[Verse 1]
All the [E]rowboat
s [Am]in the paintings
[Dm]They keep trying to row away
[Am]And the captains' worried faces
[Dm]Stay contorted and staring at
the [Am]waves
They'll keep [E]hanging
in their gold frames
[F]For for[Dm]ever, forever and a day[D]
[Am]All the rowboats in [E]the
oil painting[F]s
They keep trying [Dm]to row away,
[D]row away

[Verse 2]
Hear them [E]whispering
French and [F]German
Dutch, Italian, and [Dm]Latin
[Am]When no one's look[E]ing I catch
a sculpture [F]marble,
Cold, and [Dm]soft as [D]satin
[A]But the[Am] most spe[E]cial are
the most [F]lonely
God, I pity [Dm]the violins[Am]
[A]In glass [Am]coffin[E]s they keep coughing
[F]They've forgotten, forgot[Dm]ten how to [D]sing,

[Interlude 2]

[Am]It's their own [E]fault for being [Am]timeless
[Dm]There's a price you pay
and [D]a consequence
[Am]All the [E]galleries, the museums
[F]Here's your ticket,
wel[Dm]come to the [Am]tombs
They're just [E]public mausoleums
[F]The living dead fill eve[Dm]ry roo[D]m

the most [F]lonely
God, I pity the [Dm]violins[Am]
In glass coffin[E]s they keep coughing
[F]They've forgotten,
[Dm]forgotten how to sing[Am]

[Verse 4]
They will stay [E]there in
their gold [F]frames
