CHORDS: D G Em A
(#1)
D
Spiders are singing in the salty breeze
G
Spiders are filling out tax returns
D
Spinning out webs of deductions and melodies
G
On a private beach in Michigan
(#1)
D
Why can't they wish their kisses good
G
Why do they miss when their kisses should
D
Fly like winging birds fighting for the keys
G
On a private beach in Michigan
Em A
This recent rash of kidsmoke (this part you play #2)
Em A Em
All these telescopic poems
G
It's good to be alone
(#1)
D
Why can't they say what they want
G
Why can't they just say what they mean
D
Come clean, listen and talk
G
Hello private callers, IDs blocked
D
The sun will rise, we'll climb into cars
G
The future has a valley and a shortcut around
D
Who will wear the crown of drowning award
G
Hold a private light on a Michigan shore
Em A
You fool me with a kiss of kidsmoke (this part you play #2)
Em A Em
From a microscopic home
G
It's good to be alone
(#3)
I'll be in my bed
You can be the stone
That raises from the dead
And carries us all home
There's no blood on my hands
I just do as I am told
