| Em | C D | Em | C D |

Em                 C    D
Make a hole with a gun perpendicular
Em                  C        D
To the name of this town in a desk-top globe
E               Am G    C  G
Exit wound in a foreign nation
D                       C           D
Showing the home of the one this was written for

Em                 Cmaj7  D
My apartment looks upside down from there
Em                Cmaj7     D
Water spirals the wrong way out the sink
E                  Am  G     C  G
And her voice is a backwards record
D                      C      D
It's like a whirlpool, and it never ends

G          C D     
Ana Ng and I are getting old
       C                 G Bb    
And we still haven't walked in the glow
        C            D
Of each other's majestic presence

Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say
If there was a me for you

Em              Cmaj7 D
All alone at the '64 World's Fair
Em                   Cmaj7      D
Eighty dolls yelling "Small girl after all"
E                Am   G  C  G
Who was at the DuPont Pavilion?
D                           C         D
Why was the bench still warm? Who had been there?

Em                   Cmaj7             D(or Cmaj7/D for accordion part.)
Or the time when the storm tangled up the wire
Em                      Cmaj7   D
To the horn on the pole at the bus depot
E                  Am   G  C   G
And in back of the edge of hearing
D                            C        D
These are the words that the voice was repeating:


"Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow
Of each other's majestic presence

Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say
If there was a me for you"

C          D            G          D       C
When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge:
C   C/D                 Gadd9  D7sus4(add13)  Cmaj9(13)
"I don't want the world, I just want your half"


They don't need me here and I know you're there (don't need me)
Where the world goes by like the humid air (world goes by)
And it sticks like a broken record
D                        Am G   C G
Everything sticks like a broken record
D                       Am G  C  G
Everything sticks until it goes away
D                 C            D7
And the truth is, we don't know anything


Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow
Of each other's majestic presence

Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say
If there was a me for you

| Bb | C |


Ana Ng and I are getting old
And we still haven't walked in the glow
Of each other's majestic presence

Listen Ana hear my words
They're the ones you would think I would say
If there was a me for you

| Bb | C |

... and so on.
