C majorC
The greener grass grows where the wildfires fertilize
C majorC
With ashes of sparrows, peppered moths, and butterflies
DmDm          FF          C majorC
Ghosts of trees and termites bloom in the beanstalk

C majorC
And if you get lightheaded when standing too fast
C majorC
Is it from shaking out the weight of phosphenes and past
    DmDm          FF             C majorC
Salt deposits on warm little rivers that burst from our words

Pre-Chorus:
  G+G        FF          C majorC
And God knows crying ain't gonna change a thing
  G+G           FF        C majorC    Cmaj7Cmaj7 C7C7
She said take care, but I take more than I bring


Chorus:
       FF                C majorC
She said "It just feels inhumane to lose this much"
       FF                    C majorC   Cmaj7Cmaj7 C7C7
Cuz when you leave you know, you take more than your love
       FF              C majorC
Just one week of cicada days, we're losing touch
       FF                C majorC
And I know it just feels inhumane to lose this much

DmDm FF


Verse 2:
C majorC
Our nerves were braided under ceiling stars, they were all
C majorC
Glow-in-the-dark, hanging over queen-sized
DmDm       FF
Purple waves of ancient chemicals
   C majorC         DmDm   FF
Just whispeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer

C majorC
Did you ever build with those endangered bones?
N.C.   C majorC            C7C7       DmDm
Well, the ground looks soft enough to bury this now
 FF       C majorC
Oh, please, oh no

Pre-Chorus:
      G+G         FF        C majorC
And then my sponsor said, "Do nothing, nothing works"
      G+G          FF       C majorC     Cmaj7Cmaj7 C7C7
And then my doctor said, "Don't do that if it hurts"


Chorus:
       FF                C majorC

       FF                 C majorC
Don't let me leave, I'll only take more than I gave

Okay, I'll pack my stuff
      FF                C majorC
Here at the end of days, my God, what have I done?
        DmDm       FF            c        DmDm FF
Christ, now it feels damn inhumane to get all I've dreamed of, woaaaah

One day at a time, tomorrow's too late, amen
