Intro:
G, Em, C, D

Verses:
G            Em            C        D
I’m trading time for the victory smile
G            Em            C        D
I’m spinning high like a tin moon on fire
C                       D
Yeah it’s been a long ride
               G           Em
But I’m still looking for mine
C                      D
Yeah it’s been a long time

I spelled my name on your up and down beat
I called for rain but they gave us 8th street
Yeah you’re on the TV 
And paid for faking the bleeding
Yeah it’s been a long time

Chorus:
G         Am             C     Am  C
Say your time keeps a little fast
G         Am           C       Am  C
Say your heart beats blue and black 
G          Am             C       Am   C
Say your love grows with poison grass
G          Em     C
Say you won’t leave

I’m making frames for the visions you see
I took your place where the cannon ball sleeps
Yeah it couldn’t be free
But I would ‘given you cheap
Yeah it’s been a long time

(x2)
Say your time keeps a little fast
Say your heart beats blue and black 
Say your love grows with poison grass
Say you won’t leave
