Gonna gaze and wander aimlessly

[Verse 1]

Eliza’s in the elevator

Findin’ words that rhyme with sunny

I think it’s funny how,

she just leaves funny out

Me I’m on my way downstairs

Gonna gaze and wander aimlessly

I’m gonna figure out,

What Manhattan’s all about

How I wish it would rain tonight

I’d find a good excuse to stay inside

And watch those drops come

Tumblin’ through the air

‘cause it’s been the worst year of my life

I don’t wanna live I don’t wanna die

So could you please, could you please

F C

Could you please……..grow out your hair

[Verse 2]

William plays harmonica and guitar

By the side of the sidewalk

F C

I'd love to stay and steal his melody

'Cause he hasn't got an answer to force

No one cares about his voice, no

No, not a choice

F C

Sometimes I wish that nobody loved me

And now I wish I could stab my throat

There goes your wife, your car, your home

There goes the life I've convinced myself I wanna own

And Becca you could come back to my clothes

The only note I'll hold is the one you fold

Could you please, oh could you please, oh could you please

Grow out your hair?

[Bridge]

C F C

Grow it dark and long like the winter

With no split ends, split ends are like friends

I don’t need them

And if you've got older friends

Then I suggest you listen to them

F Dm G

Cause they're all I want, the world, the fallen hope

Dm F G

All the prophets on the green grass, they're all in the window

Yeah, my life is just like religion

F G

I'm making it up as I go, oh, oh, oh.

[Instrumental break]

C Dm G G

[Chorus]

C Dm G

Well they say all bad things come in threes

C Dm

Well the last year, made the last three

Look so easy

C Dm

You were supposed to keep the disease

between you and me

so bandage up your wrist

throw away your prescriptions and,

and baby come back to me ya ahh

[Guitar solo]

C Dm G G

[Verse 3]

My legs gave in on Forty-Second,

Lord, I think it's a hint...
