Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

A room sometimes is a body with the loneliest view

and porch lights grow dim with every onsetting hour

and the stars seem so finite to you

Chorus 1

but love it ain't like the chemicals, babe

cuz the chemicals don't hang around

everybody's drilling for a fountain of youth

losing years on the way down

losing years on the way down

Verse 2

A melody can be exhausted babe, short of friend and fame

cuz the birds they don't sing in the winter short of spring

and even then they only sing in the day

Chorus 2

but love it ain't like a melody babe cuz the birds don't hang around

everybody's drilling for a fountain of youth

but sometimes in these fountains they drown

sometimes in these fountains they drown

Bridge

But I wanna love you when the blood of my veins don't know how to

call out your name, yeah I wanna love you when the birds don't hang around

Solo over verse chords

Chorus 3

but love it ain't like the chemicals, babe

cuz the chemicals don't hang around

everybody's drilling for a fountain of youth

but sometimes in these fountains they drown

For the Bb6, play the chord in the intro to "Over the Hills and Far Away".

That may not be what John Mark is playing, but he's just progressing down

from C back to G, and that's a cool sounding chord.
