[Intro 1]
[Em][C]
[D][C][Em][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I'm blessed
with [C]a heart that doesn't [D]stop[C]
[Em]My minds a wea[C]thervane
[G]it spins around just [D]like a top
[Em]Knows what the winds[C]
of fortune [D]bring
In the [C]season of the witch
[Em]Home is a perjury,[C]
a par[G]lor trick, an urb[D]an myth

[Verse 2]
[G]Oh how the circum[D]stances cha[C]nge[D]
[G]This world of [D]smoke and steel
Of com[Am]promise and meter-[D]maids
[G]I'm I'm going to leave
[D]here before [C]too long[D]
[G]Zigzagging towar[D]d the light
I'm [Am]off to sing [C]my bounder's

[Interlude 1]
song
[Em][C][D][C][Em][C][D]

[Verse 3]
[Em]True love it h[C]ides like city stars[D][C]
[Em]Nothing to gaze upon[C] or
[G]contemplate
[D]How near or far
[Em]If it comes, it co[C]mes quite unan[D]nounced
A [C]mo mentary glance
[Em]Lit up by su[C]n or moon
[G]Or bonfire or am[D]bulance[G]
How the cir[D]cumstances change

[Verse 4]
[C][D]
[G]Feels unmistak[D]able with no
[Am]idea from [D]where it came
[G]But you will know it [D]when it'[C]s gone[D]
[G]Zigzagging thr[D]ough the night
[Am][C][Em][G]
Half-dead [C]you you sing [B]your bounder's
[Em]song[G]
Half-dead [C]you you sing,
half-dead [B]you you sing

[Verse 5]
[C]Sing for the bou[G]nder whose
[B]word is never [C]kept
A bindle of [G]flowers [B]to state his mind
And bloom when he forgets
[Em][C][D][C][Em][C][D]

[Verse 6]
[Em]It's true that shadows t[C]ell the [D]time[C]
[Em]On sunny afterno[C]ons,
on [G]crowded sidewalks, [D]passersby
[Em]I'm in a que[C]ue that stretches out[D]
Far [C]as the eye can see
[Em]It forms a figure [C]eight
and [G]goes on for [D]eternity

[Verse 7]
[G]Oh how the circum[D]stances cha[C]nge[D]
[G]I fly by inter[D]state acr[Am]oss
a purple moun[D]tain range
[G]I find a p[D]lace to come undon[C]e[D]
[G]Zigzagging to [D]ward you now
[Am]I sing out loud [C]my bounder's song

[Outro 1]
[G][D][C][D][G][D]
[C][D][G][D][C][D][G]
[D][C][D][Em]
