D (Open E) – F9 – C9 – Riff
Maryanne has never been
Outside of Cumberland
So she sold her Minivan
Worst best laid plans
And the heat turns off at ten
So get your drinks in by then
Turn off the lights before you leave
And please don’t forget me
—
Chorus – A – C – G9 – D – Dsus x 8
She said that she’s leaving
But she wants to see me I told her to tell me a story
She said she’d see me in wide open spaces
Show me the places that I’ve never seen
She said that she’s bleeding But she promised to see me Told me a story about her disease
She told me she’d see me In wide open spaces
Told me the places that I’d never be
—
The clock counts the time of pain
Empty canyons in her brain
Stands too close to the fight
Pushing movements in the night
And her smiles color dreams
Deaths fabric at the seems
She refuses easy choices
Holds the hands of angels voices
—
She said that she’s leaving
But she wants to see me I told her to tell me a story
She said she’d see me in wide open spaces
Show me the places that I’ve never seen
She said that she’s bleeding But she promised to see me Told me a story about her disease
She told me she’d see me In wide open spaces
Told me the places that I’d never be
