G#m G G#m G F#
B
Green world, love the chloroform
C#m
Front porch in the thunderstorm
E C#m B
Controlled chaos, confused energy
B
So stop reading the weather charts
C#m
Stop counting the playing cards
E C#m B
There's no system, there's no guarantee
E F# B
That the love you feel and carry inside can be passed
But you try, and all you do is just talk to the past
(B) C#m F#
Ask how are you getting on alone
B
Some wander the wilderness
C#m
Some drink cosmopolitans
E C#m B
Some cold science, some glean astroplanes
B
I can't tell where the canvas stops
C#m
Homesick as an astronaut
E C#m B
Just keep drifting, but still can't explain
E F# B
How the love we feel we carry inside can be passed
See a brother in the gutter and reach out your hand
(B) C#m F#
Ask how are you getting on alone
B
What gauge measures miracles
C#m
Whose heartbeat's electrical
E C#m B
We feign sickness with our modern joy
B
But even Western medicine
C#m
It couldn't save Danny Callahan
E C#m B
Bad bone marrow, the poor little boy
E F# B
But the love he feels he carries inside can be passed
He lay still, his mother kissed him goodbye, said comeback
(B) C#m F#
Where are you going to alone
Where are you going all alone
Just fill in the gaps where I did not bother to note the chords and ENJOY!
