Counting Crows - Palisades park

^C#Some^G#body screamed and all of Jim Jeffries' dreams Explode into a b^F#lack fist, he falls to the floor ^C#He s^G#tares up at the sky and he may wish he knew why But you can't go ^F#back there no more

^A#Future sounds so crazy We've all ^G#heard that song before ^A#Tomorrow's the name we change from yesterday to blame When the train just don't ^G#stop here anymore

^C#I go^G#t starry-eyed on the coaster ride Andy says, "m^F#an I need a break from the world outside" These day^C#s my^G# life just careens through a pinball machine I could do so much better ^F#but I can't get off the tilt

And there's a ^A#photograph on the TV Black and white ^G#and Andy says something to you ^A#Jack Johnson straddling Reno, Nevada like She says, &quo^G#t;I forget myself sometimes too" ^A#Out past the doorways where we are sleeping

Well, the ^D#white queens creep And the Tom cats peep

Now ^C#I'm not breaking, The ^D#train's just shaking, I ^G#never made it here before, ^{C# C#}There's a white mouse spinning the girls a^D#round, ^G#'Til they can't take it ^C#anymore

I used to d^C#ream in the dark of ^D#Palisades park ^G#Up over the cliffs and ^C#down among the sparks ^C#It's a long life ^D#Full of long nights But it was ^A#not what I was ^D#waiting for ^{C# F#}Everybody's seen^F the horses diving down the ^A#shore It's a m^Firacle they don't make them anym^A#ore.

^G#So make up ladies, wake up baby ^C#You ^G#walked into the bar like some Saturday star Stud-straight on s^F#piked heels and needles and nerves, ^C#You'^G#re a down town pride, fully amplified Clyde, Gin-tight and ^F#aging but well-preserved, Remember ^A#Andy outside your bedroom window, Saying "come on, le^G#t's drive across to the Palisades" Keep ^A#going 'til we hit Reno, Nevada I don't see Andy a^G#ll that much these days, Still there are p^A#ages in back,

Where, the w^D#hite queens creep And the Tom cats peep and...

Now the t^C#rains not braking, The t^D#rack's just shaking, I n^G#ever made it here before, And there's a s^C#ky rocket turning the w^D#orld around, ^G#'Til I can't take it anym^C#ore ^C#You can carry that spark from ^D#Palisades park ^G#Down over the cliffs and ^C#out into the dark ^C#It's a long life ^D#Full of long nights But it was ^A#not what I was ^D#looking ^C#for ^F#Everybody dreams of ^Fhorses flying round the s^A#hore It's a b^Fad dream we're not having anym^A#ore

^G#Man, Have you s^A#een Andy? Hey m^G#an hey man! Have you seen him aro^A#und? Hey m^G#an! Have you seen my my my my my my my A^A#ndy? Have you ^G#seen him? x 4 Hey! Have you seen Andy aro^A#und?

^G#Dressed up in our pirate best All l^A#eathers and feather and pearls Andy said,^D# "look at me man, I'm cooking these hands could ^G#Finger up this whole world" He said, "^D#come outside ^D#Climb out your bedroom window ^C#Shimmy down the fire escape and say good-bye ^D#Come outside" Andy says, "I'm dressed up just ^A#like Edie Changing all the time my leopard spots to polka dots and ^G#say good-bye ^D#Come outside Well maybe we could ^A#move to California Just m^C#eet me at the subway and say good-bye ^D#Come outside The cops all think we're c^A#razy

To a girl who'll never know y^G#ou and then say good-bye ^G#Hey man, have you seen Andy? I l^A#ost her in the sun I was ^C#high as a kite on lovely and white Man, you could ^G#lose anyone ^G#Hey hey man, have you seen Andy? ^A#I don't know where she's gone ^C#But real love outlives teenage lust We could get wet ^G#and it keeps us warm ^D#Love is like angel dust

...^G#sometimes not ^D#Have you bee aching to trust or just...? ^A#Have you been waking yourself with lust...? ^C#Have you been making us up or just taking us ^A#home?

^G#It's a long wait ^C#At a^G# long light ^C#Cars^G# frozen in flight ^C#All ^G#the traffic stops to stare ^A#At a crosswalk in Reno, Nevada ^C#Wearing nothing but air And a pair of ^A#grey paper wings Andy thinks, "man^C#, I have got nothing to wear" ^A#We got nothing new and ^C#We got nothing to wear ^C#We got nothing to wear ^C#We got nothing t^G#o wear
