🎸 Verse 1:
Am            Fm
Cities are fickle as the people in them
C               D
I’m dying to arrive, and then I leave again
Am           Fm
I felt so lonely in the maddening crowd
C             D
A sad silver lining in the darkest cloud

Pre 🎸 Chorus:
F        G          Em    Am
Can’t meet your parents cos they'll think I’m strange
F          G       Em      Am
I’d dive into their pool when the water’s been drained
  F     G      Em   Am
but how do you fly if youre always afraid
  F            G
At least you know where you are fallin!

🎸 Chorus:
C            Gm7
 I’m the bottom of your empty martini
F           Dm  G
 a hummingbird at your windowpane
C             Gm7
 I’ll be blooming but you still never see me
F             Dm   E7
 I’ll be the Alice to your John Coltrane

🎸 Verse 2:
Am             Fm
If you could count my crooked crowded teeth
C            D
And all the stains buried underneath
Am                Fm
There You might find the greatest parts of me
C           D
Might not win but the odds are free

Pre 🎸 Chorus:
F     G      Em   Am
How do you fly if youre always afraid
  F            G
At least you know where you are fallin!

🎸 Chorus:
C            Gm7
 I’m the bottom of your empty martini

 a hummingbird at your windowpane

 I’ll be blooming but you still never see me

 I’ll be the Alice to your John Coltrane
