Intro: Em C Em C Em She's a swan in the city C She belongs to the melody line Em Every push is a promise C Every pull is a bottle of wine Em I'm a gull in the gutter C I belong to the clutter and rain Em She's a swan in the city C And I let her get away G G/F# Em C I should be gone, and on to another fair maiden by now G G/F# Em C Shoot for the spring, put wing to the water and soar out of this town G G/F# Em C But I'll be here when the winter trades the color for the white D And she'll be gone and on to another sky Em C Em She is lost to the lions C She believes in the heavier things Em Every kiss has a cadence C Every kill has the courage of kings Em I'm a sheep to the slaughter C I'm asleep in a watery grave Em She is lost to the lions C And I let her get away G G/F# Em C I should be gone, and on to another fair maiden by now G G/F# Em C Shoot for the spring, put wing to the water and soar out of this town G G/F# Em C But I'll be here when the winter trades the color for the gray D And she'll be gone and on, she'll be gone and on G G/F# Em C I should be gone, and on to another fair maiden by now G G/F# Em C Head for the south, the mouth of the river that cuts across this ground G G/F# Em C But I'll be here when the winter drains the summer from the sun D And she'll be gone and on, she'll be gone and on to another love Em C Em She's a swan in the city C She belongs to the melody line Em Every push is a promise C Every pull is a bottle of wine
