E
So that’s it?
B F#
Eternity equates to forever walking towards without arriving any place?
A
With some beasts leashed
F#
And the rest so hung up on the majesty of having two functioning feet
E
Don’t con yourself with comfort
B
Don’t talk about the future
F#
In the fur patch shaved and sutured, in the tangle of tubes where I lose you
A
Everything is changed
F#
And the rest of us remain
E
So could we exchange our lifespans?
B
Or would that be a shitty deal?
F#
My eight potential decades, sloppy, selfish and unreal
G#m F# E
For your thirteen years of walking in one clear, pure line
G#m
Even with all this ridiculous talking
F#
Even with all this ridiculous talking
G#m
Even with all this ridiculous talking
F#
Even with all this ridiculous talking
B F#
I can never get through and I can’t get any help
G#m F# C#
I can just stand here in front of you and embarrass myself
E B
So drag me out of the river in a backwards baptism
F#
Take it back to the beginning
A
To make sure there’s no revisions and we are all of one mind
F#
While we watch this reel rewind
E B
And I see myself there completely lightweight wasted on like a single drink
F#
In 2003 in Baltimore, smashing my first flip-phone on some piss-soaked alley floor corridor
A
Crimes of the heart, crimes of the convenience store
F#
A whole history of crimes felt more important at that time
G#m F# B E
I see them all from last to first as they play out in reverse
G#m F# B E
I get to find everything I ever lost, I get to uncast every curse
G#m F# B E
See every upturned motorcycle, every page from every bible
G#m F# B E
All my acid stomach mornings and my nights of deep survival
G#m F# B E
See those horses in the stables, teenage tears and jumper cables
G#m F# B E
See me rattled and insane from all the changes strange and mangled
G#m F#
See that never-ending room filled up with everything consumed
B E
A pile of everything consumed to fill a never-ending room
G#m F# B E
Hear every song sung to a dog on every walk with every dog
F# B
Yeah, every song sung to a dog on every walk with every dog
