Bowl of Oranges chords and lyrics - BRIGHT EYES

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]The rain it [C]started tappin'
[G]On the window near my bed
There [F]was a loophole in my dreamin'
So I [G]got out of it
And [Am]to my surprise my eyes were wide
[F]and already open
Just my night[D]stand and
my dresser
Where those night[G]mares had
just been
So I dressed [C]myself

[Verse 2]
and left then
[G]Out into the gray streets
[F]But everything seemed different
And completely [G]new to me
[Am]The sky the trees, houses, buildings,
[F]even my own body
And each per[D]son I encountered
I could[G]n't wait to meet
[C]An d I came upon a doc[G]tor Who appeared

[Verse 3]
in quite poor health
I said there's nothing [F]that I can do
for you you can't [G]do for yourself
He said [Am]oh yes you can, just hold my hand,
[F]I think that that would help
So I sat [D]with him awhile
Then I [G]asked him how he felt

[Verse 4]
He said [F]I think [Am]I'm cured
[F]No, in fact, [Am]I'm sure of it
[F]Thank [Am]you, stranger
For your thera[G]peutic [C]smile[G]
[F][G][Am]
[F][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]
So that's how [C]I learned the lesson
[G]That everyone's alone
And your eyes [F]must do some raining
If you're [G]ever gonna grow
And when crying [Am]don't help
You can't compose yourself
It's [F]best to compose a poem
An hon[D]est verse of longing
[G]Or a simple song of hope

[Verse 6]
[G]That's why I'm singing [C]baby
don't worry
[G]'Cause now I got your back
And every time [F]you feel like crying
I'm gonna try [G]and make you laugh
[Am]And if I can't
If it just hurts too bad
[F]Then we'll wait for it to pass
And I will [D]keep you company for
those days [G]so long and black
And we'll [C]keep working on

[Verse 7]
the problem
[G]We know we'll never solve
Of love's un[F]even remainders
Our lives [G]are fractions of a whole
But if the world could [Am]remain
within a frame
[F]Like a painting on a wall
Then I think [D]we'd see
the beauty then
We'd stand [G]staring in awe
At our still [F]lives [Am]posed

[Verse 8]
[F]Like a bowl [Am]of oranges
[F]Like a story [Am]told
By the fault-lines [G]and and the soil
