E                  C             D
"Don't go there" I heard her say.
E                              C            G 
"You can't stomach what you're going to see"
E                       C            D
It's down there, by the water's edge
 E                       C          G    
wasted and bloated and waiting for someone else

Verse: 0:41- 0:56

E                C                D
Funny how, these things come about
E                       C               G
when you're tied to the teeth and mouth
E                     C           D 
No sound or fury, no shot of pain
           E             C       G        
there was no real reason, no gain 

CHORUS:  0:57- 1:12

I didn't do it.....I saw who did
E5                   C5/G        D5/A
Don't go down to the water's edge
E5                            C5/G     G5

It ain't no secret to me
E                   C             G 
how she got there down by the stream
E                     C      D
I'd seen her a minute before 
      E               C          G
the van pulled up and opened the door

Verse: 1:46- 2:01

E                 C           D 
I can't say a single word
E                    C     G
 about what I saw of her
E                   C                D
her killers....they got their friends

because I didn't do anything
E                C       G

G5	Bm7	Asus4

0:20- 1:43

          G5           Bm7       Asus4
There's a tall, a mulatto, boy I know

       G5             Bm7         Asus4
and he comes to every party -- he stands alone

   G5                              Bm7                 Asus4
in viewing them the rest, from the corner of his glance it gets so clear,

        G5    Bm7    Asus4	Cadd9
he's not judging anyone

G5              Bm7               Asus4
 the way his arms float around his cage, he's caged

       G5               Bm7            Asus4
canary sings, silently brings, his voice to rage

      G5                        Bm7         
the way they stop and stare, the way they turn their heads

     Asus4
it's enough to make him want to run away

    G5          Bm7         Asus4	Cadd9
but he stays he stands his ground


Chorus:  1:44- 2:23

    G          D/A        Cadd9
And I'm,  I'm so    damn lame

    G                        E5 Em7    Cadd9
the way I condescend without ever knowing his name

   G                        D/A
he keeps it in a box, hangs it from his ear

Cadd9
looks at everyone wihtout the slightest fear

G              E5 Em7    Cadd9 (hold & let ring)
it's making me so     ashamed


2:24- 3:25

G5          Bm7         Asus4
G5          Bm7         Asus4

        G5          Bm7         Asus4
slender body, slip through his glance

   G5          Bm7         Asus4
I don't give him a single chance

   G5         
the way he's rocking back and forth

Bm7
makes a buzzing in my ear

Asus4
constantly reminding me that I never stop to hear

G5       Bm7         Asus4
him say hello, hello




Chorus:  3:26- 4:04

    G         D/A     Cadd9
and I'm , I'm so damn lame

       G               E5 Em7          Cadd9
like a moth bumping off his godless flame

   G                   D/A             Cadd9
I cannot condescend or even apprehend, what comes over me

       G     E5 Em7       Cadd9
when I see his shameless face



4:05- end

   E5 Em7       Bm7        Asus4   Cadd9
so rage, please rage, against me,  beat me 

E5 Em7        Bm7   Asus4      Cadd9
down, beat me down, forgive me for what I've done, 

E5 Em7        Bm7        Asus4     Cadd9
  I'm so lame, I'm so lame, I'm so lame

  E5 Em7    Bm7   Asus4      Cadd9       Em
so lame, so,   so                        lame

0:24- 1:22
Play Rhy. Fig. 1
G                        
Indivisible, you are the 

Cadd9
one

G                                        
Impossible to hear what you say to me at night 

Cadd9
can I have some covers back? It's so cold on the wrong side of the bed

G                                               Cadd9
are you awake, are you aware, are you anything?

         G
pictures high, high above the shelf, letters from me to you, you to me, 

Cadd9
us to them, do they express, do they say 

G                           Cadd9
anything? anything at all?


Chorus:  1:23- 1:57

Em            Cadd9
I know I'm not the man of her dreams

G             
daddy said she'd marry rich, rich, richer than me

    Em              Cadd9               F                      
I know I'm not her man, but she can take anything,anything she 

G                   Cadd9
wants, anything at all


Verse:  1:58- 2:44

Play Rhy. Fig. 1
       G
Do you think it's just enough to know how I wanted you to feel

Cadd9
read things back to me, back up, see from where I am

G                                          Cadd9
there is nothing more than this, more than this

         G
Is it enough to say that I want you to keep it close to me

Cadd9                                            
me, me is all I think about, but every word you 

G                       Cadd9
say do I mean anything?




Chorus:  2:45- end

Em            Cadd9
I know I'm not the man of her dreams

G             
daddy said she'd marry rich, rich, richer than me

    Em              Cadd9               F                      
I know I'm not her man, but she can take anything,anything she 

G                   Cadd9                   G               Cadd9        G
