When I look back, tracing fingertips
      F
over plastic bags
Em                  C         Bm
Thinking, "I wish I could extrapolate


             Em
some small intention

for a minute or two"

Verse :

Will I die? Or will I get to that
Em
ten-year mark?

Where I beat the extinction of telomeres?

And if I do, will you be there with me

Will the baby be alright?
       F           G
Will I have one of mine?
      F
Can I handle it even if I do?
               G
It's said that my mind

Is not fit, or so they said
F
to carry a child
C                Am
 I guess I'll be fine





Verse :

             F
It wasn't my idea,

the cocktail of things that
                  Dm
twists neurons inside
                      G
But without them
I'd die
                            E7
They say there's irony in the music
F
it's a tragedy
I
    Dm            G
See nothing Greek in it

Give me a mausoleum in

Rhode Island with Dad
E7
Grandma
Grandpa, and Dave
                      F
Who hung himself real high
             Dm G
In the National Park sky,

it's a shame
                     G#dim
and I'm crying right now
   Am
To get to you, save you
E7
if I take my life

Find your astral body
G       D#dim
put it into my eyes
                        F
Give you two seconds to cry
               G
Take you home
I
I'll give you a blanket

Your spirit can sit and watch
G#dim    Am
TV by my side
              D G
'Cause, baby
I

Ran through a time when
                E7
I felt you were doing it




Verse :

F
I couldn't handle it
I was in Monaco
F
I couldn't hear what

they said on the telephone
G
I had to sing for the prince in two hours
G
Sat in the shower
                E7         Dm
Gave myself two seconds to cry
        Dm           G
It's a shame that we die




Verse :


When I was fifteen, naked
C
next-door neighbors did a drive-by

Pulled me up by my waist
F           C
long hair to the beach side
         F
I wanted to go out like you,

swim with the fishes
     C
That he caught on

Rhode Island beaches
                     Em   F
But, sometimes, it's just not your time




Verse :

    G
Caroline, what kind of **** was she to say
                   E
I'd end up in institutions?
    F
All I wanted to do was kiss
       G             C
Aaron Greene and sit by
    Am             F
The lake, twisting lime into
                G
the drinks that they made

Have a babe at sixteen
E7
the town I was born in
F
and died




Verse :

      Am        G
Aaron ended up dead and not me

What the freak's wrong in
            C
your head to send me away,

never to come back?
        G
Exotic places and people don't take the
       E7            F
place of being your child
  Fm                         C
I give myself two seconds to cry




Verse :

        Am        G
Let it crash over me
Like the waves in the sea
               E7 F
Call me Aphrodite
        G
As they bow down to me




Verse :

Dm         E
Sunbather, moon chaser
F            G
queen of empathy
                  E7          F
I give myself two seconds to breathe
                              G
And go back to being a serene queen
                             E7 F
I just needed two seconds to be me
