intro:


G C

verse 1:

G
Kneel down on hardwood
C
Place your sweet words, like cherries
G                       C
Hot breath soft into my mouth
G

Dig up your weary body
C
Drink off the edge of worry
G                             C
Bomb the grassy hill into the center of the earth
      Am                               D
While the gears beneath this evil city limp along on fumes
    G                                        C
And grind through spirits twice as strong as mine
Am                                D
We desert flowers bloom at night, gathered ‘round the fire
     G                                 C
With burning plastic, howling laughing eyes
Am              D                    G
They never know how much it means to me

G C  (4x)

Verse 2:

G
Rip through the screen door
C
Let yellow light, likе comets out
G                      C
Because nothing can contain you
G
You nеver knock, no
C
You know i leave the door unlocked
G                         C
So that you could call it home too
Am
And we all know this battered house
D
Is doomed to renoviction
G                           C
All i ask is “hold me for a while”
Am                          D
And help this brutal summer day

Slip to haphazard memory
G                                      C
Crushin’ hard through flat beer on the roof
Am                   D                   G
There’s nowhere else that i would rather be

G C  (2x)

verse 3:

G                            C
And in the bulk aisle jacket pockets full of stolen cherries burst
G                        C
And i am lost in selfish daydream
G                  C                           G C
I am a bad friend, i'd like to prove it to you
G                       C
Take a load off, people watchin' on the sidewalk
G                                          C
Hearts full of townie pride and half baked rants against the government
      G                                   C
Cause who can you really trust that isn't 86'd from ralphs?
    G                        C
But don't get me started on olympia in spring

G C  (4x)

Verse 4:

G                       C                                  G C
Cowards never die, so i guess ill just keep seeing you around
           G                                C
I hear the whistle blow at 5, we're killing time
                                   G C
In sardonic, huddled groups downtown
            G                                C
Wake up and all i see are cherries, rainbows behind the lucky 7
G                   C
Long term memory in pieces on the floor
              G                                       C
You brought a bottle to the beach, so they're always there beneath your
cheeks
               G                       C                   G
Scratchers and cherries in the sun for everyone i know, yeah
C                  G     C
Cause its been a hard year
