[Intro]
D G D Bm G Ax2
[Verse 1]
So Miss BDottom of the Hill what do you want?
The sun is sGhinin' and your lovers always lose you in the dark
And they were all chosen to remember how the Bmsparrows hit the window
That you cGlosed to keep the cat out in the Ayard
And like your Dbody bein' dragged behind the moon
You bring a memory of your mother like the money in your shoe
And how her penetratin' wisdom, her Bmbulletproof religion
Always Grip you like a wool off of the lAoom
You fDloated farther than you ever meant to go
And only now see you are naked when the wind began to blow
There's no advice that you've been missin'
No tBmrespass unforgiven
Just a Griver with no pity for your Aboat
[Chorus]
I've come to kGnow that I was stealin' all your Akisses on the evenin'
The dDogs were loose and lyin' on the Bmstreet
You've learned to Gblend into the choir
How to Ahold your hand in fire
And wDhat to say Ainstead of what you Bmmean
But the trouble it Gsaves for just how hard it can Abe
[Verse 2]
You met the Dwomen gluin' jewels onto a crown
You know men hGidin' in the city and their way of bein' found
And you got nDothin' on your shoulders
Still there's Bmnothin' too much colder
Than a rGubble of a house that's fallin' Adown
Like a bDaby cryin 'til it fal ls asleep
The autumn's oGver by the time you count the color of the leaves
You're paintin' Gbuzzards on the ceilin'
Fallin' fBmaithless at the healin'
With your Gfriends around you wailin on their kAnees
[Chorus]
And I've Gcome to know that I was stealin' all your kAisses on the evenin'
The Dfog had swallowed Aeverything but Bmus
You've learned to Gbalance on the cable
Drink us Aall under the table
And wDho to try iAnstead of who you Bmtrust
With a hand on your Gheart that threw you under the Abus
[Verse 3]
So Miss DBottom of the Hill, what do you want?
The sun is Gshinin' and you cleaned your pretty pistol of a heart
But wDhen you talk about tomorrow
When tBmo beg and when to borrow
Is how to hGit the ground before you hear the Ashot
And like a Dfish too deep and driftin' in the sea
You've grown Gaccustomed to the blindness lookin' up and anxiously
But there's a Dstone inside your pocket while you're Bmplowin' through the market
But you kGnow even the time it takes ain't fAree
[Chorus]
I've Gcome to know that I was stealin' all your Akisses on the evenin'
The Dstars were barely Ahangin' in the Bmsky
You've learned to eGat when you're not hungry
How to lAaugh when nothin's funny
And wDhat to get iAnstead of gettin' Bmby
But oh, how it Gchanges with the passin' of tAime
[Verse 4]
You heard so Dmany voices hidden in the wind
See all the Gchildren of the world and how its fingers reach for them
Two branches Dtired of their bendin'
I don't sBmee our story endin'
Quite as cGlean as it was easy to bAegin
Like a Dhole that let the fox under the fence
You've got no sGolace and no sanctuary you can recommend
Beggin' for Dmercy at the bedside
We got fBmrozen in the headlights
But our Gkind of mercy never made much Asense
[Chorus]
I've come tGo know that I was stealin' alAl your kisses on the evenin'
But bDoth were dAisappearin' in the wBmaves
You've learned to Glead the one you follow
How to sApit out what you swallow
And Dwhen to hand iAnstead of give Bmaway
That secret of oGurs is one I'll take to the FmgraveA
B
[Verse 5]
So Miss EBottom of the Hill what do you want?
The sun is sAhinin' and I think you want me more often than not
But like your Efather in the garden
I won't fC#minish what I started
'Til you Abill me for the flowers I Bforgot
And like a Ecurse too old for anyone to care
You said to Ameet you on the mountain cause you never make it there
And sucked your Ethumb along the highway
Proudly pC#mromisin' that one day
I'd Amiss the way we tumbled down the sBtairs
[Chorus]
And I've come to kAnow that I was stealin' all your Bkisses on the evenin'
The Ecar was gently gC#mlidin' off the road
You've learned to Arise above your body
How to nBever say you're sorry
And Ewhere to go instead of going C#mhome
With th e light by the Abed and all the clothes you've outBgrownE
A E C#m A B E
