That means no where I come from. I am cold, out waiting for the day to come.
              C                                        F
I chew my lips, oh and I scratch my nose, feels so good to be a rose.

C
Oh don't, don't you lift me up like I'm that shy, no no no no no,
             G
just give it up –
             F          G            C
There are bats all dissolving in a row
         F              G               Am
into the wishy-washy dark that cannot let go.
C
I cannot let go, so I thank the lord, and I thank his sword!
                               G              Am
'tho it be mincing up the morning, slightly bored.
        C               F               C   G           F
O, morning without warning like a hole,  and I watch you go.

                    C                   G            F
There are some mornings when the sky looks like a road.
                     C                  G            F
There are some dragons who were built to have and hold.
                C                    G                 F
And some machines are dropped from great heights lovingly.
 C              F               C            G                     F
and some bellies ache with many bumblebees.  (and they sting so terribly).

C
I do as I please.  Now I'm on my knees.
                                G           Am
Your skin is something that I stir into my tea.
F                                   Am
And I am watching you and you are starry, starry, starry
C                            G         F
and I'm tumbling down, and I check a frown.
 C
It's why I love this town. Well, just look around:
                Am
just see me serenaded hourly!  celebrated sourly!
 F                 G                      C
dedicated dourly; waltzing with the open sea –
G               F                 G     Am
clam, crab, cockle, cowrie : will you just look at me?

Oh…                                                   Hmm
