C Am G F
i said to you on the night that we met , “i Am not well
C Am G F
our habits secrete to the sidewalk and street , our civic hell
C Am G F
we covet the dark , share a cab to the park and you let me
C Am
speak of bearings undone , silver hair in the sun
G F C F
we are only 30% dead and our parents go to sleep early
C F C F G
we destroy all of our esteem and the sunlight starts to shine through the trees

C Am G F x2

C Am G F
the noise on this block keeps my mind interlocked and unfastened
C Am G F
we struggle shed skin , heavy breath is a deadly assassin
C Am G F
my sister’s eyes flood like rivers or wine in your absence
C Am
so we echo each song to which you’d sing along
G F
a surrogate hymn and we’ll sing it again
C F
and we’ll smoke til our pockets are empty
G F
a person cannot live without sleep
C F
and you can’t hold up a story so heavy
G
we tell it so rarely

C F
and in this place i think about you
C F
the spirits and veins that you run through
C F
and in this place i think about you
