And
[Verse 5]
C G
Please, remember me
F
As in the dream
C G
We had as rug-burn babies
C G
Among the fallen trees
F
We're fast asleep
C G
Beside the lions and the ladies
Am G
That called you what you like
F
And even might
C G
Give a gift for your behavior
Am G
A fleeting chance to see
F
A trapeze
C G
Swinger high as any savior
And
[Verse 6]
C G
Please, remember me
F
My misery
C G
And how it lost me all I wanted
C G
Those dogs that love the rain
F
And chasing trains
C G
The colored birds above their running
Am G
In circles around the well
F
And where it spells
C G
On the wall behind St. Peter
Am G
So bright on cinder gray
F
In spray paint
C G
"Who the hell can see forever?"
And
[Verse 7]
C G
Please, remember me
F
Seldomly
C G
In the car behind the carnival
C G
My hand between your knees
F
You turned from me
C G
And said, "The trapeze act was wonderful
Am G
But never meant to last"
F
The clowns that passed
C G
Saw me just come up with anger
Am G
When it filled with circus dogs
F
The parking lot
C G
Had an element of danger
And
[Verse 8]
C G
Please, remember me
F
Finally
C G
And all my uphill clawing
C G
My dear, but if I make
F
The pearly gates
C G
I'll do my best to make a drawing
Am G
Of God and Lucifer
F
A boy and girl
C G
An angel kissing on a sinner
Am G
A monkey and a man
F
A marching band
C G
All around the frightened trapeze swinger
[Outro]
C G
Na, na-na
F
Na-na
C G
Na-na, na-na
C G
Na-na-na, na-na
F
Na-na
C G
Na-na-na, na-na
C
Na-na-na
