Well it came to me in darkness yeah, it came to me and it said
Am G F C Am G C
though you might find comfort in the outside love is only in your head.
Am G C Am G E
And I wanna shut off everything that's out there shut off and shut in
Am G F C Am G C
because the only time I ever know what is mine is when I have to watch it end.
Am G C Am G E
And I wanna apologize to my mother you know she only wants what's for the best
Am G F C Am G C
but like every little worm still crawling through the earth, we don't know what's a-comin' next.
Am G C Am G E
Not many preachers I know still come around here those who do are just preaching to the deaf
Am G F C Am G C
because when I go down I'm going way way fucking down to scrape the bottom 'til there's nothing left.

And all of the trees that surround this town will take in the things we put in the ground
C Am F G C
and they will turn them into oxygen.
(the rest of the song is the same)
I slept my way down through New Hampshire woke up in Burlington
having dreamt of burning sage and unforgivable mistakes and I'd forgotten every one.
And blues for the timekeeper just keep on lookin' at the watch these late nights
become early morning to come undone
and I've been walking under ladders because nothing really matters and what's a-
comin' is a-bound to come.
And I've seen the people that I love lying on the sidewalk and now I'm wondering
what I am going to tell my friends
except that I have one hell of a story to tell if I can find where this one ends
So there's a little bird outside my window every now and then she says, "The only
reality is what you make up,"
so I will think it I will dream it, I will say it and I will scream it and I'll
admit that I'm in love.
With all of the trees that surround this town and how they take in the things we
put in the ground and then they'll turn us into oxygen.
