G               D
Everybody wants perspective from a hill
Am                    G             G/F#
but everybody's wants can't make it past the window sill
G
I can see you in your room at night
D
the pictures on your walls
Am
little forest scenes and high school halloweens
                G
but they don't come to you
            G/F#
they don't come to you at all

G
All houses dream in blueprints
D
our houses dreams so hard
Am
Outside you can see my shoeprints
           G            G/F#
I've been dreaming in your yard

E                                 Am
One of these days these days will end
E                      Am
The kitchen window the light will bend
E                                  Am
You'll be carving a pumpkin with a knife
E
when someone at the table says
G                  G/F#
"that's not what I call a life!"

G                                     D
The elephants are so ashamed of their size
Am                              G      G/F#
hosing down I tell 'em "you got pretty eyes"
G                             D
Out in the backyard I used to make like I was a cowboy
Am                                    G        G/F#
I'd set my dog before a hoop and say "now boy, now boy!"

E
When the governer's heart fails
Am
the state bird falls from its branch
E                        Am
Icicles on hell's higher hills
E                          Am
Meanwhile back home at the ranch
E
I still get up early in the morning
      G            G/F#
and I never knew a better place

G                                         D
I believe the stars are the headlights of angels
                               Am
driving from heaven to save us to save us
look in the sky?
G                           G/F#
They're driving from heaven into our eyes
G                              D
and final words are so hard to devise
Am                                       G           G/F#
I promise that I'll always remember your pretty eyes your pretty eyes
