Em                                    Bm
Yeah all those stars drip down like butter
Em                 Dsus4 D
And promises are sweet
    Em
We hold out our pans with
              Bm
our hands to catch them
   Em                          C
We eat them up, drink them up, up, up, up

Chorus:
D G C Am D G       C
Hey,        let me in
D G C Am D G       Em
Hey,        let me in

I only wish that I could hear you whisper down
Mister fisher moved to a less peculiar ground
He gathered up his loved ones
and he brought them all around
To say goodbye, nice try

Chorus:
Hey, let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in
Let me in

I had a mind to try to stop you
Let me in, let me in
And I've got tar on my feet and
I can't see all the birds
Look down and laugh at me, clumsy,
crawling out of my skin

Chorus:
Hey, let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in
Hey, let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in
