Mason Jennings Pittsburgh from Blood of Man Tabbed by Drew Langworthy Tuned half a step down G Em G Em My mom'd give me twenty and say "Stay out till dawn" C Am C G When her boyfriend was over and they wanted me gone G Em G Em I would walk through the woods to the old graveyard C Am C G Em And roll my own tops and think two kinda thoughts C Em Are we high enough to clear these trees? G Em I don't know G Em G Em That was the summer Dave's girlfriend OD'ed C Am C G She died in the bathroom at a party down the street G Em G Em I went to see him the next night, he had a new tattoo C Am C G He was watching home movies of her, his face was wet, he looked so confused G Em G Em They had a funeral for her, the preacher said she was with the Lord C Am C G Em There were lots of pictures of her taped to a poster board C Em Are we high enough to clear these trees? G Em I don't know C Em Are we high enough to clear this place? D I don't know C G Grocery stores in the middle of the night shine their own kinda light C G High school halls and shopping malls never fit me right C D But my heart would swing free like a lasso from my hand C D When I'd hear that sound and put the pedal down G Em G Em I wound up that fall in a hospital C Am C G Em On the suicide wing with a lot of people thinkin' one thing G Em G Em They had a sign on the wall that said "No touching at all" C Am C G Em There were screams in the dark, nurses running down the hall G Em G Em On the night that I got there, they showered me and searched me hard C Am C G Em Then they took me to my little room overlooking a graveyard G Em G Em When I opened my eyes I was strapped to the bed C Am C G Em There was a needle in my arm, part of me was gone G Em G Em Then they took us outside in our slippers and gowns C Am C G Em To play basketball on the blacktop, the ball just bounced till it stopped C Em Are we high enough to clear these trees? G Em I don't know C Em Are we high enough to clear this place? D I don't know C G Grocery stores in the middle of the night shine their own kinda light C G High school halls and shopping malls never fit me right C D But my heart would swing free like a lasso from my hand C D When I'd hear that sound and put the pedal down G Em G Em When the leaves were wet behind the old duplex C Am C G Em We used to run at night naked through the trees G Em G Em And you would lean back against me and I would try to stay soft C Am C G Em We'd listen to the engines as the planes took off
