D
So Miss Bottom of the Hill what do you want?
G
The sun is shinin' and your lovers always lose you in the dark
Bm
And they were all chosen to remember how the sparrows hit the window
G A
That you closed to keep the cat out in the yard
D
And like your body bein' dragged behind the moon
You bring a memory of your mother like the money in your shoe
Bm
And how her penetratin' wisdom, her bulletproof religion
G A
Always rip you like a wool off of the loom
D
You floated farther than you ever meant to go
And only now see you are naked when the wind began to blow
Bm
No trespass unforgiven
G A
Just a river with no pity for your boat
G A
I've come to know that I was stealin' all your kisses on the evenin'
D Bm
The dogs were loose and lyin' on the street
G
You've learned to blend into the choir
A
How to hold your hand in fire
D A Bm
And what to say instead of what you mean
G A
But the trouble it saves for just how hard it can be
D
You met the women gluin' jewels onto a crown
G
You know men hidin' in the city and their way of bein' found
D
And you got nothin' on your shoulders
Bm
Still there's nothin' too much colder
G A
Than a rubble of a house that's fallin' down
D
Like a baby cryin 'til it fal ls asleep
G
The autumn's over by the time you count the color of the leaves
G
You're paintin' buzzards on the ceilin'
Bm
Fallin' faithless at the healin'
G A
With your friends around you wailin on their knees
G A
And I've come to know that I was stealin' all your kisses on the evenin'
D A Bm
The fog had swallowed everything but us
G
You've learned to balance on the cable
A
Drink us all under the table
D A Bm
And who to try instead of who you trust
G A
With a hand on your heart that threw you under the bus
D
So Miss Bottom of the Hill, what do you want?
G
The sun is shinin' and you cleaned your pretty pistol of a heart
D
But when you talk about tomorrow
Bm
When to beg and when to borrow
G A
Is how to hit the ground before you hear the shot
D
And like a fish too deep and driftin' in the sea
G
You've grown accustomed to the blindness lookin' up and anxiously
D Bm
But there's a stone inside your pocket while you're plowin' through the market
G A
But you know even the time it takes ain't free
G A
I've come to know that I was stealin' all your kisses on the evenin'
D A Bm
The stars were barely hangin' in the sky
G
You've learned to eat when you're not hungry
A
How to laugh when nothin's funny
D A Bm
And what to get instead of gettin' by
G A
But oh, how it changes with the passin' of time
D
You heard so many voices hidden in the wind
G
See all the children of the world and how its fingers reach for them
D
Two branches tired of their bendin'
Bm
I don't see our story endin'
G A
Quite as clean as it was easy to begin
D
Like a hole that let the fox under the fence
G
You've got no solace and no sanctuary you can recommend
D
Beggin' for mercy at the bedside
Bm
We got frozen in the headlights
G A
But our kind of mercy never made much sense
G A
I've come to know that I was stealin' all your kisses on the evenin'
D A Bm
But both were disappearin' in the waves
G
You've learned to lead the one you follow
A
How to spit out what you swallow
D A Bm
And when to hand instead of give away
G Fm A
That secret of ours is one I'll take to the grave
E
So Miss Bottom of the Hill what do you want?
A
The sun is shinin' and I think you want me more often than not
E
But like your father in the garden
C#m
I won't finish what I started
A B
'Til you bill me for the flowers I forgot
E
And like a curse too old for anyone to care
A
You said to meet you on the mountain cause you never make it there
E
And sucked your thumb along the highway
C#m
Proudly promisin' that one day
A B
I'd miss the way we tumbled down the stairs
A B
And I've come to know that I was stealin' all your kisses on the evenin'
E C#m
The car was gently glidin' off the road
A
You've learned to rise above your body
B
How to never say you're sorry
E C#m
And where to go instead of going home
A B E
With th e light by the bed and all the clothes you've outgrown
