First Verse.
BNot one motion of her gesture could I forget
The prettiest bag lady I ever metD  
APushing her Bcart in the rain
Then gathering plastic and glass
She watched the day pass
Not hour by houDr
ABut pain by painB  
If I was a basket filled with holes
Then she was the sand I tried to hold
And ran out behind mDe
As I swung Awith some invisible hands
DI stopped believing, you start to movAe
DI stopped my leaving and the better man blooAmed
First Chorus.
B, E,  A( Dif you want)  x4
Second Verse.
BIf you're still looking for a blanket
Sweetie, I'm sorry, I'm no sort of fabric
But if you need a tailoDr
AThen take your Btorn shirt, and stumble up my stairs
And mumble your pitiful prayers
And in your tangled, knotted sleepD, our midnAight needles go to worBk
Until all comfort and fear flows in one river
Down on the shelf by the mirror where you see yourself wholDe
AAnd it makes you shiver
DI stopped believing, you start to movAe
DI stopped my leaving and the better man blooAmed
Second Chorus.

First Verse.

Not one motion of her gesture could I forget

The prettiest bag lady I ever met

A B

Pushing her cart in the rain

Then gathering plastic and glass

She watched the day pass

Not hour by hour

A B

But pain by pain

If I was a basket filled with holes

Then she was the sand I tried to hold

And ran out behind me

As I swung with some invisible hands

D A

I stopped believing, you start to move

D A

I stopped my leaving and the better man bloomed

First Chorus.

Second Verse.

If you're still looking for a blanket

Sweetie, I'm sorry, I'm no sort of fabric

But if you need a tailor

A B

Then take your torn shirt, and stumble up my stairs

And mumble your pitiful prayers

D A B

And in your tangled, knotted sleep, our midnight needles go to work

Until all comfort and fear flows in one river

Down on the shelf by the mirror where you see yourself whole

And it makes you shiver

D A

I stopped believing, you start to move

D A

I stopped my leaving and the better man bloomed

Second Chorus.
