When you were young
D C G
You were the king of carrot flowers
D C D
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
C G
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
G C G D C

And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
D C D
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
C G
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
G, C, G, D, C
G
And this is the room
D C G
One afternoon I knew I could love you
D C D
And from above you how I sank into your soul
C G
Into that secret place where no one dares to go
G, C, G, D, C
G D C G
And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
D C D
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
C G
Each one a little more than he could dare to try
