well time has a way of throwing it all in your face
the past, she is haunted, the future is laced

chorus: for the chorus I just use a random picking pattern
that keeps with the beat using the chords G C Am and D
[G]and through the glass, the corn crows come like [C]rain
they wont s[G]tay, they wont st[Am]ay for
[C]too long now
this could be [G]all that we [C]know..
of l[D]ove and all.

e|--------------------------------------------| B|------1----------1---------1----------------| G|----0---0------0---0-----0---0-----0----0---|repeat D|--------------------------------------------| 4x A|--0------------------------------3----2-----| E|------------3----------1--------------------|
well you were a dancer, i was a rag
the song in my head, well was all that i had
hope was a letter i never could send
love was a country we couldnt defend.
Pick around on the Am here for a moment before
last chorus...
[G]and through the carniva[Am]l we watch them go [C]round and r[G]ound
all we knew of [Am]home was just a [C]sunset and some c[G]lowns ohhhhhhh

well you were a magazine, i was a plane jane
just walking the sidewalks all covered in rain
love to just get into one of your stories
just me and all of my plane jane glory
