This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

so well

Do you blame monet? His gardens in giverny

He captured And lovely basho

His plunking ponds and toads

Enraptured

The fate of kurt cobain Junk coursing through his veins

And young virginia woolf Death came and hung her coat

Love of color, sound and words Is it a blessing or a curse?

Enraptured

Sing me your lover's song

Gm Cm

Come with me we'll head up north

Cm

Where the rivers run icy and strong

Gm Cm

The empty theater is lying cold

Gm Cm

In the shadows of the past

Gm Cm

A church group enters to touch the molding

Cm

With a burst of song and a simple repast

Cm Gm

Guitars can't help but sing

Cm Gm

Can't help but ring

Gm

A tiny little flute is whistling in the lips

Cm Gm

Of a stranger on the corner

Gm

A tiny little girl ties flowers to her wrists

Cm Gm

And the bees come round to adorn her

Gm Cm Gm

All the time spent dreaming is never lost

Gm Cm Gm

Dreams come back through the bells of trumpeting horns

Gm

Souls lost into the ether of death

Gm Cm Gm

Come back wise in the eyes and the arms of newborns

Cm Gm

Hearts can't help but sing

Cm Gm

Can't help but ring
