Northern Downpour

INTRO: E A5

E                         A5
If all our life is but a dream,
                  E
fantastic posing greed.
                                A5
Then we should feed our jewelry to the sea.
             C#m          E
For diamonds do appear to be.
          C#m             A5 A
Just like broken glass to me.

E                       A5
Then she said she can't believe.
             E
Genius only comes along
                     A5
in storms of fabled foreign tongues.
         C#m                E
Tripping eyes, and flooded lungs.
           C#m              A5 A
Northern Downpour sends its love.


G#m              F#m            C#m
Hey moon, please forget to fall down.
G#m        F#m          E
Hey moon, don't you go down.

E                A5
Sugarcane in the easy morning.
       C#m      A
Weathervanes my one and lonely.


E                              A5
The ink is running toward the page,
                     E
it's chasing off the days.
                                 A5
Look back at both feet and that winding knee.
              C#m                E
I missed your skin when you were east.
                 C#m                 A5 A
You clicked your heels and wished for me.

E                            A5
Through playful lips made of yarn
                    E
that fragiled Capricorn unraveled words
             A5
like moths upon old scarves.
            C#m             E
I know the world's a broken bone,
                C#m               A5 A
but melt your headaches call it home.

G#m              F#m            C#m
Hey moon, please forget to fall down.
G#m        F#m          E
Hey moon, don't you go down.


E                A5
Sugarcane in the easy morning.
       C#m      A
Weathervanes my one and lonely. (5X)


You are at the top of my lungs.
Drawn to the ones who never yawn.
