Capo 3
[Verses]
AmYou were a Gphonograph, FI was a kid
AmI sat with Gan ear closFe, just listening
AmI was there Gwhen the rFain tapped her way down your face
AmYou were a Gmiracle I wFas just holdin your space
End of verse transition
Am 8 up down strums
F 8 up down strums
AmWell time hGas a way of Fthrowing it all in your face
AmThe past, sGhe is hauntFed, the future is laced
AmHeartbreak, Gya know, dFrives a big black car
AmSwear i was Gin the bacFk seat, just minding my own
End of verse transition
Am 8 up down strums
F 8 up down strums
[Chorus]
GAnd through the glass, the corn crows come like Crain
They wont sGtay, they wont stAmay for

This could be Gall that we Amknow..
Of lDove and all.
