Maybe I Don't Know You
Em
Em
What's that dress you're wearing, baby?
G
I never seen that dress before
Em
G
And tell me, what'd you do with your hair?
D
G
C
Is it somethin' new, somethin' you were gonna surprise me with?
G
D
Em
C
Maybe I don't know you like I thought I did
G
D
Em
Maybe I don't know you like I thought I did
Em
G
G
What's that music you're listening to, babe?
Em
I never heard you listenin' to that before
G
Em
I never heard you playin' that song before
D
Em
C
Is it somethin' new or just somethin' you always hid?
G
D
Em
C
Maybe I don't know you like I thought I did
G
D
Em
Maybe I don't know you like I thought I did
C
G
You came to me for understanding and tenderness
C

But instead I met you with indifference
D
And I can't explain

Last night we took a drive

Something In The Well
Am
Woke last night to that same sound
C
G
First, I thought it was you breathin'
F
Got out of bed and went to the window
C
G
Just as a cloud rushed 'cross the moon
Am
C
Baby, baby, there's something in the well
C
G
There's something in the well
Am
C
Lately I've been watchin' that corner of the field
Out where the old black willow fell
Things can seem so safe and sure
But you can never really tell
Baby, baby, there's something in the well
Something waiting in the well
Am
Am
C
Now I boarded it up myself back a lotta years
It's too long a story to tell
There was no more sadness, no more tears
And since, I've guarded it well
Am
C
Oh, there's some secrets that should never be told
There's some words that should never be said
Now, I know there's things in this world, baby
Should stay locked up forever inside our heads
Baby, baby, there's something in the well
There's something in the well
F
Folks in town forgot, now they don't much care
C
Am
See, quiet years passed, but I could still feel it there
F
Snow melted off the fields, summer crops came through
C
G
Still, it stayed silent, then I met you
Am
Well, last night, darling, I did sleep
Naked on the dark spring ground
The leaves in the trees came alive and spoke to me
And I could feel the dirt 'neath me movin' 'round
Am
Hey, the well was torn open and I stared down
Into the muddy darkness, my black tears fell
Stars spread their false light on the earth
Moon slipped from the sky and fell
Am
C
And my love for you came rushin' forward
And my fear and hatred as well
Hell, things can seem so safe and sure
But you can never really tell
Am
There's something in the well
Am

Waiting On The End Of The World
We loved each other like a disease
I came to you crawlin' on my knees
Your eyes were filled with rain
I could feel the poison runnin' through my veins
I'm waitin', I'm waitin', I'm waitin'
Waitin' on the end of the world
I'm waitin', I'm waitin'
For one deadly kiss, what would we give?
Your skin tremblin' 'neath my fingertips
All I know is someday
For love, baby, everybody pays
I'm waitin', I'm waitin', I'm waitin'
Waitin' on the end of the world
I'm waitin', I'm waitin'
We hide from the truth in our hearts
One look and everything would fall apart
Here in your arms a soft decay
I can feel myself wastin' away
Will you meet me in the halls
Where light scatters and darkness falls?
Here in this feast of friends
A breath and we begin again
I'm waitin', I'm waitin', I'm waitin'
Waitin' on the end of the world
I'm waitin', I'm waitin', I'm waitin'
Waitin' on the end of the world
I'm waitin', I'm waitin', I'm waitin'
Waitin' on the end of the world
I'm waitin', I'm waitin', I'm waitin'
Waitin' on the end of the world
I'm waitin', I'm waitin'
The Little Things
She said we could just sleep together
There'd be nothing wrong
Yeah, we could just hold each other with our clothes on
I went to answer
"I don't think we should"
Then I heard a voice say, "Yeah, I guess we could"
She kissed me lightly
Said, "You know sometimes when you're down
It's the little things that count
It's the little things that count
It's the little things"
She smiled and said something stupid
But I didn't hear a sound
She put on her lipstick and I watched her mouth
She said it was too late
And I shouldn't try to drive
She unbuttoned my shirt and whispered, "Just close your eyes"
"Let me take your boots off
You know, sometimes, when your luck's run out
It's the little things that count
It's the little things that count
It's the little things"
Her dress rode lightly as she walked
Then she pulled the covers down
I was so dry
She held the water glass to my lips
The polish on her nails was chipped
She said she had a boyfriend I reminded her of
His hair was the same muddy brown
She stuck her tongue in my mouth
We Fell Down

