G  Em  C  Am  Em  C  Am  C 
Once upon a blue   Thing or two  
Eyes and sight and a moon confused  
We heard the sparks fly   And we watched their lies  
Some died in retreat    Some in jealousy  

You know boredom breeds   Temptation in its wake  
But will you look at what    Temptations done  
The spirits here in the hollow    A message at the    Bottom of the bottle  
Oh   the sky tonight is gray    Oh   the quiver and the quake  
We cheered away A Goodbye Rye   And bled on down the road   
But when the buzz was over man 

The years are slow   So I lye alone  
Do you want  your name to burn away?  
Oh, but lies aside   Honey, will I ride?   Along and through    And over you  
Sleep   shame   Reno's low behind in  flames  
So with your misty mist  And your low-land frame  
Won't you sleep?       Shame?
