Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

  Throw the knife into the stream

  Run away across the fields

  Leave me lying where I fell

  Rivers running out of me

  Meet my Jenny in the lane

  Take a car and run away

  Get as far as you can get

Before the new day

  Your heart beats quick and strong

  Your mind pores over it all

  Don't worry because no one saw me fall

  Sit inside a little chef

  Look around but not at her

  See my kisses on her lips

  See my fingers in her hair

  Think of this against your will

  See the knife edge slipping in

  See the questions in my eyes

As I ask them

(spoken - no chords)

I went so quick it makes you shudder that I'm gone

Are we so brittle has your soul turned into stone

And though you loved me I'm not Jenny in the night

Some decisions don't thread back to being right

  Your head blurs quickly tonight

  Your edges diffuse in the light

  Don't tell me that your throat is getting tight

  Change your name and find a job

  Marry Jenny in the spring

  Buy a dog and call him Pete

  Push the children on the swings

  Think about me now and then

  Try to find a peaceful space

  Count the days as they go by

  Count the lines upon your face

  Your heart beats quick and strong

  Your mind pores over it all

  Don't worry because no one saw me fall
