  Am         G      Em
I called you after midnight
     Am     G    Em
then ran until I burst
  Am          G      Em
I passed the howling woman
      G       D         Em
and stood outside your door

We walked around the lake
And woke up in the rain
And everyone turned over
Troubled in their dreams again

Visiting time is over
And so we walk away
And both play dead then cry out loud
Why we always cry this way?

I kissed you in the water
And made your dry lips sing
I saw you look like a Japanese baby
In an instant I remembered

Am    Em
everything
everything
everything
C   D  Em
everything

I called you after midnight
Then ran until my heart burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door

I kissed you in the water
And made your dry lips sing
I saw you look like a Japanese baby
In an instant I remembered

everything
Everything,
everything,
everything

Take me for the walk
Take me for the walk
Let's go for a walk
Take me for the walk
