[Intro]
G Dsus4 C   x2
 
 
[Verse]
      D
Blue morning blue morning
              Cadd9
wrapped in strands of fist and bone
    D
Curiosity, kitten,
                       Cadd9
Doesn't have to mean you're on your own
             D
You can look outside your window
      Cadd9
He doesn't have to know
       D
We can talk awhile, baby
        Cadd9
We can take it nice and slow
 
 
[Chorus]
         G              Dsus4         Cadd9
All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
         G              Dsus4         Cadd9
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream
 
 
[Verse]
      D
Are you happy when you're sleeping?
          Cadd9
Does he keep you safe and warm?
             D
Does he tell you when you're sorry?
             Cadd9
Does he tell you when you're wrong?
            D
I've been watching you for hours
           Cadd9
It's been years since we were born
            D
We were perfect when we started
           Cadd9
I've been wondering where we've gone
 
 
[Chorus]
         G              Dsus4         Cadd9
All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
         G              Dsus4         Cadd9
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream
 
 
[Verse]
         D
I dreamt I saw you walking
          Cadd9
up a hillside in the snow
         D
Casting shadows on the winter sky
          Cadd9
as you stood there counting crows
             D
One for sorrow Two for joy
          Cadd9
Three for girls and four for boys
             D
Five for silver, Six for gold and
          Cadd9
Seven for a secret never to be told
             D
There's a bird that nests inside you
          Cadd9
Sleeping underneath your skin
          D
When you open up your wings to speak
        Cadd9
I wish you'd let me in
 
 
[Chorus]
         G              Dsus4         Cadd9
All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
         G              Dsus4         Cadd9
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream
 
 
 
[Bridge]
         G
Open up your eyes
                  Dsus4          Cadd9
You can see the flames, flames flames
         G
of your wasted life
                  Dsus4          Cadd9
You should be ashamed
 
 
G
You don't want to waste your life, now baby
Cadd9
You don't want to waste your life, now darlin'
 
G
You don't want to waste your life, now baby
Cadd9
You don't want to waste your life, now darlin'
 
G
You don't want to waste your life, now baby
Cadd9
You don't want to waste your life, now darlin'
 
 
  //Play softly//
 
G                   Cadd9
Change, change, change
G                   Cadd9
Change, change, change
G                   Cadd9
Change, change, change
 
 
G
I walk along these hillsides In the summer 'neath the sunshine
Cadd9
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me
 
G
I walk along these hillsides In the summer 'neath the sunshine
Cadd9
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me
 
G
I walk along these hillsides In the summer 'neath the sunshine
Cadd9
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me
 
 
  //Tempo picks back up//
 
[Outro]
G                   Cadd9
Change, change, change
G                   Cadd9
Change, change, change
G                   Cadd9
Change, change, change
