D C G
[Verse 1]
G C Em G
It is impossible to distinguish
C G
The difference between
C G
Pine needles and worms
C
On the sidewalk
G
In the early morning
D C G
January rain
[Riff]
G C Em G
[Verse 2]
G C
It's just the new year's pain
Em G
Falling from the sky again
C G
Disguising living things among nonliving things
C G
So they get stomped just the same
C G C G
Underfoot, on the sidewalk in the early morning
D C G
January rain
[Riff]
G C Em G
[Chorus]
C D
But the voices in the air ask you to mourn
Ebdim Em
But your so far away from how you're born
D
That you don't know how
G C
And pretend you don't care
D
You're compassionate and then you're caustic
Ebdim Em
You're religious and then agnostic
D G D
You think you've found it when you've lost it
[Verse 3]
G C Em G
Trying to decipher cryptic meaning
C G
But if the heart would just stop beating
C G
Then the scrape would stop bleeding
C G
And if it's cause and effect
C G
Then maybe something I'm doing would stop
D C G
January from raining
[Riff]
G C Em G
[Chorus]
C D
But the voices in the air ask you to mourn
Ebdim Em
But you're so scared of being scorned
D G D
That you just ignore them
[Bridge]
A C G
Goddammit, I don't know
A C G
Goddammit, I don't know
A C
Goddammit
[Verse 4]
G C Em G
It is impossible to distinguish
C G
The difference between
C G
Thoughts and feelings
C G
In the early morning
D C G
January rain
