Capo 3 (In parentheses are the chords without a capo) [Intro] Am Cm E G F G# Dm Fm Am E All the rowboats in the paintings F Dm They keep trying to row away Am E And the captains' worried faces F Dm Stay contorted and staring at the waves Am E They'll keep hanging in their gold frames F Dm For forever, forever and a day Am E All the rowboats in the oil paintings F Dm They keep trying to row away, row away (Repeat same chords for whole song) Hear them whispering French and German Dutch, Italian, and Latin When no one's looking I touch a sculpture Marble, cold, and soft as satin But the most special are the most lonely God, I pity the violins In glass coffins they keep coughing They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing, how to sing First there's lights out, then there's lock up Masterpieces serving maximum sentences It's their own fault for being timeless There's a price to pay and a consequence All the galleries, the museums Here's your ticket, welcome to the tombs They're just public mausoleums The living dead fill every room But the most special are the most lonely God, I pity the violins In glass coffins they keep coughing They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing They will stay there in their gold frames For forever, forever and a day All the rowboats in the oil paintings They keep trying to row away, row away First there's lights out, then there's lock up Masterpieces serving maximum sentences It's their own fault for being timeless There's a price to pay and a consequence All the galleries, the museums They will stay there forever and a day All the rowboats in the oil paintings They keep trying to row away, row away All the rowboats in the oil paintings They keep trying to row away, row away Hope this helps you guys out!!!
