Silver Jews – Pretty Eyes chords

Pretty Eyes - Silver Jews
The Natural Bridge (1996)

G               DEverybody wants perspective from a hill
Am                    G             G/F#but everybody's wants can't make it past the window sill
GI can see you in yourt room at night
Dthe pictures on your walls
Amlittle forest scenes and high school halloweens
                Gbut they don't come to you
            G/F#they don't come to you at all

GAll houses dream in blueprints
Dour house dreams so hard
AmOutside you can see my shoeprints
           G            G/F#I've been dreaming in your yard

E                                 AmOne of these days these days will end
E                           AmThru the kitchen window the light will bend
E                                  AmYou'll be carving a pumpkin with a knife
Ewhen someone at the table says
G                  G/F#"that's not what I call a life!"

G                                     DThe elephants are so ashamed of their size
Am                               G      G/F#hosing down I tell them "you got pretty eyes"
G                             DOut in the backyard I used to make like I was a cowboy
Am                                    G        G/F#I'd set my dog before a hoop and say "now boy, now boy!"

EWhen the governer's heart fails
Amthe state bird falls from its branch
E                        AmIcicles on hell's higher hills
E                          AmMeanwhile back home at the ranch
EI still get up early in the morning
      G            G/F#and I never knew a better place

G                                         DI believe the stars are the headlights of angels
                               Amdriving from heaven to save us to save us
Won't you look at the sky?
G                           G/F#They're driving from heaven into our eyes
G                                     Dand though final words are so hard to devise
Am                                       G           G/F#I promise that I'll always remember your pretty eyes your pretty eyes
