Bowl of Oranges Bright Eyes
The ra[C]in, it started tapping on the win[G]dow near my bed. There was a loo[F]phole in my dreaming,
so I [G]got out of it. And to my[Am] surprise my eyes were wide and a[F]lready open.
Just my nig[D]htstand and my dresser where those nigh[G]tmares had just been.

So I dressed myself and left then, out into the gray streets.
But everything seemed different and completely new to me.
The sky, the trees, houses, buildings, even my own body.
And each person I encountered, I couldn't wait to meet.
I came up a doctor who appeared in quite poor health.
I said there is nothing I can do for you
you can't do for yourself."
He said "Oh yes you can. Just hold my hand. I think that would help."
So I sat with him a while and then I asked him how he felt.
Part 2
He said, "I th[F]ink I'm cur[Am]ed. No, in fa[F]ct, I'm [Am]sure.
Thank y[F]ou Stran[Am]ger, for y[G]our therapeutic smile."
Play the verse chords 1x for the vocal break.

So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone.
And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow.
But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself.
It is best to compose a poem, an honest verse longing or simple song of hope.
That is why I'm singing...
Baby don't worry cause now I got your back. And every time you feel like crying,
I'm gonna try and make you laugh. And if I can't, if it just hurts too bad,
then we will wait for it to pass and I will keep you company
through those days so long and black.
And we'll just keep working on the problem we know we'll never solve of Love's uneven remainder.
Our lives are fractions of a whole
But if the world could remain in a frame like a painting on a wall.
Then I think we would see the beauty.
Then we would stand staring in awe at
part 2 again
our still lives posed like a bowl of oranges,
like a story told by the fault lines and the soil. play G twice as long this time
outro is the verse chords
this is roughly the piano part for the verse.

there are some other notes too but they are mostly just the same chords played on the piano
The piano part after the first chorus is a little different. it goes something like this.

Pretty simple song... yet awesome because Conor Oberst is a genius.
