shattered at dawn

so far for so long

feeling newly baptized thinking

i don’t want this thing to end

all the blue sky

where our stony paths meet
Cm Gm
coffee color sheets
A# Cm
looking down at pale knees
G# A#
with a cigarette and the morning beat

under the blue sky

last night at the bar
G# D#
i was wrong , i was only hurting
G# D#
and you were acting too polite
Cm
and we held on to the pain
Fm
through the storms and the rain
G# A#
like a crumpled , empty , discarded
D#
