Hey, I heard what you said
G             Em
In sun and in showers,
   Bm          
We all must be fed.
F#m E       Bm
All must be fed.

You wear yourself so steadily,

You're ready for a fight
       Em
But in hell and high water
   Bm
It helps to be right.
F#m     E     Bm
Helps to be right.

I don't know the rules of this game,
      E                     Bm
And I don't think I want to play. 
 E                        Bm
I've seen your cards, and mine are the same
    F#              E
And if I come back, I won't stay

(E NI G  O) Bm, Em, Bm

Bm
I burned all your letters
Bm
I buried all your stones
    Em
The curses and the raptures,
  Bm
I kept them for my own

 Bm
Oh say, how 'bout this instead?
     Em                       Bm
Come by with some flowers and stay 'til they're dead
F#m   E           Bm
Stay 'til they're dead.

And if I come back, I won't stay

(G  O) Bm, Em, Bm, F#, E, Bm

Come by with some flowers,
    Bm
And stay til they're dead.
