Verse 1] F#5 Does he kiss your eyelids in the morning when you start to raise your head? C#5 And does he sing to you incessantly from the space between your bed and wall? F#5 Does he walk around all day at school with his feet inside your shoes? C#5 Looking down every few steps to pretend he walks with you. F#5 Does he know that place below your neck that is your favorite to be touched C#5 And does he cry through broken sentences like I love you far too much? Chorus 1:
Bm E7 A D Does he lay awake listening to your breath? Bm E7 A D Worried that you smoke too many cigarettes. E F#m Is he coughing now on a bathroom floor? E F#m For every speck of tile there are a thousand more E A* E D E That you won't ever see but most hold inside yourself eternally. instrumental: F#5 C#5 2x Verse 2: F#5 I drug your ghost across the country and we plotted out my death. C#5 In every city, memories would whisper: "Here is where you rest." F#5 I was determined in Chicago but I dug my teeth into my knees C#5 And I settled for a telephone and sang into your machine. F#5 You are my sunshine, my only sunshine C#5 You are my sunshine, my only sunshine Instrumental: Bm E7 A D (2x) end on E Verse 3: F#5 I kissed a girl with a broken jaw that her father gave to her. C#5 She had eyes bright enough to burn me. They reminded me of yours. F#5 In a story told she was a little girl in a red-rouge, C#5 Sun-bruised field and there were rows of ripe tomatoes where a secret was concealed. F#5 C#5 And it rose like thunder, clapped under our hands. F#5 C#5 And it stretched for centuries to a diary entry's end where I wrote, F#5 C#5 You make me happy When the skies are gray F#5 C#5 You make me happy when the skies are gray and gray and gray. Chorus 2: Bm E7 A D Well the clock's heart it hangs inside its open chest with its hands Bm E7 A D E F#m Stretched towards the calendar hanging itself but I will not weep for those dying days. E F#m For all the ones who have left there are a few that stayed. E A* E D E F#5 C#5 And they found me here and pulled me from the grass where I was laid. Outro: F#5 C#5 (4x)
