Em Am Bm7 Em
[Verse 1]
Em
Guard my bed
Am
While the rain turns the ditches to mirrors
Bm
Buy a vase of carnations from central Ohio
Em
Where the looking machine can't hear us
Em
Deep in the night, we dream of positions
Am
There's a line for the phone in the hall
Bm
And in the cold places where Spanish is spoken
Em
Most wars end in the fall
[Chorus]
C
You never know
G Bm7 Em
When your pet will go
G Em
Pet politics
G Em
Pet politics
G Em
Pet politics
G Em
Pet politics
[Verse 2]
Em
Still wearin' last night's mascara
Am Bm
Now that her pet was gone for sure
She was shiverin' so hard
Em
It looked like there were two of her
Em
I could see through the sleeve on her blouse
Am Bm
The plans of her architect lover
A tattoo of a boarded-up house
Em
And ink door that belonged to another
[Chorus]
C
When the rain hits you
G Bm7 Em
It hits you slow
G Em
Stitch after stitch
G Em
Stitch after stitch
G Em
Stitch after stitch
G Em
Stitch after stitch
[Verse 3]
Em
Adam was not the first man
Am
Though the Bible tells us so
Bm
There was one created before him
Em
Whose name we do not know
He also lived in the garden
Am Bm
But he had no mouth or eyes
One day, Adam came to kill him
Em
And he died beneath these skies
[Chorus/Outro]
C G Bm7 Em
I find it so amazing how
G Em
I go where I'm led
G Em
I go where I'm led
G Em
I go where I'm led
G Em
I go where I'm led
C
I suspect we could be
G Bm7 Em
Losing now
G Em
Please guard my bed
G Em
Please guard my bed
G Em
Please guard my bed
G Em
Please guard my bed
