 In  the still water she lies down
 Shaking  in the press of sunlight
 We  rolled into Lexington
 She  shakes off the drop of daylight
 Water  beading up her chest
 Bleeding  down between her knees
 Rivers  in Kentucky flow
 Between  the bluegrass wavy seas
 But  oh, Marjorie
 Twists  the knife once  more inside of me
 Breathless with anticipation
 Baited breathers set their hooks
 Tuck their heads beneath the high grass
 And lie and wait beside the brooks
 For instance? pushing slowly through
 Frustration leading back along
 The alleys of a childhood
 Will not release us willingly
 But oh, Marjorie
 Sticks the knife in while I heard the sea
 
  ?
 Dust me off and shut me down
 And dream of where I haven't been
 Close the door inside my heart
 Stuck in the south Atlantic wind
 I have hollow eyes
 Haunting only to myself
 Even so, I can't stop calling
 This great big hollows in my self
 I took the train form California
 To the far side of the continent
 Woke up in Kentucky
 Where a wedding was about to end
 I looked up at Anna
 She turned back to look at me
 It's best to kill the ones that matter
 Render blind the ones who see
 But oh, Marjorie
 Takes the blade and walks away from me
 Oh, Marjorie
 Love like blood is pouring out of me
 Oh, Marjorie
 My heart won't stop bleeding over me baby
 Oh, I can't shut it in
 It's got far too many doors to block the wind
 Oh, I can't shut it in
 It's got far too many doors to block the wind

I[E]n the still water she lies down

S[D]haking in the press of sunlight

W[A]e rolled into Lexington

S[E]he shakes off the drop of daylight

W[E]ater beading up her chest

B[D]leeding down between her knees

R[A]ivers in Kentucky flow

B[E]etween the bluegrass wavy seas

B[D]ut oh, Ma[E]rjorie

T[D]wists the knife on[A]ce more inside of me [E]

Breathless with anticipation
Baited breathers set their hooks
Tuck their heads beneath the high grass
And lie and wait beside the brooks

[the first two lines run together with the first two words said real rapidly]
For instance? pushing slowly through
Frustration leading back along
The alleys of a childhood
Will not release us willingly

But oh, Marjorie
Sticks the knife in while I heard the sea

 [F#m]
 [B]?  [repeat]

Dust me off and shut me down
And dream of where I haven't been
Close the door inside my heart
Stuck in the south Atlantic wind

I have hollow eyes
Haunting only to myself
Even so, I can't stop calling
This great big hollows in my self

I took the train form California
To the far side of the continent
Woke up in Kentucky
Where a wedding was about to end

I looked up at Anna
She turned back to look at me
It's best to kill the ones that matter
Render blind the ones who see

But oh, Marjorie
Takes the blade and walks away from me
Oh, Marjorie
Love like blood is pouring out of me
Oh, Marjorie
My heart won't stop bleeding over me baby

[solo over F#m and B?]

Oh, I can't shut it in
It's got far too many doors to block the wind
Oh, I can't shut it in
It's got far too many doors to block the wind
