Intro: G

G
Take the train to Frankford
Em              B
I won’t answer when they call
   C                    Cm      G
I guess that’s just my gift to myself
G
Drank a lot and danced to The Cure
Em                   B
Holding on for dear life
C                       Cm                          G
To the frayed edge of a feeling we misplaced years ago
     D                 C               G
And knowing we should really get back home

G

G
Made mistakes
                Em              B
The plants died young, like all good things
       C                    Cm
But I wish my small self had known
                  G
How much water to use
G
Still some nights I find
      Em                 B
The ideas that bring me rest
                    C                Cm               G
Are the ones that used to prod and pester and keep me up
D                     C          G
Swinging open doors I swore I’d shut

D       C
Pouring pewter
Em                  G              C
Amassing coins to displace debt to you
      D            C
My straight-line shooter
Em
Let me learn here
G        Bm     C    G
I am in pursuit of all I can undo

G

G
Entertain the cancer
Em             B
We all answer upwards either way
C            Cm            G
The waiting game is tied again
G
Backs of hands and phrases
Em
Misplaced gazes
B                 C           Cm                        G
Things we still deny to selves and hesitate to talk about

D
A call from high school two drinks in
C
I smiled but you could not see
      Em           Eb              D                   C
Your tin can cell receiver hummed its New York static song
          C
The lever pulled and all at once
                Am
The floor was false
The center seam divided
Em                      Eb
Lace and well-pressed cotton
           D                 C
Found the flood we’d since forgotten

We still leave our shoes at the door
                              Am
Before we wring out our wet clothes
             G          C
Across your floor and future
Em                     Eb      C
Stitch the gaps that destiny assumed
G            C
With floral sutures
         Em            Eb           C
Are you hiding or have I abandoned you?
G
Let me learn here
Bm        C         G     Bm     C
I am in pursuit of all I can undo
