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
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
