Dm
were you surprised that we never spoke?
Dm ( add9 )
then in the still of the night , when nothing stirs
Dm
i woke and i gathered up some clothes .
Dm ( add9 )
i never planned on this but its the way it goes
Dm
and now it all seems so familiar like pages turned on calendars
Dm ( add9 )
we get the same twelve months to fxxk things up , year after year
Dm
and i can’t believe how down i Am like the well i’m being lowered in ,
Dm ( add9 ) Dm
now water stops , the bucket drops us farther and farther down .

B7 G ( B5 ) 7
well i guess that you never knew me , or at least not well enough .
Dm Dm ( add9 )
so i fill my gut with dark red wine until my brain shuts off and my eyes go blind .
Dm
you won’t see me there in that thick black air .
Dm ( add9 )
yeah , i’ll finally make something disappear .

B7
because i’ve been practicing disappearing
G ( B5 ) 7
and i think that i’ve got it down

Dm
but now there is no sun just a cellar
Dm ( add9 )
nowhere is sky its just that black , black dirt yeah .
Dm
but now there is no sun just a cellar
Dm ( add9 )
nowhere is sky its just that black , black , black , black

Dm
dirt . expanding outwards just echoes for answers
Dm ( add9 )
not that it matters if its back or its forwards .
Dm Dm ( add9 )
unhappy lovers with baskets of flowers
Dm
use them as markers
Dm ( add9 ) Dm Dm ( add9 ) Dm
the place where your bed once stood a time when it still felt good .

B7
but you’ll get that feeling back
G ( B5 ) 7
yeah , you just need some time to think
Dm
and to add up the hell , get it straight in your mind

but to calculate cost , that may take some time
B7
but i’m sure you’ll get to feeling better
G ( B5 ) 7
yeah , i just need some time to drink

Dm
so i’ll fill my gut with that blood red wine
Dm ( add9 )
until my insides swim and my veins unwind .
Dm
i’ll be lying there in that hot white air once
Dm ( add9 ) Dm ~end on Dm
that something’s gone it might never reappear .
