[Intro]
E A E B A x2
E
When you were young
B A E
You were the king of carrot flowers
B A B
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
A E
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
A E B A
E B A E
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
B A B
And your dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
A E
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
A E B A
E
And this is the room
B A E
One afternoon I knew I could love you
B A B
And from above you how I sank into your soul
A E
Into that secret place where no one dares to go
A E B A
E B A E
And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
B A B
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
A E
Each one a little more than he could dare to try
B A E
