Am Am         G G          F F        C C  Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
You were a phonograph, I was a kid
Am Am G G F F C C Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
I sat with an ear close, just listening
Am Am G G F F C C Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
I was there when the rain tapped her way down your face
Am Am G G F F C C Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
You were a miracle I was just holdin your space


Am Am G G F F C C Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
Well time has a way of throwing it all in your face
Am Am G G F F C C Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
The past, she is haunted, the future is laced
Am Am G G F F C C Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
Heartbreak, ya know, drives a big black car
Am Am G G F F C C Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
Swear i was in the back seat, just minding my own


Chorus:

G G C C
And through the glass, the corn crows come like rain
G G Am Am
They wont stay, they wont stay for
G G C C
Too long now
G G Am Am
This could be all that we know..
D D
Of love and all.


Am Am G G F F C C Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
Well you were a dancer, I was a rag
Am Am G G F F C C Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
The song in my head, well was all that I had
Am Am G G Fm Fm C C Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
Hope was a letter I never could send
Am Am G G F F C C Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
Love was a country we couldn't defend


G G Am Am C C G G
And through the carnival we watch them go round and round
Am Am C C G G
All we knew of home was just a sunset and some clowns ohhhhhhh


Am Am G G F F C C Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
Well you were a magazine, I was a plane Jane
Am Am G G F F C C Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
Just walking the sidewalks all covered in rain
Am Am G G F F C C Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
love to just get into one of your stories
Am Am G G F F C C Cmaj7/G Cmaj7/G
Just me and all of my plain Jane glory


Fade out gradually, continuing the chords from the verse

Capo on the 1st fret. There's also a chord change in the chorus. It should be: A, D, A, Bm, G.
