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

      DmDm
Were you surprised that we never spoke?
                       Dm(add9)
Then in the still of the night, when nothing stirs
       DmDm
I woke and I gathered up some clothes.
                  Dm(add9)
I never planned on this but its the way it goes
      DmDm
and 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
   DmDm
and I can't believe how down I am like the well I'm being lowered in,
                   Dm(add9)      DmDm
now water stops, the bucket drops us farther and farther down.

    B7B7                 G(b5)7
Well I guess that you never knew me, or at least not well enough.
   DmDm                               Dm(add9)
So I fill my gut with dark red wine until my brain shuts off and my eyes go blind.
     DmDm
You won't see me there in that thick black air.
                 Dm(add9)
Yeah, I'll finally make something disappear.

         B7B7
Because I've been practicing disappearing
   G(b5)7
and I think that I've got it down

  DmDm
But now there is no sun just a cellar
               Dm(add9)
Nowhere is sky its just that black, black dirt yeah.
  DmDm
But now there is no sun just a cellar
               Dm(add9)
Nowhere is sky its just that black, black, black, black

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


      B7B7
But you'll get that feeling back
        G(b5)7
Yeah, you just need some time to think
    DmDm
And to add up the hell, get it straight in your mind

But to calculate cost, that may take some time
    B7B7
But I'm sure you'll get to feeling better
       G(b5)7
Yeah, I just need some time to drink

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