[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Green world, love [G]the
chloroform.
[Am]Front porch in the thunderstorm.
[C]Controlled cha[Am]os, confused ene[G]rgy.

[Verse 2]
[G]So stop reading the weather charts.
[Am]Stop counting the playing cards.
[C]There's no system,
[Am]there's no guarantee[G]
That the [C]love you feel and carry
in[D]side can be [G]passed.
But you try, [C]I know you do you still t[D]alk
To your [G]plans.[Bm]
Ask [G]how are [Am]you getting on a[D]lone?

[Verse 3]
[G]Some wander the wilderness,
[Am]Some drink cosmopolitans.
[C]Some cold science,
[Am]some glean astro- plan[G]es.
I can't tell where the canvas stops,
[Am]
Homesick as an astronaut.
[C]Just keep drifting,
[Am]but still can't explai[G]n.
How the [C]love we feel we carry
in[D]side can be [G]passed.
See a [C]brother in the gutter
you [D]reach out your [G]hand.
Ask how are [Am]you getting on alone?

[Interlude 1]

[Em][Gaug][Em][Gaug][D][G]

[Verse 4]
What gauge measures [G]miracles?
[Am]And whose heartbeat's electrical?
[C]We feign sic[Am]kness
with our modern [G]joy.
But even Western medicine,
[Am]It couldn't save Danny Callahan.
[C]Bad bone [Am]marrow, a bald little [G]boy.
But the [C]love he feels he carries
in[D]side can be [G]passed.
He lay still,
[C]His mother kissed him goodbye[D],
[G]said 'comeback.'
Where are [Am]you going to a[D]lone?
Where are [Am]you going all alone?
