[Verse 1]
C G
There's a picture of Jesus lying in his mother's arms
C G
Shuttered windows, cars humming on the
street
below
C
The fountain throbbed
in the lobby of the Grand Hotel
G C G
We checked into room thirty-three, well well
C G
You were a runaway flake of snow
C G
You were skinny and white as a wafer, yeah I know
C
Sitting on the edge of the bed clicking your shoes
G C G
I slid my little songs out from under you
[Chorus]
C G
And we all rose from our wonder
C
We would never admit defeat
G C
And we leaned out of the window
G C G C
As the rain fell on the street, on the street
G C G C G C G
[Verse 2]
C G
They were just a sigh released from a dying star
C G
They were runaway flakes of snow, yeah I know
C
They annexed your insides in a late night raid
G
We sent down for drinks and something to eat
C G
The cars humming in the rain on the street below
C G
A fountain throbs in the lobby of the Grand Hotel
C G
The spurting font of creativity, yeah I know
C
Your head in a pool of your own streaming hair
G
And Jesus lying in his mother's arms
C G
Just so up on the wall, just so
[Chorus]
C G
And we all rose up from our wonder
C
We would never admit defeat
G C
And we leaned out of the window
G C G C
And watched the horses in the street, in the street
G C G
In room thirty-three, yeah
C G C
Yeah, I know
