Capo 4th Fret

[Instrumental]
D, Dsus2, G x 2

[Verse 1]
          A
Blue morning blue morning
                       G
wrapped in strands of fist and bone
        A
Curiosity, kitten,
                                     G
Doesn't have to mean you're on your own
                       A
You can look outside your window
            G
He doesn't have to know
              A
We can talk awhile, baby
              G
We can take it nice and slow

[Chorus]
              D                   Dsus2                G
All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
              D                   Dsus2                G
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream

[Verse 2]
         A
Are you happy when you're sleeping?
                  G
Does he keep you safe and warm?
                     A
Does he tell you when you're sorry?
                     G
Does he tell you when you're wrong?
                  A
I've been watching you for hours
                G
It's been years since we were born
                    A
We were perfect when we started
                 G
I've been wondering where we've gone

[Chorus]
              D                   Dsus2                G
All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
              D                   Dsus2                G
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream

[Verse 3]
               A
I dreamt I saw you walking
                G
up a hillside in the snow
               A
Casting shadows on the winter sky
                 G
as you stood there counting crows
                    A
One for sorrow Two for joy
                G
Three for girls and four for boys
                  A
Five for silver, Six for gold and
                G
Seven for a secret never to be told
                   A
There's a bird that nests inside you
               G
Sleeping underneath your skin
                  A
When you open up your wings to speak
           G
I wish you'd let me in

[Chorus]
              D                   Dsus2                G
All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
              D                   Dsus2                G
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream

[Bridge]
                D
Open up your eyes
                           Dsus2                G
You can see the flames, flames flames
              D
of your wasted life
                           Dsus2               G
You should be ashamed

N.C.
You don't want to waste your life, now baby
N.C.
You don't want to waste your life, now darlin'

(repeat 3x)

[Outro]
D                                G
Change, change, change

(repeat 3x)

D
I walk along these hillsides In the summer 'neath the sunshine
G
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me

(repeat 3x)

D                               G
Change, change, change

(repeat 3x)
