Dm / / / |Dm / Dm(add9) / | x2

DmWere (xx0231@1)you surprised that we never spoke?
                                             Dm(add9)
Then in the still of the night, when nothing stirs
             DmI (xx0231@1)woke and I gathered up some clothes.
                                    Dm(add9)
I never planned on this but its the way it goes
           Dmand (xx0231@1)now it all seems so familiar like pages turned on calendars
                                                 Dm(add9)
we get the same twelve months to fuck things up, year after year
      Dmand (xx0231@1)I can't believe how down I am like the well I'm being lowered in,
                                     Dm(add9)            Dmnow (xx0231@1)water stops, the bucket drops us farther and farther down.

B7 (x21202@1)                                G(b5)7
Well I guess that you never knew me, or at least not well enough.
     Dm (xx0231@1)                                                           Dm(add9)
So I fill my gut with dark red wine until my brain shuts off and my eyes go blind.
          DmYou (xx0231@1)won't see me there in that thick black air.
                                  Dm(add9)
Yeah, I'll finally make something disappear.

B7Because (x21202@1)I've been practicing disappearing
      G(b5)7
and I think that I've got it down

DmBut (xx0231@1)now there is no sun just a cellar
                             Dm(add9)
Nowhere is sky its just that black, black dirt yeah.
    DmBut (xx0231@1)now there is no sun just a cellar
                             Dm(add9)
Nowhere is sky its just that black, black, black, black

Dmdirt. (xx0231@1)Expanding outwards just echoes for answers
                                       Dm(add9)
not that it matters if its back or its forwards.
Dm (xx0231@1)                                Dm(add9)
   Unhappy lovers with baskets of flowers
Dm (xx0231@1)  use them as markers
                     Dm(add9) Dm (xx0231@1)                 Dm(add9)  Dmthe (xx0231@1)place where your bed once stood a time when it still felt good.

B7But (x21202@1)you'll get that feeling back
               G(b5)7
Yeah, you just need some time to think
       DmAnd (xx0231@1)to add up the hell, get it straight in your mind

But to calculate cost, that may take some time
        B7But (x21202@1)I'm sure you'll get to feeling better
             G(b5)7
Yeah, I just need some time to drink

DmSo (xx0231@1)I'll fill my gut with that blood red wine
                             Dm(add9)
until my insides swim and my veins unwind.
        DmI'll (xx0231@1)be lying there in that hot white air once
                               Dm(add9)  Dm (xx0231@1)      ~end on Dmthat (xx0231@1)something's gone it might never reappear.
