Introduction: Dm Eb
Dm Eb Dm Gm
the long knife of the sun rising
F Bb F Bb Eb
up the horizon and into our tired eyes
Dm Eb Dm Gm
the spell of night is struck down
F Bb F Bb Eb
our second sight is bleeding out
F Bb Eb

F Bb Eb

beaten up when the sunlight comes
F Bb Eb
bullied and cut by the clock on the wall
Bb F Gm
take the morning and the chlorinous light
Bb F Gm
you can have the afternoon. bury the evening too
Bb F Gm
give me gathering calm of the night
Dm Eb Dm Eb
when the day is done and the rest is coming on
Bb F Gm
under the pitch and the pull of the moon
Bb F Gm
sweet silver medicine swim in my temples and
Bb F Gm
bring in the shadows to cover our flaws
Dm Eb Dm Eb
when the pain is gone and the rest is coming on
Dm Eb Dm Gm
you belong out of that uniform
F Bb F Bb Eb
out in the streets when everyone else is asleep

see the way the body sways
F Bb F Bb
in empty air when there's nobody there
F Bb Eb
and you don?t even care if there is
F Bb Eb

F Bb Eb
cover your shame with a shield of black
F Bb Eb
cover your body with my trembling hands

hold back the morning and her chlorinous light
Bb F Gm
have at the afternoon. bury the evening too
Bb F Gm

when the day is done and the rest is coming on

under the pitch and the pull of the moon
Bb F Gm
sweet silver medicine swim in my temples and
Bb F Gm
bring in the shadows to cover our wounds

when the pain is gone and the rest is coming on

GOLD TEETH
F#m A F#m A BmA D BmA D
all this hunger and such uncomfortable thirst
F#m A F#m A BmA D BmA D
son be suffering - it's the song of your birth
F#m A F#m A
sonny singing now - gets me thinking how
Bm A D Bm A D
everybody's dream is just everybody leaving

Bm A D
see all the young hearts leaping,
singing
A Bm F#m D
i don't want to go back to that ( X 4 )
F#m A F#m A BmA D BmA D
but all this hunger is always following us
F#m A F#m A Bm
out where we survive under poisonous skies
A D Bm A D
they're dreaming, but nobody's sleeping
Bm A D Bm A D
just coked hearts speeding, see all their gold teeth gleaming
Bm A D Bm A D
see the young healthy free men just move into nothing
A E Bm F#
put my body on a wagon
A E BmA
and carry me off to the ocean
A E Bm F#
let me float on into the eastern sun
A E Bm A
out where tomorrow has just begun
A E Bm F#
where i used to be wild, back in my time

lay me in a light that i can trust
A E Bm A
lay me in the light that i came from
E F#m C#mA
i want to go back to that ( X 6 )
DREAM
A D
come now through all of it, downtown and tenement
A D
through dark clouds. all circling our house, like a tourniquet
A D
the front door splinters in, you come down the hall, unfaltering
A D
your lips licked and shimmering, leaning in and i'm vanishing
A B F#m
i close my eyes
A B F#m
and you arrive
D
but oh it's just a dream, it's just a dream
D
but it's just a dream until you see it happening
A
in the plaza after work
D
i saw you rise up out of your collared shirts
A
on the horizon there was another world
D
we left the phantom hand and we ran for her
A B F#m
i close my eyes
A B F#m
and we're aligned
A B F#m
and that's a blinding light
D
but oh it?s just a dream,
it's just a dream,
A Bm D
but it's just a dream until you see it happening
D
and then it changes everything
A Bm
couldn't we make, couldn't we make, couldn'
