Counting Crows - Palisades park

^CSom^Gebody screamed and all of Jim Jeffries' dreams Explode into a b^Flack fist, he falls to the floor ^CHe ^Gstares up at the sky and he may wish he knew why But you can't go ^Fback there no more

^AFuture sounds so crazy We've all ^Gheard that song before ^ATomorrow's the name we change from yesterday to blame When the train just don't ^Gstop here anymore

^CI g^Got starry-eyed on the coaster ride Andy says, "man I ^Fneed a break from the world outside" These day^Cs m^Gy life just careens through a pinball machine I could do so much better ^Fbut I can't get off the tilt

And there's a ^Aphotograph on the TV Black and white ^Gand Andy says something to you ^AJack Johnson straddling Reno, Nevada like She says, "I f^Gorget myself sometimes too" ^AOut past the doorways where we are sleeping

Well, the ^Dwhite queens creep And the Tom cats peep

Now ^CI'm not breaking, The ^Dtrain's just shaking, I ^Gnever made it here before, ^{C C}There's a white mouse spinning the girls ^Daround, ^G'Til they can't take it^C anymore

I used to d^Cream in the dark of ^DPalisades park ^GUp over the cliffs and ^Cdown among the sparks ^CIt's a long life ^DFull of long nights But it was ^Anot what I was^D waiting for^{C F}Everybody's see^Emn the horses diving down the ^Ashore It's a m^Emiracle they don't make them anymo^Are.

^GSo make up ladies, wake up baby ^CYou^G walked into the bar like some Saturday star Stud-straight on s^Fpiked heels and needles and nerves, ^CYou^G're a down town pride, fully amplified Clyde, Gin-tight and ^Faging but well-preserved, Remember ^AAndy outside your bedroom window, Saying "come on, let's d^Grive across to the Palisades" Keep ^Agoing 'til we hit Reno, Nevada I don't see Andy a^Gll that much these days, Still there are p^Aages in back,

Where, the w^Dhite queens creep And the Tom cats peep and...

Now the t^Crains not braking, The t^Drack's just shaking, I n^Gever made it here before, And there's a s^Cky rocket turning the ^Dworld around, ^G'Til I can't take it any^Cmore ^CYou can carry that spark from ^DPalisades park ^GDown over the cliffs and^C out into the dark ^CIt's a long life ^DFull of long nights But it was ^Anot what I was^D lookin^Cg for ^FEverybody dreams of^Em horses flying round the s^Ahore It's a b^Emad dream we're not having anymo^Are

^GMan, Have you s^Aeen Andy? Hey m^Gan hey man! Have you seen him aro^Aund? Hey m^Gan! Have you seen my my my my my my my A^Andy? Have you ^Gseen him? x 4 Hey! Have you seen Andy aro^Aund?

^GDressed up in our pirate best All l^Aeathers and feather and pearls Andy said,^D "look at me man, I'm cooking these hands could ^GFinger up this whole world" He said, "come ^Doutside ^DClimb out your bedroom window ^CShimmy down the fire escape and say good-bye ^DCome outside" Andy says, "I'm dressed up just like ^AEdie Changing all the time my leopard spots to polka dots and ^Gsay good-bye ^DCome outside Well maybe we could ^Amove to California Just m^Ceet me at the subway and say good-bye ^DCome outside The cops all think we're c^Arazy

To a girl who'll never know y^Gou and then say good-bye ^GHey man, have you seen Andy? I l^Aost her in the sun I was ^Chigh as a kite on lovely and white Man, you could ^Glose anyone ^GHey hey man, have you seen Andy? ^AI don't know where she's gone ^CBut real love outlives teenage lust We could get wet ^Gand it keeps us warm ^DLove is like angel dust

...^Gsometimes not ^DHave you bee aching to trust or just...? ^AHave you been waking yourself with lust...? ^CHave you been making us up or just taking us^A home?

^GIt's a long wait ^CAt ^Ga long light ^CCar^Gs frozen in flight ^CAll^G the traffic stops to stare ^AAt a crosswalk in Reno, Nevada ^CWearing nothing but air And a pair of ^Agrey paper wings Andy thinks, "man, I h^Cave got nothing to wear" ^AWe got nothing new and ^CWe got nothing to wear ^CWe got nothing to wear ^CWe got nothing ^Gto wear
