[Verse 1]
There's a picture of Jesus lying in his mother's CarmsG  
Shuttered windows, cars humming on the street CbeGlow
The fountain throbbed in the lobby of the Grand CHotel
We checked into room thirty-Gthree, well wellC  G  
You were a runaway flake of sCnowG  
You were skinny and white as a wafer, yeah I knowC  G  
Sitting on the edge of the bed clicking your shoesC  
I slid my little songs out from Gunder youC  G  
[Chorus]
And we all rose from our CwonderG  
We would never admit deCfeat
And we Gleaned out of the windowC  
As the rain Gfell on the street, Con the streetG  C

[Verse 2]
They were just a sigh released from a Cdying starG  
They were runaway flakes of snow, yeah I CknowG  
They annexed your insides in a late night Craid
We sent down for drinks and something to eatG  
The cars humming in the rain on the street belowC  G  
A fountain throbs in the lobby of the Grand HoCtelG  
The spurting font of creativity, yeah I CknowG  
Your head in a pool of your own streaming hairC  
And Jesus lying in his mother's armsG  
Just so up on the wall, Cjust soG  
[Chorus]
And we all rose up from our CwonderG  
We would never admit deCfeat
And we Gleaned out of the windowC  
And watched the Ghorses in the streetC, in the streetG  C  
In room thirty-three, GyeahC  G
