G C G

Well I know your tired of waking up on the floor

C G

pushed to the edge with nothing heading home

C G

using your clothes as a blanket and a bed

C G

holding your hands just to lay your head

C.................. C/B.................. Am

I know you donÕt remember ever falling down

C........................................ D

Who picked you up, who gathered around

D..................................... C

But, you donÕt have to be his girl

D.................................. C

You donÕt have to be my girl

n/c.................................... G

You can always be your own girl

(intro)

With the sound of the feet to follow your self to sleep

Restless and ageless looking for something to keep

When you finally fall asleep your waking dreams

Hanging by the ankles in a skelaton ravine

I know you canÕt relax with felt on your shoes

Punched out the colors leaving you the blues

(chorus)

(intro)

ThereÕs a soft melody thatÕs ringing in your ears

Simple and slow and it always brings you here

With broken crayons you scribbled on the wall

Shapes of nothing, shadowbox them all

Your fingertips are broke, and your knees donÕt bend

Your imagination took the worst hit, and cut itÕs skin

(chorus)

intro (played only by organ)

ThereÕs a soft melody thatÕs ringing in my ears

It the same one you could never afford in yours

If you lay down, you can hear it tell the tales

About a tatto riverman driven by color wheels

Your knot is broken on a bottom of the rope

You canÕt tie another, another knot of hope

(chorus)

(intro)
