Capo: 5th fret
This is just for the chords, not for the specific notes of the plucking pattern.
Capo 5
C E F C F G C
C E
It''''s 3 AM, and the conversation''''s spent.
F C F G
She''''s waiting on the bedside wrapped within the static wind and she''''s got
C E
powders and pills, chasing thrills through dollar bills,
F C F G
tracing lines of her reflection with her senses so distilled
Am G
as she drifts on through this dream.
C E Am
She can share her medication but she can''''t outrun the rain when clearly
F C F C F C F G
here she stands, with candy in her hands, she offers up the pixie dust and separates the sand,
and I''''ll say:
F C F C
\\"It''''s alright. No need to ask me twice.\\"
F C E Am
She spins the ring so she can sing the crayon song tonight.
F G C
She''''s gonna sing the crayon song tonight.
C E F C F G C
C E
When she calls you can find her in the hall.
F C F G
Where she''''s scribbling up pictures she hangs crooked on the wall. She''''s framing
C E F C F G
false alarms until her chamber maids have gone, then she''''ll sleep beside the music box whose tune keeps playing on.
Am G
Her behavior seems insane,
C E Am

here we stand, with candy in our hands, let''''s mix us up some pixie dust and sprinkle in the sand. We''''ll just say:
F C F C F C E Am
\\"It''''s alright. ''''Til once turns into twice. Let''''s spin the ring so we can sing the crayon song tonight.\\"
F G C
We''''re gonna sing the crayon song tonight.

I''''m off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors.
Am F C G

C E
Fan the flame and erase another day,
F C F G
she''''ll be running all the red lights ''''til the candles melt away along this
C E
empty road, where the flowers never grow,
F C F G
casting shadows drenched in sorrow from a life she''''ll spend alone
Am G
until the sunshine sets her free.
C E Am
It appears that you''''ve been down so long it looks like up to me but sadly:
F C F C F C F G
here I stand, with candy in my hands, I''''m mixed up with the pixie dust and sinking in the sand and something''''s
F C F C F C E Am
not quite right. Sometimes you should think twice. I spun the rings and now I''''ll sing the crayon song all night.
F G C
We''''re gonna sing the crayon song tonight.
Am F C G
I''''m off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors.
