C Am F
Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep
C
Moonlight spills on comic books
Em F
And superstars in magazines
C Am F
An old friend calls and tells us where to meet
C
Her plane takes off from Baltimore
Em F
And touches down on Bourbon street
C Am F
We sit outside and argue all night long
C
About a god we've never seen
Em F
But never fails to side with me
C Am F
Sunday comes and all the papers say
C
Ma Teresa's joined the mob
Em F
And happy with her full time job
C Am
I've been downhearted babe
F C
I've been down, I've been downhearted babe
Em F C
Ever since the day we met, ever since the day.
C Am F
Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?
C
Does summer come for everyone?
Em F
Can humans do what prophets say?
C Am F
If I die before I learn to speak
C Em
Can money pay for all the days I lived awake
F
But half asleep?
C Am F
A life is time, they teach you growing up
C
The seconds ticking killed us all
Em F
A million years before the fall
C Am F
You ride the waves and don't ask where they go
C
You swim like lions through the crest
Em F
And bathe yourself in zebra flesh
C Am
I've been downhearted babe
F C
I've been down, I've been downhearted babe
Em F C
Ever since the day we met, ever since the day.
Thanks
