C minorCm AbAb C minorCm
So, while you?re fixing up your bed
AbAb C minorCm
And while you?re organizing drawers,
AbAb Bb majorBb BB C minorCm
Could you just listen to the problems had with problems of yours.
AbAb C minorCm
And what?s that note you?re writing there?
AbAb C minorCm
Why are you giving me this back?
AbAb Bb majorBb BB Eb MajorEb
This was a gift from when we met back when you weren?t so upset.?
Eb MajorEb G minorGm AbAb
I called in sick from your funeral.
Eb MajorEb G minorGm AbAb
The sight of your body made me feel uncomfortable.
Eb MajorEb G minorGm Bb majorBb BB
I couldn?t recognize your shell.
C minorCm AbAb C minorCm
Your branching off had met an end
AbAb C minorCm
From all the weight that made you bend.
AbAb Bb majorBb BB C minorCm
And when you tried to shed your leaves you pined for warmth as they said
AbAb C minorCm
?Your lack of love for your dear self
AbAb C minorCm
is sapping all of us here out.
AbAb Bb majorBb BB
Trace your roots back to the ground work out the knotholes for yourself.?
Eb MajorEb G minorGm AbAb
I called in sick from your funeral.
Eb MajorEb G minorGm AbAb
The sight of your family made me feel responsible.
Eb MajorEb G minorGm
and I found the notes you left behind;
AbAb
little hints and helpless cries,
Eb MajorEb G minorGm AbAb
desperate wishing to be over.
(Instrumental - hit the Eb MajorEb once and then several hits of each following note):

AbAb C minorCm Bb majorBb
You said you?re trapped in your body
AbAb
and getting deeper every day.
C minorCm Bb majorBb
They diagnosed you born that way.
AbAb
They say in runs in your family.
C minorCm
A augmentedA conscious erasure of working class background
Bb majorBb
where despair trickles down
AbAb
imbalanced chemical crutch. Open up. Swallow down.
C minorCm Eb MajorEb AbAb
You said ?remember me for me. I need to set my spirit free.?
Eb MajorEb G minorGm AbAb Eb MajorEb
I called in sick from your funeral. (I called in sick! I called in sick!)
G minorGm AbAb
Tradition of closure nearly felt impossible.
Eb MajorEb
I should have never gave my word to you;
Bb majorBb
not a cry not a sound.
AbAb
Might have learned how to swim, never taught how to drown,
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
you said ?remember me for me?.
AbAb (hold)
I watched you set your spirit free
