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 x2 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
