C G F F

[Verse]
C              G                F               F
Magpie comes a-calling, drops a marble from the sky
C                G              F         F
Tin roof sounds alarming, "wake up child"
 C             G                  F             F
"Let this be a warning", says the magpie to the morning
       C               G               F   F
"Don't let this fading summer pass you by"
       C               G               F   F
"Don't let this fading summer pass you by"

[Verse]
C                   G         F                  F
Black hands held so high, the vulture wheels and dives
C                G                   F     F
Something on the thermals yanked his chain
C                   G    F              F
Smelled your boring apex rotting on the train tracks
   C                 G                  F                      F
He laughed under his breath because you thought that you could outrun...

[Verse]
C       G           F          F
Sorrow,   take your own advice
     C              G                  F    F
This thundering and lightning gets you rain
           C        G          F            F
You run an airtight mission, a Cousteau expedition
          C              G             F     F
To find a diamond at the bottom of the drain
  C              G             F     F
A diamond at the bottom of the drain

[Verse]
       C          G F        F             C     G F F
Mockingbird sings     in the middle of the night
C       G         F      F           C G F F
All his songs are stolen so he hides
   C          G        F             F
He stole them out from whippoorwills
    C         G    F     F
And screaming car alarms

[Bridge]
C    G          F       F
  He sings them for you special
C    G             F            F
  He knows you're afraid of the dark
C         G       F           F
  Come on sorrow,   take your own advice
C      G              F      F
  Hide under the bed,   turn out the light

[Verse]
    C          G            F       F
The stars this night in the sky are ringing out
C       G      F         F
You can almost hear them saying
 C          G        F    F
"Close your eyes now kid"
 C          G        F    F
"Close your eyes now kid"
C         G         F   F
Morning's teeth are lit

[Outro]
         Dm
They are waiting
F
Waiting
         C
They are waiting
