Shallow Days - Counting Crows
AMary-Jaine says its alright, she's just around the corner from the main line
Any Aday now, its alright. She's standing on the precipice of big time
And I know AI'm a little up tight. I got to go before the sun shine
We're just a couple Asmall people squeezing out a life. We need a little good time
Its not far from F#mhere. EMary comes and Dgoes. Drifting through the
F#mscenery of Eshallow days beDlow. And then as everybody knows you follow
Atrains out of town and they vanish somewhere under the horizon Yeah well I saw
Mary-JAaine drag her shadow down the tracks, stair of into the distance.
Its not far from F#mhere. EMary waves heDllo. Smiling though she's
F#msinking in the Eshallow days beDlow
BmI can't find the Dway out of F#mhere, out on the road again
I'm Bmmuch much too conDcerned about F#mMary-Jaine. I'm all alone again and
BmI like what she Dsaid, but not what it F#mmeans. She leaves me drowning through the
Bmshallow days, Ddown belowF#m  E  
I know I heard a Aband playing waltzes in a grange hall, the sun is sinking lower
People stair at Mary-AJaine humming softly to herself. Ain't nobody really knows her
And any Aday now its alright. She tells herself that this will be the last time
And Mary-AJaine pulls her hair back and wonders what she'll do with all the free time
Not too far from F#mhere. EMary turns to Dgo. Smiling while the
F#mwaltz begins to Edancin down the rDoad, hey, hey
BmHey hey Mr. DFreedom, what are F#mwe supposed to think?
Cause I'm a Bmvery tiny Dperson, and it F#mworries me, out all alone again and
BmI like what she Dsaid but not what it F#mmeans, she leaves me drowning in the
Bmshallow days Dway down belowF#m  
Hey, yeah yeah Ayeah...ooooh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeeah yeah yeah yeahD  
I'm sorry. She Asaid "I know, its not the kind of thing you want. I'm Dfalling, falling
down" I'm sorry. She Asaid "I know, I'm not the kind of girl you want We're
DfaF#mlling, Eooooooh
