   C                                 Em 
   Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep 
   C 
   Moonlight spills on comic books 
       Em            F 
   And superstars in magazines 
     C 					     Em 
   An old friend calls and tells us where to meet 
	C 
   Her plane takes off from Baltimore 
	Em             F 
   And touches down on Bourbon Street 

      C 	                      Em 
   We sit outside and argue all night long 
    C 
   About a god we've never seen 
       Em             F 
   But never fails to side with me 
   C                              Em 
   Sunday comes and all the papers say 
   C 
   Ma Teresa's joined the mob 
	Em             F 
   And happy with her full time job 

   C 
   Do do do do doo do 
      C		                     Em 
   Am I alive or thoughts that drift away? 
        C 
   Does summer come for everyone? 
       Em	    F 
   Can humans do as prophets say? 
	C                         Em 
   And if I die before I learn to speak 
	C 
   Can money pay for all the days 
      Em             F 
   I lived awake but half asleep? 

   C 
   Do do do do doo do x 2 

     C			                 Em 
   A life is time, they teach us growing up 
       C 
   The seconds ticking killed us all 
     Em		     F 
   A million years before the fall 
	C                                      Em 
   You ride the waves and don't ask where they go 
       C 
   You swim like lions through the crest 
	Em               F 
   And bathe yourself on zebra flesh 

   C 
   I've been downhearted baby, 
   I've been downhearted baby, 
   	          Em     F 
   Ever since the day we met 

(repeat)
