C            Em
Years flew away
   F                 C
I saw her standing there
                  Em
Our last parking lot
           F      G       C
'cause we didn’t have a prayer
        Em   G             C
Liquid roses trying to confess

Chorus:
C
Don’t cry that way,
        F       C
Don’t cry that way
        G       C
Don't cry that way
        F      C       G   C
Little girl I feel so helpless

C               Em
The city far below
   F           G
I let a river pour
        C              Em
In our corner room of glass
    F            Fm
We had a sad contest
C             Em       G                F
Beneath your skin you found two rivers more

Chorus

Am                    C                   F
Do they know as they fight their way upstream
Am                           G
Have they a reason to know why?
Am                    C          F
Here we go into the analyzer’s dream
Am                           G
And when we get there do we die?

Hey, brother, count the ways that I am blessed
But I am cursed with your image as a child
Silently like Chiclets in the wild
