[Verse 1]
G             C   Em    G
 It is impossible to distinguish
    C            G
The difference between
     C           G
Pine needles and worms
       C
On the sidewalk
             G
In the early morning
D   C   G
January rain

G C Em G

[Verse 2]
G                         C
 It's just the new year's pain
Em               G
Falling from the sky again
           C                   G
Disguising living things among nonliving things
            C                G
So they get stomped just the same
     C            G               C     G
Underfoot, on the sidewalk in the early morning
D   C   G
January rain

[Chorus]
        C                                 D
But the voices in the air ask you to mourn
                 Ebdim               Em
But your so far away from how you're born
                    D
That you don't know how
                      G      C
And pretend you don't care
                                     D
You're compassionate and then you're caustic
       Ebdim               Em
You're religious and then agnostic
                 D                    G        D
You think you've found it when you've lost it

[Verse 3]
G              C    Em      G
 Trying to decipher cryptic meaning
           C                     G
But if the heart would just stop beating
         C                 G
Then the scrape would stop bleeding
            C           G
And if it's cause and effect
           C             G
Then maybe something I'm doing would stop
D   C        G
January from raining

[Riff]
G C Em G

[Chorus]
        C                                 D
But the voices in the air ask you to mourn
              Ebdim           Em
But you're so scared of being scorned
         D      G        D
That you just ignore them

[Bridge]
A  C               G
Goddammit, I don't know
A  C                 G
Goddammit, I don't know
A  C
Goddammit

[Verse 4]
G            C   Em    G
It is impossible to distinguish
    C            G
The difference between
C            G
Thoughts and feelings
       C     G
In the early morning
D   C   G
January rain
