Verse 1:
Bm                    D                            A
  Got a message in my head that the papers had all come
                   Bm                            D
Richard Manuel is dead and the daylight's comin' on
                                A
I've been wandering through the dark
                        Bm    (B) (C#) D
now I'm standing on the lawn


Chorus:
                 A      Bm     D
If I could give all my love to you
                  A             G               D
I could justify myself, but I'm just not coming through
                           A                G             D
You're a pill to ease the pain of all the stupid things I do
             (C#)    Bm                             G
I'm an anchor on the line of a clock that tells the time
                       A   G   D  
that is running out on you  [play first 1/2 of intro riff]


Verse 2:
Bm                    D                            A
  It was cold when I awoke and the day was halfway done
                         Bm                          D
Nearly spring in San Francisco and I cannot feel the sun
                          A                            Bm   (B) (C#) D
You were sleeping next to me, but I knew that you'd be gone


Repeat Chorus, then:

E-|-----------------------------|-
B-|-----------------------------|-
G-|-----------------------------|-

Bm D A E
Bm D A G D


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


Repeat Chorus twice
(skip the intro riff between these repeats)

End with a variation on Riff 1 (it's a really easy variation)
