Em I came to you and you to me D And we were tapping on the window at the children when the piggy bank broke C Em Pitching quite a fit D C Em About how the makers of the medicine will always say you’re looking sick Em I came to you and you to me D And we would whimper to the women washing milk off of their formal white clothes C Em But the funny thing D C Em Was how when God was in his people we were dreaming about who else to be D C Em And all the fingers that we damaged when all we wanted was a diamond ring Em I came to you and you to me D And we were barking at the drug dogs, blood dried black on their hands C Em And never realized D C Em You never tussle with a giant til you can hit him right between the eyes D C Em And that no matter how we chewed it, we’d be choking on a compromise D C Em Cause all the jaws, all the claws lay restless by the riverside D C Em And it wasn’t muscle in the shadow that was shoving us into the light Em I came to you and you to me D And we were snatching at a war baby’s bottle just to trade it for change C Em But now it’s come to pass D C Em That every eye beneath the mountain saw the smoke but no one heard the blast D C Em That no one knew the arm was broken although everybody signed the cast D C Em And until the government was good, she said “Man, I thought you’d never ask” D C Em And when love wore out her welcome, they just booked her for a bag of grass D C Em That while she cried on the cross, we were sucking on the laughing gas D C Em And when the head had left the body, not a flag was hanging half-mast Em I came to you and you to me D And then we lost our own lovers’ revolution but it started again C Em And now we’re one D C Em One of the parade wake widows walking home into the setting sun D C Em One of the soldiers lost in the dreams that never lose the gun D C Em One of the wise men wandering the podium without a tongue D C Em One of the trophies tarnished by the mess we made of being young D C Em One of the prayers, one of the promises swallowed with our chewing gum D C Em One of the deaf ears, dumber all the time for all the years of drums D C Em One of the wide-eyed soap boxes buried under Washington D C Em One of the beat cops combing every sidewalk crack for love D C Em One of the crowded stars uncounted when the map was done D C Em One of the withered in the garden left to wonder when the rain will come
