[Intro]
Cmaj7 E Am A#dim7 C#dim7 Edim7
Dm Dmmaj7 Dm7 G C
[Verse]
CDon't touch my vein with your new needle
E7Don't be afraid of the pine beetle
AmJust rest assured that there will be A#dim7a - nother day too
DmAnd maybe here and maybe not
Dmmaj7And I'm not sure of all we've got
A Dm7season ticket to the war for G7the human heartC  
[Verse]
CSo let us gather by the light
E7Some people have, some people might
AmI hold you in my mind tonight A#dim7to great distraction
DmAnd tender is my sleepy bed
Dmmaj7Night club me in my sleepy head
Dm7And eating dinner with your friends
By G7their cabin on the lakeC  
[Chorus]
A#dim7And has it really been this long since we were free
DmI will now hold my head up Dmmaj7high
And Dm7I will walk into the light
G7Erasing every trace in sight of Cevery memory
[Verse]
CSo what's your problem, what's your beef?
E7I've got this gap between my teeth
AmAnd but for this I might have been a A#dim7different man
DmAnd by your watch some time will pass
Dmmaj7And buy your wine from glass to glass
Dm7And I have seen the coming of G7our precious LordC  
[Chorus]
A#dim7We all unfold our pages from right to left
DmSome day I'll get a used guiDmmaj7tar
Dm7And on its strings I'll try to play
G7This lonesome tune to Cyou
[Verse]
CWe all have sinned, we all have saved
E7And much of this our true heart gave
AmWe all have given to our grave A#dim7our own excesses
DmSo watch me blow in two somehow
Dmmaj7Part Clair de Lune, part sacred cow
Dm7I am ready for my close up G7with the LordC
