Parson Red Heads

G
Sometimes the people that you meet 
in your life can seem
          Em              C       
Just like characters that populate
      Em              Am
 some quiet childhood dream.
G
it's so easy to get caught up in 
just one poetic line,
          Em                 C
While the Parsons have their cross 
to bare,
Em     Am       G
I know I've got mine.

G
And it's a quiet night in Silver 
Lake, all the people crowd this 
scene.
          Em               
Well they look so much like 
 C                  Em         
cardboard cut-outs placed upon a 
   Am
screen,
G
And I feel this sinking feeling as 
Missy grabs my hand,
       Em                   
And we lose ourselves in the 
 C              Em          Am   
harmonies, the white-robed beauty
          G
 of this band.

G
(Aaaahh Ooooohhh...)

G
And the singers all cry as she 
whispers in my ear,
      Em                C     
and I stare down at the ground, 
          Em            Am
holding tightly to my beer,
G
Do you feel the strain between us, 
yeah I know I feel it too,
      Em                 C        
And I wish I believed in anything 
   Em          Am             G
as much as the Parson Redheads do.
  Em                 C           
I wish I believed in anything as 
Em          Am             G
much as the Parson Redheads do.
