D MajorD   A augmentedA          B minorBm         G+G
 We emerged from youth all wide-eyed like the rest
D MajorD     A augmentedA  B minorBm     G+G
 Shedding skin faster than skin can grow
  D MajorD          A augmentedA
And armed with hammers, feathers, blunt knives
B minorBm        G+G       D MajorD      A augmentedA    B minorBm
Words to meet and to define and to, but you must know
  D MajorD         A augmentedA         B minorBm        G+G
The same games that we played in dirt, in dusty schoolyards
      D MajorD        A augmentedA    B minorBm  G+G
Has found a higher pitch and broader scale
   D MajorD     A augmentedA       B minorBm       G+G
Than we feared possible, and someone must be picked last
  D MajorD          A augmentedA    B minorBm
And one must bruise and one must fail
  D MajorD          A augmentedA       B minorBm     G+G
And that still twitching bird was so deceived by a window
   D MajorD     A augmentedA     B minorBm      G+G
So we eulogized fondly, we dug deep and threw
  D MajorD    A augmentedA      B minorBm      G+G       D MajorD
Its elegant plumage and frantic black eyes in a hole
      A augmentedA       B minorBm       G+G        D MajorD     A augmentedA
And then we rushed out to kill something new, so we could bury that too
     B minorBm     G+G      D MajorD      A augmentedA    B minorBm
The first chapters of lives almost made us give up altogether
D MajorD       A augmentedA       B minorBm    G+G
Pushed towards tired forms of self-immolation
   D MajorD      A augmentedA     B minorBm      G+G
That seemed so original, I must, we must never stop
D MajorD      A augmentedA      B minorBm      G+G
Watching the sky with our hands in our pockets
   D MajorD     A augmentedA        B minorBm       G+G
Stop peering in windows when we know doors are shut
   D MajorD       A augmentedA      B minorBm      G+G
Stop yelling small stories and bad jokes and sorrows
  D MajorD       A augmentedA        B minorBm
And my voice will scratch to yell many more
G+G     D MajorD         A augmentedA     B minorBm    G+G
But before I spill the things I mean to hide away
  D MajorD         A augmentedA       B minorBm     G+G
Or gouge my eyes with platitudes of sentiment
   D MajorD         A augmentedA       B minorBm     G+G
I'll drown the urge for permanence and certainty
    D MajorD         A augmentedA         B minorBm G+G    D MajorD
Crouch down and scrawl my name with yours in wet cement
