Part One
F5            Bb5        F5        C5                Bb5
When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers
F5           Bb5      F5      C5                    Bb5
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
C5                          Bb5
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet


F5 Bb5 F5 C5 Bb5

F5                   Bb5      F5         C5              Bb5
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
F5                    Bb5       F5      C5                Bb5
And your dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
C5                        Bb5
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for


F5 Bb5 F5 C5 Bb5

F5             Bb5   F5             C5                 Bb5
And this is the room one afternoon I knew I could love you
F5        Bb5      F5         C5              Bb5
And from above you how I sank into your soul
C5                         Bb5
Into that secret place where no one dares to go


F5 Bb5 F5 C5 Bb5

F5                 Bb5        F5          C5                 Bb5
And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
F5            Bb5     F5       C5                Bb5
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
C5                        Bb5
Each one a little more than he could dare to try

Riff
I love you Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ I love you 
       C5
Yes I do
F5
I love you Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ I love you
      C5
Yes I do

And on the lazy days 

The dogs dissolve and drain away

The world it goes 

And all awaits
                F5
The day we are awaiting

Part Three
F5
All I know

We go through the weight and undertow
                                    C5
I will float until I learn how to swim ,
                               F5
Inside my mother in a garbage bin,
                       C5
until I find myself again,
Bb5
Again, oh.

All I know
We go mouths open wide and spit in stuff
I will spit until I learn how to speak
Up through the doorway as the sideboards creak
With them ever proclaiming me, me, oh

All I know
We go the way the steps fell down and I don?t know,
I will shout until they know what I mean,
I mean the marriage of a dead dog sing
And a synthetic flying machine, machine, oh.
