Am  D  C  Fmaj7/A  G/B  F6


Verse:

Am                        D
I should have known better
                    C
To see what I could see
         Fmaj7/A
My black shroud
                 G/B
Holding down my feelings
                   F6
A pillar for my enemies

Am                        D
I should have wrote a letter
                             C
And grieve what I happen to grieve
          Fmaj7/A
My black shroud
                  G/B
I never trust my feelings
                     F6
I waited for the remedy


Chorus:

Dm           F/C                 G/B
When I was three, three maybe four
                    F6           (F/A - G/B) C
She left us at that video store
      G            F6            (F/A - G/B) C
Be my rest, be my fantasy
      G            F6
Be my rest, be my fantasy


Verse:

Am                        D
I'm light as a feather
                         C
I'm bright as the Oregon breeze
         Fmaj7/A
My black shroud
                 G/B
Frightened by my feelings
                    F6
I only want to be a relief

Am                        D
No, I'm not a go-getter
                         C
The demon had a spell on me
         Fmaj7/A
My black shroud
               G/B
Captain of my feelings
                          F6
The only thing I want to believe


Chorus:

Dm           F/C                 G/B
When I was three, three maybe four
                    F6           (F/A - G/B) C
She left us at that video store
      G            F6            (F/A - G/B) C
Be my rest, be my fantasy
      G            F6
Be my rest, be my fantasy

Verse:

C                       Fmaj7/C
I should have known better
                G6/B
Nothing can be changed
                      C
The past is still the past
    G6/B              Fmaj/A
The bridge to nowhere
                       Fmaj7       G6
I should've wrote a letter
                  C          G6/B
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling


C          Fmaj7/C
Don't back down,
                G6/B
concentrate on seeing
                    C
The breakers in the bar
    G6/B                Fmaj/A
the neighbor's greeting
                       Fmaj7       G6
My brother had a daughter
                  C          G6/B
The beauty that she brings, illumination


C           Fmaj7/C
Don't back down,
                 G6/B
there is nothing left
                    C
The breakers in the bar,
    G6/B              Fmaj/A
no reason to live
                       Fmaj7       G6
I'm a fool in the fetter
                  C          G6/B
Rose of Aaron's beard, where you can reach me


C          Fmaj7/C
Don't back down:
                G6/B
nothing can be changed
           C
Cantilever bridge,
    G6/B             Fmaj/A
the drunken sailor
                   Fmaj7       G6
My brother had a daughter
                     C        G6/B       Fmaj7  G6
The beauty that she brings, illumination,     illumination
