Capo 2nd Fret
------------
[E-]He was a clubland caller, he was younger than he felt
[A-]Settled like a moth down in the [B-]east-end Neon belt
[E-]Well he used to be a believer, ā??til the city got its grip
[A-]Now if thereā??s any holiness lef[B-]t, Well he canā??t remember it
[E-]She was a high-rise butterfly, crashed in ā??92
[A-]Into some veiled little suburb that [B-]they bulldozed through
[E-]Where the little fat angels guard the harvest like they should
[A-]Well its downtown now but i[B-]t used to be the woods
It used to be the woods
And[D], oh its a lonely [E-]little town
An[D]d oh, its a lonely [E-]little tune
An[Dsus6]d if my name is on that l[B-]ist I guess Iā??ll see you[E-] soon
[E-]First he heard her voice and then he saw her face
[A-]She shone just like a crucifix, an[B-] instrument of grace
[E-]And they got on like children, they got a hotel room
[A-]They got a new religion, a n[B-]eedle and a spoon
[E-]And they gave thanks to the heavens, but the devil held their hands
[A-]And they walked that great divide betwee[B-]n Disciples and partisans
[E-]And the brown and the Bible, they were never quite enough
[A-]But the life that grew inside her well tha[B-]t felt a bit like love
felt a bit like love
And,[D] oh its a lonely litt[E-]le town
And [D]oh, its a lonely lit[E-]tle tune
And[Dsus6] if my name is on that l[B-]ist I guess Iā??ll see you[E-] soon
And[Dsus6] if my name is on that l[B-]ist I guess Iā??ll see you[E-] soon
[E-]The seasons are a metronome, the rhythm and the wild
[A-]The winter took his heart away, the [B-]spring it took her child
[E-]And the honeyed breath of summer is sweet and overgrown
[A-]But its always autumn sings ā??its not too [B-]late To find your way back homeā??
To find your way back homeā??
[E-]And a bell sometimes reminds them, or the singing in the wind
[A-]The striking of a match, the [B-]smell of Paraffin
[E-]And some folks are drawn to the flames, and some just want to hide
[A-]But the lonely are the prettiest of all, they [B-]burn from the inside
They burn from the inside
[A-]Yeah, the lonely are the prettiest of all, they[B-] burn from the inside
