The Silver Jews


Tom: G

G                  C                         G
When God was young He made the wind and the sun
G              C                    G
And since then It's been a slow education
D                               C                  G
And you got that one idea again. The one about dying

[Chorus]
G       D      C
Oh, oh, oh I'm lightning
G       D      C
Oh, oh, oh I'm rain
G       D       C
Oh, oh, oh it's frightening
G
I'm not the same
D
I'm not the same
C
I'm not the same

[Verse]
G                
There's a screen door banging in the wind
C                                                      G
Remember you wanted to be like George Washington back then
G               
Everybody going down on themselves
C                                        G
No pardon me's or fair thee wells in the end
D                              C               G
And you got that one idea again. The one about dying

[Chorus]
G       D         C
Oh, oh, oh I'm lightning
G       D      C
Oh, oh, oh I'm rain
G       D            C
Oh, oh, oh it's frightening
G
I'm not the same
D
I'm not the same
C
I'm not the same
