[Verse One]
G                        Am
Dust cloud coming off an old dirt road
      D7                   G
That leads up here to this little graveyard
G                 Am
Seven lights in a perfect row
D7                    G
Under each light is a police car
G                               Am
Just because you say it doesn''''t make it true
        D7                          G
You can say that I''''m guilty, man i just don''''t care
G                    Am
You can burn my body black
           D7                   G
Just don''''t make me go back to Jackson Square

[Verse Two]
G            Am
I met you on Decatur street
          D7                        G
With your little bare feet and your violin
G                        Am
I was walking by with my guitar in my hand
    D7                  G
You smiled at me and I jumped right in
G                         Am
Before i knew it you were all I knew
      D7                     G
Every moment together was an answered prayer
G                         Am
After a while we had some money saved up
       D7                 G
And we rented a room over Jackson Square

[Verse Three]
G           Am
But one day everything changed
     D7                          G
Your eyes got strange you didn''''t seem yourself
G                              Am
You go to tell a story and you start out fine
D7                          G
Halfway through it you''''d be somewhere else
    G                    Am
And I started having the strangest dream
  D7                          G
I held a string and looked up in the air
    G                         Am
And you were glowing with the strangest light
D7                         G
Drifting out of sight over Jackson square

[Verse Four]
G                          Am
Life is something that you can''''t control
         D7                       G
When you try to hold on to it, it makes you let go
G                        Am
Things are not like they were before
      D7                          G
I can hear her crying through the bathroom door
G                          Am
She says she hears spirits all around the room
            D7                      G
And they''''re telling her things that make her feel scared
G              Am
I have no idea what to do
D7                               G
Before were in over our heads on Jackson Square

[Verse Five]
G                  Am
I woke up with the weight on my chest
D7                           G
People were screaming on the street below
G                        Am
I reached for you, I was alone in the bed
    D7                          G
The wind was blowing through an open window
    G              Am
And suddenly I was very old 
      D7           G
And a little bold, absolutely nowhere
G                          Am
Staring at the side of the universe
         D7                G
And your tiny body down on Jackson Square
    G                        Am
And don''''t tell me that there ain''''t no end
      D7                  G
There damn well is and it waits in the wings
G                           Am
I see you kneeling there at center stage
        D7                G
In your tiny cage made of angel wings
G             Am
Well I''''m here every night
D7                        G
Loading my gun and trying not to go there
G                    Am
Anyone who says that life is clear
          D7                       G
Has never seen a mirror or been to Jackson Square
 
[Outro]
G    Am D7 G
Yeah    Yeah
G    Am D7 G
Yeah    Oh
G    Am D7 G
G    Am D7 G
