Gm A# D#
I like the powder blue dresses
Gm
The stewardesses wear on Korean Air.
A# D#
The skin's divine and their bodies so fine.
Gm
They're all the same height and they have the same waistline.
A# D#
But there is one who stood apart
Gm
Her name-tag read "J.H. Park."
A# D#
She had a white watch and a muted spark,
F
And I thought about her when the night grew dark
Gm D#
And my hotel room in Tokyo,
F
And by the time that I awoke,
Gm D#
My guitar was broken and in need of repair.
F
Thanks for the hassles, Korean Air.
Gm D#
But I hurled myself through one last show
F
And I made a few friends, Shoko and Koko.
Gm D#
Walked them down to the train station below,
Gm A# D#
Remembered a girl who I had lost.
Gm
She grew up in a cardboard box
A# D#
In a town called Dharma.
Gm
She shook my spirit and she rattled my thoughts.
A# D#
But I had some love back home,
Gm
So I never pursued it or called her telephone number.
A# D#
I wonder if she knew that I had reason,
F
I wonder if she thought that I had used her.
Gm D#
And by the time that I awoke,
F Gm D#
I felt a jolt of an electrical sting,
F
I felt the pull of an invisible string.
Gm D#
Is it my future falling?
F Gm D#
I can't remember and you can't make me remember
A# D# Gm
I can't remember and you can't make me remember
F
My dirty reflection shimmering in the rain.
A# D# Gm
I can't remember and you can't make me remember
F
Old forgotten blues when we opened my house.
A# D# Gm F
I can't remember and you can't make me remember.
A# D# Gm F
I can't remember and you can't make me remember.
Gm A# D#
Was five years old the last time I slept
Gm
A quiet night before the loudness crept.
A# D#
I wrote poetry throughout my teens,
Gm
And I far exceeded my childhood dreams.
A# D#
Teachers told me I couldn't write,
Gm
That I'd never make a living or touch anyone's life.
