Intro: DbDbGbGbVerse:
Db
They build wooden houses on frozen ponds
Gb
In the summertime when the water's gone
Gb
Diagonal lines in their rolled-out lawns
Db
And the sage always smells so pretty
Db
But nobody cares where the birds have gone
Gb
When the rain comes down on Babylon
Gb
The stone mason's phone rings all day long
Db
And you gotta get back to the city
Chorus:
Gb
I'll build my house up on this rock, baby
Ab
Every day with you
Db
There's nothin' in that town I need
Gb
After everything we've been through
Gb
Me out in my garden
Ab
And you out on your walk
Db
Is all the distance this poor girl can take
Gb
Without listenin' to you talk
Ab
I don't need their money, baby
AbDbDb
Just you and me on the rock
GbGb
You and me on the rock
Verse:
Db
I built paper planes when I learned to fly
Gb
Like a 747 fallin' out of the sky
Gb
I folded 'em crooked, now I'm wonderin' why
Db
I could always end up in the water
Db
But nobody's askin' why she lookin' so thin
Gb
Why she laughin' too hard or why she drinkin' again
Gb
a fallen star, she's a paper plane
Db
She was goin' down when you caught her
Chorus:
Gb
I'll build my house up on this rock, baby
Ab
Every day with you
Db
There's nothin' in that town I need
Gb
After everything we've been through
Gb
Me out in my garden
Ab
And you out on your walk
Db
Is all the distance this poor girl can take
Gb
Without listenin' to you talk
Ab
I don't need their money, baby
AbDbDb
Just you and me on the rock
Bridge::
EGb
It's an earthquake, it's a harder wind
DbAb
It's a record breakin' tide and it is rollin' in
EGb
It's a big sea, but it can't touch you and me
Ab
It's just not water for you
AbDbDb
And what are you? ooh ooh ooooh oooh

There's nothin' in that town I need

After everything we've been through

Me out in my garden
