Well I know your tired of waking up on the floor
C G
pushed to the edge with nothing heading home
C G
using your clothes as a blanket and a bed
C G
holding your hands just to lay your head

I know you donŐt remember ever falling down

Who picked you up, who gathered around

n/C.................................... G
You can always be your own girl
(intro)
With the sound of the feet to follow your self to sleep
Restless and ageless looking for something to keep
When you finally fall asleep your waking dreams
Hanging by the ankles in a skelaton ravine
I know you canŐt relax with felt on your shoes
Punched out the colors leaving you the blues
(chorus)
(intro)
ThereŐs a soft melody thatŐs ringing in your ears
Simple and slow and it always brings you here
With broken crayons you scribbled on the wall
Shapes of nothing, shadowbox them all
Your fingertips are broke, and your knees donŐt bend
Your imagination took the worst hit, and cut itŐs skin
(chorus)
intro (played only by organ)
ThereŐs a soft melody thatŐs ringing in my ears
It the same one you could never afford in yours
If you lay down, you can hear it tell the tales
About a tatto riverman driven by color wheels
Your knot is broken on a bottom of the rope
You canŐt tie another, another knot of hope
(chorus)
(intro)
Play chords throughout to the end of the song then...intro once
