[Verse 1]
C
Eliza’s in the elevator
C
Findin’ words that rhyme with sunny
F
I think it’s funny how,
C
she just leaves funny out
C
Me I’m on my way downstairs
Gonna gaze and wander aimlessly
F
I’m gonna figure out,
C
What Manhattan’s all about
Dm
How I wish it would rain tonight
F
I’d find a good excuse to stay inside
And watch those drops come
C
Tumblin’ through the air
Dm
‘cause it’s been the worst year of my life
F
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]
C
William plays harmonica and guitar
C
By the side of the sidewalk
F C
I'd love to stay and steal his melody
C
'Cause he hasn't got an answer to force
C
No one cares about his voice, no
No, not a choice
F C
Sometimes I wish that nobody loved me
Dm
And now I wish I could stab my throat
F
There goes your wife, your car, your home
C
There goes the life I've convinced myself I wanna own
F
And Becca you could come back to my clothes
Dm
The only note I'll hold is the one you fold
F
Could you please, oh could you please, oh could you please
C
Grow out your hair?
[Bridge]
C F C
Grow it dark and long like the winter
F
With no split ends, split ends are like friends
C
I don’t need them
F
And if you've got older friends
Dm
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
Dm
Yeah, my life is just like religion
F G
I'm making it up as I go, oh, oh, oh.
[Instrumental break]
C DmG G
x4
[Chorus]
C Dm G
Well they say all bad things come in threes
C Dm
Well the last year, made the last three
G
Look so easy
C Dm
You were supposed to keep the disease
G
between you and me
C
so bandage up your wrist
Dm
throw away your prescriptions and,
G
and baby come back to me ya ahh
[Guitar solo]
C DmG G
x4
[Verse 3]
C
My legs gave in on Forty-Second,
Lord, I think it's a hint...
