Intro:

Bm


Bm
I am a bumble bee buzzing around in the hive
Bm
I need some company, I am barely alive
A                 Em        Bm
I am a crooked stack of bones
A                     Em              Bm
I was born this way and I will die alone


A        Em          Bm    A          G          Bm
The snow-covered mountain, the murder, the wedding gown
A      G       Bm           G                   
Were useful to me  only as new words to write down
G                          A
New words to write down.

         D              A
But in Atlanta in the shimmering rain
G                                        A
I was struck by a vision of your face again
    D              A
The water running down the drain
G                                            Bm
These are the days that will drive me insane

Bm
There is so much pain outside these walls
Bm
Our parents are in hospital, our siblings are at war
A                        Em                Bm
No amount of tears could clean out my eyes
A                 Em        Bm
I am drinking my way back down to the floor

A          Em          Bm    A          G          Bm
The wide Mississippi, the whisky, the Christian town
A      G       Bm           G
Were useful to me only as new words to write down
G                          A
New words to write down

      D              A
But in Atlanta in the shimmering rain
G                                        A
I was struck by a vision of your face again
    D            A
The water running down the drain
G                                            Bm
These are the days that will drive me insane

The water running down the drain
G                                            Bm
These are the days that will drive me insane

I was struck by a vision of your face again
