Part One: (Continued)
Am7 D
That sick man so shiny in his slump
Am7 D
Doubled over like a water pump
C D
He was dribbling out from his nostrils
C D
Onto his ankles leaking like Aprils
Am7 D
Yeah the thaw had already begun
Am7 D
We could hear the earshot from your cabin
C D
In the holy boldness your cheeks purpled and pinked
C D
There in the coldness with some sort of instinct
Am7 D
Oh the fluency, me with my hands cupped
Am7 D
Catching currency that you made it erupt
C D
The quiet of spilling right after the stilling
C D
Why it was chilling our hot windowsilling
Am7 D
I see your stature when breathing and turning
Am7 D
Smoking the black blur as if somethings burning
C D
Remember the gray-slate coming of some thrill
C D
The low sky of too-late up on Bunker Hill
Bridge

Em D Am (Riff)
And the whirling eddies sprayed off the semis tail
Em Bm C D
The curling snow-traps of your hair
Em D Am (Riff)
Feeling warm inside the swarms of hail
Em Bm C D
The foreign planet of some diner we found there
Em D Am (Riff)
So my brother and I saddle up some horse
Em Bm C D
And watch the snow thinning with the thawing
Em D Am (Riff)
Another will die, rattle me so coarse
Em Bm C D
Will it leave me grinning or awing?
Em Bm C D
Will it leave me grinning or awing?
Em Bm C D
Will it leave me grinning or aw..
