C
C                  G
i stood helpless to the threat
   Em         F       C
of a heavy lid i'll never lift
C                  G
and when the gavel hit the desk
Em
metal shut around me
F            C
marshals at my wrist
C                  G
led me down the longest hall
Em
down the darkest throat
   F           C
of the hardest animal
C                  G
and just listen to the wind
           Em
wailing like the wounded
        F         C
over the lincoln highway bridge
C                  G
down in the valley or in the street
            Em
don’t let the ad men fool you
     F             C
you got everything you need
C                  G
out in your sheets beside your love
Em
recognize the instant
     F       C
memorize the pose
Am C  G F Em D
Am C  G F Em D
Am C  G F Em D
Am C
C
despite all the hatred i held for you
C
despite all the violence i could do
G           Em     F      C
just beyond, there is love
C
and when i'm alone with only my thoughts
C
and as you might know, i'm alone a lot
G      Em        F       C
it's the love i'm thinking of
C               G
out in that city like a dream
                 Em
see the breezes go around you
     F          C
see the long grasses yield
C                  G
be out there exiting the bars
                  Em
at the finest hour of morning
    F             C
nearly lost, but not
C                  G
be warm and steady in the wind
                Em
and your soft, imperfect body
F       C
do not cover it
