D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9 G
let the camera pull back
G Asus4 D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9
til the fullness of the frame is clear and plain
D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9 G
peer into the screen until you see it all
Asus4 D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9
like a vision in a crystal ball

E A
let it all fill with smoke
D G
is this somebody's idea of a joke?

D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9 G
let the fixer work until the silver's washed away
Asus4 D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9
and take the picture from the tray
D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9
look hard at what you see
G Asus4
and then remember you and me
D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9
and let the truth spring free

E A
like a jack in the box
D G
like a hundred thousand cuckoo clocks

G A
from the oregon corners
D G
to the iowa corn
G A D Dsus9 D Dsus9
to the rooms with the heat lamps where the snakes get born

D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9 G
crawl through the tunnel and follow,
Asus4 D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9
follow the light northwest
D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9 G Asus4
see that young man who dwells inside his body
D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9
like an uninvited guest

clutch your birthright in your fist

D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9 G
let the camera do its dirty work
Asus4 D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9
down there in the dark
D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9 G
sink low, rise high, and bring back some blurry pictures
Asus4 D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9
to remember all your darker moments by

E A
permanent bruises on our knees
D G
never forget what it felt like to live in rooms like these

G A
from the california coastline
D G
to the iowa corn
G A D Dsus9 D Dsus9
to the rooms with the heat lamps where the snakes get born
