G Em C Am Em C Am C G

[Verse]
G    Em      C   Am
Once upon a blue thing or two
Em   C   Am           C             G
Eyes and sighs, and a moon confused
G            Em         C      Am                 Em
We heard the sparks fly and we watched their lies
Em        C          Am       C         G
Some died in retreat, some in jealousy

[Interlude]
G Em C Am Em C Am C G

G        Em      C       Am
You know boredom breeds, temptation in its wake
Em         C       Am       C             G
But do you look at what temptation's done
G            Em                  C                Am            Em
The spirit's here in the hollow, a message at the bottom of the bottle
Em      C              Am           C              G
Oh, the sky tonight is gray, oh the quiver and the quake

[Chorus]
G          Em             D
We cheered away a goodbye rye
     C                G     D
Then bled on down the road
D            C
But when the buzz was over, man
                      G
It was getting cold

[Interlude]
G Em C Am Em C Am C G

[Verse]
       Em        C          Am
Oh the years are slow, so I lie alone
Em     C           Am    C          G
Do you want your name to burn away?
        Em          C       Am         Em
Oh, but lies aside, honey, will I ride
  C             Am     C       G
Along and through and over you?

[Chorus]
G     Em     D      C              G
Sleep shame, Reno's low behind in flames
D            C
So with your misty mist and your low land frame
          D            G
Won't you sleep shame?
