[intro]
 
G6     D(9)            Em   Em(9)
   I'm waking from a dream
G6     D(9)              Em   Em(9)
   The neighborhood is green
G6           D(9)                     Em     Em(9)
   All the sounds I've missed, all the years
G6               D(9)              Em   Em(9)
   Come down to wedding death and fear
G6               D(9)            Em    Em(9)
   And all I've heard has been in vain
G6      D(9)      Em     Em(9)
   Like water on a stain
 
G          D      Am         Am
  Touch me, I'm so beautiful
          G               D            Am    Am
Rub your hands across my head just like this
           G                  D             Am   Am
Come with me now, it's not worth it if you don't
         G         D   C(9)  C(9)
Are you hiding?  I am hiding
 
Em  Em(9)  G6  D(9)    Em  Em(9)
[instrumental]
 
Cypress moon, bald in June
Like the granite in a stream
Swamp Ophelia, I'm torn down
Let your waters let me drown
 
Touch me, I'm so beautiful
Rub your hands across my head just like this
Come with me, now it's not worth it if you don't
Are you crying?  I am crying
 
 
[DOUBLE TIME]
 
G    G    C    G - D      G    G    C    G - D

[more strings]
 
G     D     C        C    G        D        C   C
Jump, jump, jump so high, watch me let you down
G      D       C       D      G    D      C      D
If I stumble, I will stumble; if I fall, I will fall
G         D            C          D     G     D       C        D
Trying to hold it like rain in a river,  everything is getting bigger
G        D     C            D
Better this won't last forever
G     D   C   C    G     D    C  C
Touch me, fall;    touch me, fall

 "trying to hold it like rain in a river" over and over...]

[instrumental]
 
Jump, jump, jump so high, watch me let you down
If I stumble, I will stumble; if I fall, I will fall
Trying to hold it like rain in a river, everything is getting bigger
Better this won't last forever
Touch me, fall
