G         D                Em 
      Throw the knife into the stream
            D               C
      Run away across the fields
                            D   
      Leave me lying where I fell
                          G  
      Rivers running out of me
      G         D                Em 
      Meet my Jenny in the lane
            D               C
      Take a car and run away
                          D    
      Get as far as you can get

      Before the new day


      Am                G        D 
      Your heart beats quick and strong
      Am              G       D
      Your mind pores over it all
      Am               G          D      C
      Don't worry because no one saw me fall



      G         D                Em 
      Sit inside a little chef
            D               C
      Look around but not at her
                            D   
      See my kisses on her lips
                          G  
      See my fingers in her hair
      G         D                Em 
      Think of this against your will
            D               C
      See the knife edge slipping in
                            D  
      See the questions in my eyes

      As I ask them

(spoken - no chords)
      I went so quick it makes you shudder that I'm gone
      Are we so brittle has your soul turned into stone
      And though you loved me I'm not Jenny in the night
      Some decisions don't thread back to being right



      Am                G        D 
      Your head blurs quickly tonight
      Am              G       D
      Your edges diffuse in the light
      Am                         G          D      C
      Don't tell me that your throat is getting tight


      G         D                Em 
      Change your name and find a job
            D               C
      Marry Jenny in the spring
                            D   
      Buy a dog and call him Pete
                          G  
      Push the children on the swings
      G         D                Em 
      Think about me now and then
            D               C
      Try to find a peaceful space
                            D   
      Count the days as they go by
                          G  
      Count the lines upon your face




      Am                G        D 
      Your heart beats quick and strong
      Am              G       D
      Your mind pores over it all
      Am               G          D      C
      Don't worry because no one saw me fall