3 a.m. had come and gone

You walked in and I knew by that dress you had on

That we fell down, we fell down

I shoulda known when I asked where you'd been and I heard you lie

That we fell down, we fell down
F
C
F
C
That was just, just your way of saying goodbye
We got a book with pretty pictures all in a row
There's only one missin', baby, that I know
Yeah, that's the one of you and I
The one where we're lookin' each other in the eye
Yeah, we fell down, we fell down
You said things get lost, no matter how hard you try
Yeah, we fell down, we fell down
Well, that was just your way of saying goodbye
Bb
I woke in the mornin' cold and gaspin' for air
F

Everything seemed broken; broken beyond repair
Bb
The party ribbons and balloons had fallen to the floor

I get up in the mornin' and get dressed for work
Yeah, I comb my hair and button my shirt
And I walk home 'neath a sky hard and blue
Well, these are the things that I gotta do
Since we fell down, we fell down
And I asked if you loved me, you said course you did and sighed
Yeah, we fell down, we fell down
But I knew that was just your little way of sayin' goodbye

Come one beautiful morning when we rise
Nobody really knows
What happens when someone dies
We look for the answers here
There are no words, there are no prayers
We give our hearts to mystery
We give our souls to mystery
And spirit flies
Come one beautiful morning
Come one beautiful morning
Come one beautiful morning when we rise
Your spirit lifts me on high
I watch myself in a troubled sleep
Your steps fall at my side
We wake in the morning with promises to keep
We give our souls to mystery
We give our hearts to mystery
And the river sighs
Come one beautiful morning
Come one beautiful morning
Come one beautiful morning when we rise
Come one beautiful morning
Come one beautiful morning
Come one beautiful morning when we rise
Between Heaven And Earth
That's me, layin' there, starin' at the ceiling
I've gotten so good at concealin' from you
All my troublesome emotions
I'm a lost ship out on the ocean, a kiss
I drift between heaven and earth
Between heaven and earth (Between heaven and earth)
That's you, a little-girl smile on your face
Callin' me through the window of your grace
A thief, I stumble about half blind
Just to wake in the morning, and I'm in your arms
I slip between heaven and earth
Between heaven and earth (Between heaven and earth)
That's us holding on each other's wings
Midst all those beautiful things
That's us, we reach for each other's heart
And slowly fall apart
That's us, sunlight driftin' through the house
Your hand as you smooth your blouse
That's us, the kids in the kitchen eatin'
Midst all the noisy clatter of the evenin'
We fall in each other's arms
Between heaven and earth
Between heaven and earth (Between heaven and earth)
Between heaven and earth
Between heaven and earth (Between heaven and earth)
Farewell Party
She rode a '48 Panhead hardtail
First time I seen her she was skiddin' over a bed of nails
On the skin 'neath her left sleeve bloomed three roses
We held a farewell party at the station
There in the hour of her transfiguration
It was a fifth of tequila, bouquet of azaleas
Don't we all dream of a life somewhere
Untouched by our failures?
We mixed our blood together in the sand
Found a little house down off the Calle Grande
Slept on a bed of scarred spirits and twisted bones
I loved her like it was a disease
I came crawlin' on my knees
'Til you had me waist deep and sinkin' in your river of doubt
You change your name and your face
But here your fears find you out
They come like old ghosts in the night
Lead us away from our own blessed light
To strip away the love our darkness veils
Leave us with nothin' but blood and skin beneath our nails
Tonight I got your '48 up, two kicks and she starts
I'm rushin' out 'neath a canopy of empty stars
All I'm thinkin' of is you, babe
Well, those three roses come back to me again
Like you, me, and what might've been
Pushin' out past the desert bars and lettuce farms
Wind in the mesquite comes rushin' over the hilltops
Straight into my arms
