This is how I strum this out on my acoustic
INTRO:
C Cmaj7(?) Am G F Em Dm G

(x20010)
VERSE:
CCmaj7
Well she tossed all night like a raging sea
AmGFGm
Woke up and climbed from the suicide machine
CCmaj7
With her spanish candles and her persian poems
AmGFGm
Stuck on the rocks inside opus 40 stoned
CCmaj7
And scratching her wrists in the pouring rain
AmGFED
She collapses down upon the ocean floor again
CHORUS:
CFC
Tears in waves minds on fire
CAmD
Nights alone by your side
VERSE:
CCmaj7
Catskill mansions buried dreams
AmGFGm
I'm alive she cried but i don't know what it means
CCmaj7
somewhere out there across the moonlit sands
AmGFGm
there's a line drawn like the lines on her own hand
CCmaj7
and slammin' her eyes lockin' the door
AmGFEmD
she collapses down upon the ocean floor.... again
CHORUS:
CFC
Tears in waves minds on fire
CAmD
Nights alone by your side
