Intro 1

Were you surprised

Verse 1
Am 
that we never spoke?
Then in the still of the night when nothing stirs
I woke and I gathered up some clothes
I never planned on this but
Dm 
it's the way it goes
Am 
And now it all seems

Verse 2
so familiar like
pages turned on calendars
We get the same twelve months to fuck
things up-year after after year
And I can't believe how down I am like
the well I'm being lowered in
Now water stops,
the bucket drops us farther and farther down
Dm 
Am 
Farther and farther down

Verse 3
Am 
D 
F# 
F#m 
F# 
Well, I guess that you never knew me
Dm 
Or at  least not well enough
Am 
So I fill my gut with the dark red wine
Until my brain shuts off and
my eyes go blind

Verse 4
Am 
You won't see me there in that thick black air,
yeah
I'll finally make something
Ebm 
disappear
Am 
'Cause I've been practicing
F# 
disappearing
Dm 
And I think that I've got it down

Verse 5
Am 
Now there is no sun it's just a cellar
Dm 
Nowhere is sky it's just that black,
Am 
black dirt
Now there is no sun it's
Dm 
just a cellar
Am 
Nowhere is sky it's just that black,

Verse 6
black dirt
Am 
Expanding outwards just
Dm 
Am 
echoes for answers
Not that it matters if its back
or its forwards
Unhappy lovers with baskets of flowers
Use them as markers

Verse 7
Dm 
The place where your bed
Am 
once stood
Dm 
A time when it still felt good
Ebm 
F# 
Ebm 
But you'll get that feeling back
Am 
Dm 
You just need sometime to think

Verse 8
Am 
Into out of the hell,
getting straight in your mind
But you calculate cause,
let me take some time
Ebm 
Am 
But I'm sure you get to feelin' better
Em 
Dm 
And I just need some time to drink
Am 
So I'll fill

Verse 9
my gut with that blood red wine
Until my insides swim and my veins unwind
I'll be lying there in that hot white air
Once that something's gone it
Dm 
Am 
Dm 
might never reappear
Am 
It might never
