Among the Leaves Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][Em]
[D][A][Em]
[D][A]

[Verse 1]
[A]A pillow
lays on cold cement
[Em]A blanket by a broken vent
She's there [D]a while
And then she's [A]gone

[Verse 2]
I'm [A]away for weeks
Arrive at night
She [Em]hears my steps
Turns off the light and runs
[D][A]

[Verse 3]
No mind at all, more space than I need
[Em]It's just me among the weeds
Amon[D]g the ghosts
Among [A]the leaves

[Verse 4]
We've [A]never met but she's a girl
Ro[Em]mance paper books
The floor is covered
[D]In long blonde cur[A]ls

[Verse 5]
On af[G]ternoons I [D]walk the graves
[G]The rusted[Bm] cars, the mine shaf[A]t caves
[G]See a girl [D]sadly unkempt
[Bm]A child of[Asus4] neglect
[A]

[Verse 6]
[G]Under moons I [D]pass the tombs
[Bm]Cross the highways, [A]smell the fumes
[G]See a girl [D]frighteningly gaunt
[Bm]Somebody [A]didn't want
How [Em]do I tell her I don't care
If she sleeps downstairs?
[A]

[Interlude 1]
[Em][D][A]
[Em][D][A]

[Verse 7]
[A]I see
her on my errand runs
[Em]Looking nervous like a young
[D]Mia Farrow[A]
Walk along the gas stops
[Em]Window browsing pawn shops
[D]Guns, bows and [A]arrows
Up on past the Halfway house
[Em]Past the signs Eighty South
[D]Buttercup [A]and Carrows
Drinking Wild Irish Rose
[Em]At the dead end of the road
Sleep[D]ing with [A]the sparrows

[Verse 8]
When even[G]ing comes I [D]play guitar
[Bm]For the planets [A]and [Asus4]the stars
[G]I leave the[D] porch light on
[Bm]Like I do [A]when I'm gone
[G]Winter, spring, sum[D]mer,
[Bm]fall
Basement's yours, [A]have a ball
There's [Em]always room for you there

[Outro 1]
Really baby I don't care
[A][Em][D][A]
[Em][D]
[A][Em][D]
[A][Em][D]
[A]
