Counting Crows - The Tall Grass: chords

A
"Come outside," she said to me
As if I knew just what she'd say
"Come outside, we'll watch tomorrow
             G
Pull the curtain on today"
           A
"Come outside into the tall grass
And the old corn and the shit
Come outside, oh child Into the wild
          G
and weep for it"
A#                      C               A
And all along I know I don't know the why

And it takes me through the meadows
And I have got a rifle on my arm
And the rabbit won't stop shaking
But the life is gone
And there is blood upon the clover
And, oh god, his eyes are open wide
Staring up at me and infinity
And the shrinking English sky
And all along I tell myself I don't know the why

A#
And as the idea ossifies
   C                  A
I can't believe it's mine
Dm
I make a change
C
He is wordless and silent
        Gm
And he says, "Just close my eyes"
       Dm
I have one eye open to the rain
    C
And one pressed to the ground again
      Gm
And I don't know why
      A#
And I don't know why
        F
And I don't know why
C         Gm
No, they don't know why
          A#
No, they don't know why
           F                    C
No, they don't know, don't know, don't know,
don't know, know

        Gm
Oh, she takes a train to Paris
       A#
For a weekend with a friend
                F
They take you places, trains and summers
        C
At 200 miles an hour
             Gm
That you've never been
      A#
Did I ever say
     F
The way your breath
       C
Takes mine away?

      Gm
As I stare out at the grassland
          A#
Past the living and the dead
        F
Matter forming and decaying
      C
A perpetual uprising
          Gm
Let there be a revolution
      A#
And a light to lead us on
        F
Just a ball of souls revolving
          C
Spinning circles 'round the sun
        Gm
For the infinite and ageless
         A#
For the meaningless and painless
         F
For the times we shook like rabbits,
                  C
felt like children made us ask this

         Gm
Can you see me?
         A#
Can you see me?
             F
Oh, can you see me?
Can you see me?
         C
Can you see me?
             Gm
Hey, can you see me?
           A#
For I am changing
             F                             C
But all the same things just come back to haunt me
           Gm                             A#
There are trains that can take a girl to Paris
            F                          C
There are planes that could bring you home
           Gm                               A#
There are some of us get broken when we're children
         F                              C
And you never get it back once that is gone

And I don't know why
No, I don't know why
No, I don't know why
No, I don't know why
No, I don't know why
