capo on 4rd fret
GDEm
Throw the knife into the stream
DC
Run away across the fields
D
Leave me lying where I fell
G
Rivers running out of me
GDEm
Meet my Jenny in the lane
DC
Take a car and run away
D
Get as far as you can get
Before the new day
AmGD
Your heart beats quick and strong
AmGD
Your mind pores over it all
AmGDC
Don't worry because no one saw me fall
GDEm
Sit inside a little chef
DC
Look around but not at her
D
See my kisses on her lips
G
See my fingers in her hair
GDEm
Think of this against your will
DC
See the knife edge slipping in
D
See the questions in my eyes
As I ask them
(spoken - no chords)
I went so quick it makes you shudder that I'm gone
Are we so brittle has your soul turned into stone
And though you loved me I'm not Jenny in the night
Some decisions don't thread back to being right
AmGD
Your head blurs quickly tonight
AmGD
Your edges diffuse in the light
AmGDC
Don't tell me that your throat is getting tight
GDEm
Change your name and find a job
DC
Marry Jenny in the spring
D
Buy a dog and call him Pete
G
Push the children on the swings
GDEm
Think about me now and then
DC
Try to find a peaceful space
D
Count the days as they go by
G
Count the lines upon your face
AmGD
Your heart beats quick and strong
AmGD
Your mind pores over it all
AmGDC
Don't worry because no one saw me fall
