[Intro]
F#m E Bm Bm  x4


[Verse 1]

When it will come around
                            E
You won’t see it coming, or hear it make a sound
                    Bm
But would you sing along?
                                E
And welcome the lightning after such a long wait
                F#m         E                Bm
Can you feel it beat here, deep down in your little chest
           F#m          E            Bm
I know the river runs wilder in your other self
            F#m     E               Bm
Now you can almost taste it on your sharpened jaws
            F#m     E             Bm
And you can almost say it in your wildest prose


[Chorus]
A                        E             Bm
Oh looks like the mockingbirds stopped laughing at you
A              E                Bm
Hold me like a stranger till September is through

F#m E Bm X2


[Verse 2]

And you will come around
                            E
Red eyed and silenced to be running out of time
               Bm
Can you see it through my eyes?
                          E
Snatches of sunrise after such a long drive
               F#m          E              Bm
And I hear you humming that tune the one I used to know
            F#m    E               Bm
Now you can almost sing it in your brightest tone
                  F#m     E               Bm
Can you feel that longing filling up your little breast
           F#m        E              Bm
I know the river runs wilder in your other self
          F#m         E                   Bm         E
My little hometown is dying but my little tigress is wild
          F#m           E                 Bm          E
And I can see it in her eyes that she can never be tamed
          F#m     E               Bm             E
And I can almost taste it on your sharpened jaws
          F#m     E             Bm           E
And I can almost sing it in my wildest prose


[Chorus]
A                 E                    Bm
Oh looks like the mockingbirds stopped laughing at you
A              E                Bm
Hold me like a stranger till September is through
A                 E                    Bm
Oh looks like the mockingbirds stopped laughing at you
A              E                Bm
Hold me like a stranger till September is through


[Outro]
