Oh Precious

  E
I live in a building where nobody knows me,
                                 D
I go to bed early, I sleep in my clothes.
   A
At night I hear screaming down in the street,
                                          D  A
I dream that I'm slipping, I reach for my fe-et.

[Chorus]
B                A             E
Precious, we are falling down, catch us.
B                A             E
Precious, we are falling down, catch us.
   D   A           E
Oh no, down we go again.
   D   A           E
Oh no, down we go again.

[Verse]
  E
I fill in the holes in my vision with dexedrine,
    E
the landscape spins sideways, the movies and magazines
D
whisper as they hide on soft silky surfaces
A                                                  E
surely my neighbors and friends have ther purposes here.

    E
The building is maddening, thirty floors high
                                            D
they are building a needle that pierces the sky
       A
like a cold vaccination, like a smile through a polaroid,
A
surely my neighbors and friends want to be destroyed.

[Chorus]
B                A             E
Precious, we are falling down, catch us.
B                A             E
Precious, we are falling down, catch us.
   D   A           E
Oh no, down we go again.
   D   A           E
Oh no, down we go again.
    D    A      E
Ohh ohhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh
   D   A
Oh no, down we go, so

[Verse]
E                                                     D
Lend me a leaf from the rill, lifting the dreams from you,
                                                 E
they sift through the meshes of the ancient afternoon.
E                                                   D
Leave me alone for awhile, leave me alone with your smile,
    D                               A                               B
and listen to the breaking, all the buildings we are making will be gone.
