[Verse 1]
G            F        C
Green bed of bottles, open to the sky
G            F              C                 Dm7
Bare head of drunk man, the beads of sweat go dry
F            E7     Am7         Fmaj7
He says he's sorry, tender as a lamb
           C              Gm7              F           Dm7
She says, "go", meaning, "stay", meaning, "you have to pay"

[Chorus 1]
           C                 Ebmaj7
Behind the moon, in the dead zone
       F6             G7             C
In the darkness where lovers all are blind

[Verse 2]
G          F             C
Sources of light in this land of the dead
    G        F          C            Dm7
Are electric shocks and blows to the head
F                  E7 Am7        Fmaj7
The silence broken by his voice alone
         C               Gm7        F                Dm7
Saying, "yes", meaning, "no", as he tears down their home

[Chorus 2]
           C                 Ebmaj7
Behind the moon, in the dead zone
              F6       G7              A
I'll still be calling, calling out for you
           C                       Ebmaj7
Behind the moon, when all hope has gone
           F6         G7          C
Well, what else would you have me do?

[Outro/Fade]
C F Em G            Dm7
       Green bed of bottles
G            C
Green bed of bottles and bottles and
G Dm7 G Dm7 G Dm7 C
Gree------n
G Dm7 G Dm7
Oh,   broken
     C
It's gone
G     Dm7       G        Dm7
Green green green bed of bottles
G     Dm7  G Dm7 C G Dm7 G Dm7 G Dm7 C
Green green
