Pretty Eyes - Silver Jews
The Natural Bridge (1996)
GEverybody wants Dperspective from a hill
Ambut everybody's wants Gcan't make it G/F#past the window sill
GI can see you in your room at night
Dthe pictures on your walls
Amlittle forest scenes and high school halloweens
but they don't cGome to you
they don't cG/F#ome to you at all
GAll houses dream in blueprints
Dour houses dreams so hard
AmOutside you can see my shoeprints
I've been dGreaming in yoG/F#ur yard
EOne of these days these days will Amend
EThe kitchen window the Amlight will bend
EYou'll be carving a pumpkin with a Amknife
Ewhen someone at the table says
G"that's not what I G/F#call a life!"
GThe elephants are so ashamed of their Dsize
Amhosing down I tell 'em "you got Gpretty G/F#eyes"
GOut in the backyard I used to Dmake like I was a cowboy
AmI'd set my dog before a hoop and say "Gnow boy, G/F#now boy!"
EWhen the governer's heart fails
Amthe state bird falls from its branch
EIcicles on hell's higher Amhills
EMeanwhile back home at the Amranch
EI still get up early in the morning
and I Gnever knew a G/F#better place
GI believe the stars are the headlights of Dangels
driving from heaven to save us Amto save us
look in the sky?
GThey're driving from heaven G/F#into our eyes
Gand final words are so hard to Ddevise
AmI promise that I'll always remember your Gpretty eyes G/F#your pretty eyes

Pretty Eyes - Silver Jews

The Natural Bridge (1996)

G D

Everybody wants perspective from a hill

Am G G/F#

but everybody's wants can't make it past the window sill

I can see you in your room at night

the pictures on your walls

little forest scenes and high school halloweens

but they don't come to you

G/F#

they don't come to you at all

All houses dream in blueprints

our houses dreams so hard

Outside you can see my shoeprints

G G/F#

I've been dreaming in your yard

E Am

One of these days these days will end

E Am

The kitchen window the light will bend

E Am

You'll be carving a pumpkin with a knife

when someone at the table says

G G/F#

"that's not what I call a life!"

G D

The elephants are so ashamed of their size

Am G G/F#

hosing down I tell 'em "you got pretty eyes"

G D

Out in the backyard I used to make like I was a cowboy

Am G G/F#

I'd set my dog before a hoop and say "now boy, now boy!"

When the governer's heart fails

the state bird falls from its branch

E Am

Icicles on hell's higher hills

E Am

Meanwhile back home at the ranch

I still get up early in the morning

G G/F#

and I never knew a better place

G D

I believe the stars are the headlights of angels

driving from heaven to save us to save us

look in the sky?

G G/F#

They're driving from heaven into our eyes

G D

and final words are so hard to devise

Am G G/F#

I promise that I'll always remember your pretty eyes your pretty eyes
