Song For November

Em C G D Em Dry the flowers, file the sheet-music C G D Em Save me for the fire C G D Em I spent the day forgetting C G D Em The dream that woke me up C G The garden is empty D Em And I still remember why C G D Em I'm so reluctant to start it again C G Eternal November D Em C G D Em Shines through the marrow of me C G D Em I never was a very good fighter C G D Em They started me young C G D Em You always were the very best lover C G D Em That I couldn't love, yeah C G D Em The years they will make you a pretty good runner C G D Em Yeah I've been running around all of this time C G D Em Shot in the dark, down in the shadows C G D Em Waiting for when C G D Em C G D Em Yeah just waiting for when ......the coast is clear C You were running around so you'd never remember this Em D C Fear lights a fire under you C And all you leave behind are the smoke and the ashes Em D C A trail of grey and blue Em C G D G Em C G D Em C G D Em Blame me dear for any disaster C G D Em Oh how the kerosene ran dry C G D Em And we made our bed in that familiar graveyard C G D Em Between the sternum and the spine C G D Em Oh darling I think that all of the answers C G D Em Went south on the backs of those grey-winged birds C G Or slipped through our fingers D Em While we were sleeping C G D Em Waiting for when C G D Em C G D Em Yeah just waiting for when.... the coast is clear C G D Em Along the way the light is the medicine C G D Em Along the way we search for the sun C G D Em To call us down the dark corridor C G D Em Back into the world
