[Verse]
F C Bb
When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers
F C Bb
and how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
C Bb F Bb F C Bb
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all 'round your feet
F C Bb
and your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
F C Bb
and dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
C Bb (F Bb F C Bb repeat x2)
as we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
F C Bb
and this is the room one afternoon I knew I could love you
F C Bb
and from above you how I sank into your soul
C Bb F Bb F C Bb
into that secret place where no one dares to go
F C Bb
and your mom would drink till she was no longer speaking
F C Bb
and dad would dream of all the different ways to die
C Bb (F Bb F C Bb repeat x4)
each on a little more than he could dare to try
