You walk by the magazines sitting on the rack at the CV--S
F# A# B F# G# G# F
One more sad movie star divorce, three hundred died in an airplane wreck
F# A# B G# G# C#

But you can tell me everything and we’ll ride on that wave

Dad hit you on the hand just for holding your chopsticks wrong
F# A# B F# G# G# F
Then your mom locked you in a shed and Uncle Sam dropped an atom bomb
F# A# B G# G# C#
But you’re not alone, you can let it go and just weep on my breast
F# A# B F# G# G# F
And cover me with your tenderness and that pain will pass

Face tsunamis together
