[Estrofa]
F 
Burn up with the water 
F 
The floods are on the plains 
F 
The planets in a rose 
F 
Who knows what they contain? 
F 
And my brain is like an orchestra 
F 
Playing on, insane 
F 
Will you love me like you loved me in the January rain? 
F
[Estrofa]
F 
Mom and Dad and violins 
Bb              F 
Somber country silence 
  
The needle stopped the kicking 
     C 
The clothes pins on the floor 
      F 
And my heart is playing hide and seek 
Bb                 F 
Wait and count to four 
         C                                  Bb            F 
Will you love me like you loved me and I'll never ask for more
[Estribillo]
Bb 
What did you tell me Mary 
  
When you were there so sweet and very 
F 
Full of field and stars 
  
You carried all of time 
        C 
Oh and, heavens, when you looked at me 
  
Your eyes were like machinery 
     F 
Your hands were making artifacts in the corner of my mind
[Estribillo]
Bb 
Monastery monochrome 
  
Boom balloon machine and oh 
F 
Diamond rings and gutter bones 
  
Marching up the mountain 
Bb 
With our aching planning 
  
High and smiling 
  
Cheap drink 
  
Dark and violent 
F 
Full of butterflies 
  
The violent tenderness 
  
The sweet asylum 
    C 
The clay you find is fortified 
  
We felt unfocused fade the line 
    F 
The sugar rush 
  
The constant hush 
  
The pushing of the water gush 
    Bb 
The marching band 
  
When April ran 
    F 
May June bugs fly and 
        C 
Push your gin Jacob 
  
With the tired wiry brandy look 
Bb                             F 
Here we go round Mary in your famous story book
[Estrofa]
F 
We overcome the sirens 
   Bb                   F 
We look both left and right 
                            C 
And I can feel the numbness accompany my plight 
    F 
And I know that someday soon I'll see you 
     Bb                 F 
But now you're out of sight 
            C                              Bb        F 
And you'll kiss me like you used to in the January night
