Am  G#m   Am  G#m   G
 
C
Green world, love the chloroform
Dm
Front porch in the thunderstorm
F		Dm		C
Controlled chaos, confused energy
 
C
So stop reading the weather charts
Dm
Stop counting the playing cards
F		Dm		C
There's no system, there's no guarantee
 
F			G			C
That the love you feel and carry inside can be passed
But you try, I know you do, you still talk to the past
		Dm	G
Ask how are you getting on alone
 
C
Some wander the wilderness
Dm
some drink cosmopolitans
F		Dm		C
Some cold science, some glean astroplanes
 
C
I can't tell where the camera stops
Dm
homesick as an astronaut
F		Dm		C
Just keep drifting, but still can't explain
 
F			G			C
How the love we feel we carry inside can be passed
See a brother in the gutter and reach out your hand
		Dm	G
Ask how are you getting on alone
 
C
What gauge measures miracles
Dm
Whose heartbeat's electrical
F		Dm		C
We feign sickness with our modern joy
 
C
But even Western medicine
Dm
It couldn't save Danny Callahan
F		Dm		C
Bad bone marrow, the poor little boy
 
F			G			C
But the love he feels he carries inside can be passed
He lay still, his mother kissed him goodbye, said comeback
		Dm	G
Where are you going to alone
Where are you going all alone

If you transpose +7 it's really easy to play, G, am, C, D. I played it with a capo on second fret but thats just me.
