms



He sings them for you special
 

                              B 
He knows you?re afraid of the dark
 

F# 
Come on sorrow


B             F#
Take your own advice 
 

               B
Hide under the bed
 
 
F#           B 
Turn out the light 


           F#           B       F# 
Stars this night in the sky are ringing out  


C#      B                F# 
You can almost hear them saying  


                     G#m
"Close your eyes now kid"
