Can I handle it even if I do?

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

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

I felt you were doing it

I couldn't handle it
I was in Monaco

I couldn't hear what

they said on the telephone

I had to sing for the prince in two hours

Sat in the shower

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

   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?

Exotic places and people don't take the
    E7      F
place of being your child
 Fm             C
I give myself two seconds to cry

Let it crash over me
Like the waves in the sea

Call me Aphrodite

As they bow down to me

Sunbather, moon chaser

queen of empathy

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
