πΈ Intro:
D G D G 2x
D Bm 2x
πΈ Verse 1:
D
Flip a coin with your strange hands not quite woman not quite man
G
It might land somewhere in the middle or somewhere out of reach
D
And if I ever learn my name I'll carve it in a park bench and I'll stare
G
Till the letters don't look like anything
Chorua 1:
D G
I'll stare, just like you stare with judgment and uncertainty
A G
This park bench is a sacred place though it's far from Eden's garden
A G
It protects me from intrusive thoughts and eyes made prone to wander
Bm
And if you ever find me here, you best leave me to my thinking
G A A7
Or I'll be going, going, going, gone I'll be traveling on
πΈ Interlude:
D G 4x
πΈ Verse 2:
D
Cast a spell with crooked teeth not quite dull and not quite sweet
G
It might look something like a photo out of frame and out of focus
D
And if I ever learn my name I'll carve it in a dogwood and I'll cry
G
With a weight that shoulders as broad as mine could never bear
πΈ Chorus 2:
D G
How much you carry too much you carry
A G
This dogwood is a sacred tree though it's far from Satan's garden
A G
It holds me like my mother and it smells just like my father
Bm
If you ever find me here, you best leave me to my thinking
G A A7
Or I'll be going, going, going, gone I'll be traveling on
πΈ Outro:
D G 4x
