Biography:
Cory Branan is a singer/songwriter, born in Southaven, Mississippi. He garnered comparisons to Ryan Adams, Pete Yorn, and Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst with the release of his 2002 debut album The Hell You Say.

[Intro]
G Am C
[Verse]
Em Emmaj7 Em7
That summer night
C
Was freckled with fireflies
Em Emmaj7
You had a look that I was either
Em7 C
Too young or too dumb to recognize
Am Am/B C D
But I remember that moon, I remember that night
Am
Sure as hell remember that light
A
That shimmering light
D7
You were hemorrhaging light
[Chorus]
Em
Imogene
Am G
How couldn't things be alright
Em
Imogene
Am G
Why couldn't we be alright
[Verse]
Em Emmaj7 Em7 C
You could say that I was never there enough
Em Emmaj7 Em7
You could say that I'm a no-account ne'er-do-well, roustabout, detestable, itinerent, excrable degenerate
C
Fair enough
Am Am/B C D
You could say that I was a waste of your time
Am A D7
But to say I tried to make you cry is just asinine
[Chorus]
Em
Imogene
Am G
Can you imagine me trying
Em
Imogene
Am G
Have you ever seen me try
[Bridge]
Bm
We poked fun at the pain
D
We stoked the sun in the rain
Am Am/B
You was a runaway train
C D
I was a runaway train
G Am
But in the bloom of the wreckage
C
We were one in the same
D D7
We were one in the same
We were one in the same
[Verse]
Em Emmaj7 Em7 C
This coming night could still do you some good
Em Emmaj7 Em
The sun is setting just as red as when you used to blush
C
I know it's been a while now mama, but you used to could
Am Am/B
We've got to act on the embers
C D Am A
Ash won't remember the way back
D7
To fire
[Chorus]
Em
Imogene
Am G
Is there anything you require
Em
Hey Imogene
Am G
Name a single thing you desire
