Everlasting Light

Ebm I was lying on the floor of the playground Gb You were chasing off a kid with a greyhound Db Bb I remember thinking you're the coolest girl I know Ebm You were swinging from the ceiling rafters Gb It fell around you in a halo of plaster Db Bb I don't go to hospitals---I let you go alone B Db I had my reasons at the time Ebm I had my reasons at the time Gb Something in the state of mind Db Gb Db Oh, everlasting light... Ebm Why's your father always calling me out, yeah? Gb There's a saying in the English South: Db Bb "You have to put your mind in gear before you drive your mouth." Ebm I got to thinking of legitimate work Gb But they found the powder in the funeral hearse Db Bb And oh! That blessed conjugal, I could not be alone B Db I had my reasons at the time Ebm I had my reasons at the time Gb Something in the state of mind B Db I had my reasons at the time Ebm I had my reasons at the time Gb Something in the state of mind Db Gb Db Oh, everlasting light... Ebm Gb Ebm Gb Db Gb Bb B Db I had my reasons at the time Ebm I had my reasons at the time Gb Something in the state of mind B Db I had my reasons at the time Ebm I had my reasons at the time Gb Something in the state of mind Db Gb Db Oh, everlasting light...
