A "Come outside," she said to me As if I knew just what she'd say "Come outside, we'll watch tomorrow G Pull the curtain on today" A "Come outside into the tall grass And the old corn and the shit Come outside, oh child Into the wild G and weep for it" A# C A And all along I know I don't know the why And it takes me through the meadows And I have got a rifle on my arm And the rabbit won't stop shaking But the life is gone And there is blood upon the clover And, oh god, his eyes are open wide Staring up at me and infinity And the shrinking English sky And all along I tell myself I don't know the why A# And as the idea ossifies C A I can't believe it's mine Dm I make a change C He is wordless and silent Gm And he says, "Just close my eyes" Dm I have one eye open to the rain C And one pressed to the ground again Gm And I don't know why A# And I don't know why F And I don't know why C Gm No, they don't know why A# No, they don't know why F C No, they don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, know Gm Oh, she takes a train to Paris A# For a weekend with a friend F They take you places, trains and summers C At 200 miles an hour Gm That you've never been A# Did I ever say F The way your breath C Takes mine away? Gm As I stare out at the grassland A# Past the living and the dead F Matter forming and decaying C A perpetual uprising Gm Let there be a revolution A# And a light to lead us on F Just a ball of souls revolving C Spinning circles 'round the sun Gm For the infinite and ageless A# For the meaningless and painless F For the times we shook like rabbits, C felt like children made us ask this Gm Can you see me? A# Can you see me? F Oh, can you see me? Can you see me? C Can you see me? Gm Hey, can you see me? A# For I am changing F C But all the same things just come back to haunt me Gm A# There are trains that can take a girl to Paris F C There are planes that could bring you home Gm A# There are some of us get broken when we're children F C And you never get it back once that is gone And I don't know why No, I don't know why No, I don't know why No, I don't know why No, I don't know why | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  A#  C  Dm  F  G  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
