Verse 1
[Bm] Got a message in my [D]head
that the papers had all come[A]
Richard Manuel is dead[Bm]
and the daylight's comin' on[D]
I've been wandering through the dark[A]
Bm (B) (C#) D
now I'm standing on the lawn
Chorus
If I could give [A]all my [Bm]love to [D]you
I could justify [A]myself
but I'm [G]just not coming [D]through
You're a pill to ease the [A]pain
of all the [G]stupid things I [D]do
(C#) Bm
I'm an anchor on the line
of a clock that tells the [G]time
that is running out on [A]you [G] [D](play first 1/2 of intro riff over A G D)
Verse 2
[Bm] It was cold when I [D]awoke
and the day was halfway [A]done
Nearly spring in San [Bm]Francisco
and I cannot feel the [D]sun
You were sleeping next to [A]me
Bm (B) (C#) D
but I knew that you'd be gone
Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
[Bm] Take some time before you [D]go
To think of Mondays coming [A]down
and the people that you [E]knew
and the ones that aren't [Bm]around
You've been fading day to [D]day
I've been moving town to [Bm]town[D]
