Verse 1
Well, (E minor)
you say that you've forgotten
But I know (C major) that you're rotten
in (D major) your sweet (B minor) (E minor) (B minor) little way (C major)
Like (E minor) (B minor) (E minor) the crab apples
themselves like (C major) ornaments
Fermen (D major) ted in the suspense
of their sweet (E minor) de (B minor) cay
(C major) I'm (D sharp major) drinkin' Shell
Station wine (E minor)
Beneath the Sylvan (C major) Lake willow
My (D major) prophesied Rebecca
My bike (C major) trail and pillow
I (D major) (E minor) still see your cheeks so red
Pon (C major) tiac summer
The (D major) pulverized sidewalk
And the ra (C major) cing
And the stupor
Or in (E minor) danger
And the kids using a milk (C major) jug
For a basketball
Risk (D major) it all
To ask it all
To bas (C major) ketball
Again in splendor
Tracing (D major) your (C major) (D major) rotten (B minor) spine (E minor)
Oh, but when (C major) your hair
was still long
Everything (D major) a new song in the heat (C major) er
In the theater of soil (E minor) tights
In the night where we touched
(C major) in standing darkness
The (D major) odor was magnetic
and we wore (C major) it like a harness
My (E minor) memory is freezing
in your dead (C major) night winter attic
(D major) Evacuated all except for the (C major) electric static
Of our bod (E minor) ies barking on
The car (C major) pet and the mattress
Something (G major) (C major) (D major) made a tar
pit out of what (C major) once
Was a fortress over
Who (E minor) can really (Asus4) say
May (E minor) be I (C major) took that for granted
But somehow (D major) my lips never left
For the back (C major) of your next planet
Oh (D major) my little wastrel
My sweet (E minor) lost friend
My piss (D major) is in the tendrils
of your ren (A major) ted house
Ivy that ensnares (C major) the end
Suspended there with a (E minor) crowd
that burns themselves like (C major) ornaments
That's (D major) what you said one morning
Looking out the back
(C major) window of my parents
Once a (E minor) morning so fine
They're inside (C major) that book I gave you
Maybe (D major) there's a line you wrote
to re (C major) mind or to save you
Pretty (E minor) boys sell shitty boys
with marked (C major) down all their
telling
(D major) Catchphrases that vaporize
within (C major) ironic spelling, but not the crap (E minor)
Apples are in the (C major) cemetery in storm
The (D major) World Series is over
and the world's (C major) collapsing in its core
I (E minor) think of all those young names
that day on (C major) the stones we read
In cold Arizona (D major) iced tea
when the (C major) cemetery scorched us red
Now (E minor) (D major) I (E minor) am blind to your weekends
The snorting kind of your new friend (C major) s
But (D major) there's a lot we're
washed in all ends
That (C major) you might recall
(E minor) I (G major) (E minor) know the way your body bends
In the park van, we're still in pens
(D major) The smoking frozen moment
And the (C major) cataclysm (E minor) of (D major) it all
I (E minor) know your girlhood diary pens,
I read it back to you with tender (D major) ness
(E minor) Inside that (D major) summer bed,
across (E minor) your mother's hall (C major)
(E minor) Did (G major) (D major) (E minor) I die inside the cleanse
of blinding (C major) sunlight here on land?
We (D major) were perfect, that depends,
it's all (C major) just sand and squall
(D major) Do (E minor) you still hum when night descends?
I thought (C major) it was your poem this then
It's (D major) your motor
and the an (C major) imals trapped in your wall
All (D major) the (E minor) boys that you fucked over
eventually got out of Ann Arbor
Well (D major) honey, how come you're still (E minor)
stuck behind the (C major) counter? (G major)
(D major) The streets (E minor) we used to take,
the crack (C major) ing of the lake
I'll (D major) never get that final point
you were barely (B minor) even (D major) try (B minor) ing to (E minor)
(D major) make (C major) (E minor) (C major)
(D major) (C major) (D major) (C major) (E minor) (C major)
(D major) (C major)
You (B major) (E minor)
