Em                           C 
you were a phonograph, i was a kid 
G                              D 
i sat with an ear close, just listening 
Em                            C 
i was there when the rain tapped her way down you face 
G                                D 
you were a miracle?i was just holdin your space 

Em C G D 
well time has a way of throwing it all in your face 
the past, she is haunted, the future is laced 
heartbreak, ya know, drives a big black car 
swear i was in the back seat, just minding my own 

D                                              C 
through the glass, the corn crows come like rain 
Em 
they won?t stay, they won?t stay 
D 
for too long now 
Em                    C 
this could be all that we know.. 
D 
of love and all. 

Em C G D 
well you were a dancer, i was a rag 
the song in my head, well was all that i had 
hope was a letter i never could send 
love was a country we couldn?t defend. 

D                     C                                              Em 
through the carnival we watch them go round and round 
D                    C                                    Em 
all we knew of home was just a sunset and some clowns 

Em C G D 
well you were a magazine, i was a plane jane 
just walking the sidewalks all covered in rain 
love to just get into one of your stories 
just me and all of my plane jane glory
