  26 Ramona, come closer
  27                         G    G6  G7
  28 Shut softly your watery eyes
  29
  30 The pangs of your sadness
  31                               C    Csus4   C
  32 Will pass as your senses will rise
  33     F
  34 The flowers of the city
  35                                     G      G6   G7
  36 Though breathlike, get deathlike sometimes
  37
  38 And there's no use in tryin'
  39
  40 To deal with the dyin'
  41                                 C
  42 Though I cannot explain that in lines.
  43
  44 Your cracked country lips
  45 I still wish to kiss
  46 As to be by the strength of you skin
  47 Your magnetic movements
  48 Still capture the minutes I'm in
  49 But it grieves my heart, love
  50 To see you tryin' to be a part of
  51 A world that just don't exist.
  52 It's all just a dream, babe
  53 A vacuum, a scheme, babe
  54 That sucks you into feelin' like this.
  55
  56 I can see that your head
  57 Has been twisted and fed
  58 With worthless foam from the mouth
  59 I can tell you are torn
  60 Between stayin' and returnin'
  61 Back to the South
  62 You've been fooled into thinking
  63 That the finishin' end is at hand
  64 Yet there's no one to beat you
  65 No one to defeat you
  66 'Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad
  67
  68 I've heard you say many times
  69 That you're better than no one
  70 And no one is better than you
  71 If you really believe that
  72 You know you have
  73 Nothing to win and nothing to lose
  74 From fixtures and forces and friends
  75 Your sorrow does stem
  76 That hype you and type you
  77 Making you feel
  78 That you gotta be just like them.
  79
  80 I'd forever talk to you
  81 But soon my words
  82 They would turn into a meaningless ring
  83 For deep in my heart
  84 I know there is no help I can bring
  85 Everything passes
  86 Everything changes
  87 Just do what you think you should do
  88 And someday, maybe
  89 Who knows, baby
  90 I'll come and be cryin' to you.
