      C#
Blue morning blue morning
              B
wrapped in strands of fist and bone
C#
Curiosity, kitten,
                 B
Doesn't have to mean you're on your own
         C#
You can look outside your window
    B
He doesn't have to know
        C#
We can talk awhile, baby
        B
We can take it nice and slow

Chorus:
         F#                             B
All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
         F#                             B
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream

Well, are you happy where you're sleeping?
Does he keep you safe and warm?
Does he tell you when you're sorry?
Does he tell you when you're wrong?

Well, I've been watching you for hours
It's been years since we were born
We were perfect when we started
I've been wondering where we've gone

Chorus

Well, I dreamt I saw you walking
Up a hillside in the snow
Casting shadows on the winter sky
As you stood there counting crows

          C# 
One for sorrow, two for joy
           G#m
Three for girls, and four for boys
         A#m
Five for silver, six for gold
             B
Seven for a secret never to be told

But there's a bird that nests inside you
Sleeping underneath your skin
Yeah, when you open up your wings to speak
I wish you'd let me in

Chorus

              F#
Open up your eyes
                                 B
You can see the flames, flames flames
                F#
of your wasted life
                 B
You should be ashamed

Yeah, you don't want to waste your life, baby
You don't wanna waste your life now, darling
You don't wanna waste your life, baby
You don't wanna waste your life now, darling

Oh, you don't wanna waste your life now, babe
I said, you don't wanna waste your life now, darling
Oh, you don't wanna waste your life now, baby
Oh, you don't wanna
You don't wanna waste your life now, darling

Change, change, change - x3

F#
I walk along these hillsides
B
In the summer 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me
I said, I walk along these hillsides
In the summer 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me

I said, I will walk along these hillsides
In the summer 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me
I said, I will walk along these hillsides
In the summer 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight

Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change

Oh, change, change, change
Oh, change, change, change
Change, change, change change
Change, change, change, change, change
