                                Mark Kozelek & Jimmy LaValle - By the Time That I Awoke
                                          From album 'Perils from the Sea' 

4x Gm A# D# D#

Gm          A#                D#
I like the powder blue dresses
                                  Gm
The stewardesses wear on Korean Air.
              A#                        D#
The skin's divine and their bodies so fine.
                                                      Gm
They're all the same height and they have the same waistline.
              A#               D#
But there is one who stood apart
                          Gm
Her name-tag read "J.H. Park."
                   A#             D#
She had a white watch and a muted spark,
                                             F
And I thought about her when the night grew dark

       Gm               D#
And my hotel room in Tokyo,
                         F
And by the time that I awoke,
                Gm                      D#
My guitar was broken and in need of repair.
                               F
Thanks for the hassles, Korean Air.
                 Gm                      D#
But I hurled myself through one last show
                                       F
And I made a few friends, Shoko and Koko.
                  Gm                    D#
Walked them down to the train station below,
                                         
Hugged them goodbye and as I walked back I...


Gm            A#              D#
Remembered a girl who I had lost.
                             Gm
She grew up in a cardboard box
       A#               D#
In a town called Dharma.
                                       Gm
She shook my spirit and she rattled my thoughts.
          A#               D#
But I had some love back home,    
                                           Gm 
So I never pursued it or called her telephone number.
    A#                    D#
I wonder if she knew that I had reason,
                                     F
I wonder if she thought that I had used her.

             Gm            D#
And by the time that I awoke,
                                
Around my neck I felt fingers choke.
F           Gm                     D#
I felt a jolt of an electrical sting,
                                  F
I felt the pull of an invisible string.
            Gm          D#
Is it my future falling?

Or is it the past still calling?
F                      Gm                       D#
I can't remember and you can't make me remember

Anything that hurts or makes me shiver.

A#                 D#                    Gm         
I can't remember and you can't make me remember
                 F
My dirty reflection shimmering in the rain.
A#                    D#                    Gm    
I can't remember and you can't make me remember
                   F
Old forgotten blues when we opened my house.
A#                 D#                    Gm        F
I can't remember and you can't make me remember.
A#                 D#                    Gm        F 
I can't remember and you can't make me remember.


2# Gm F A# A#


Gm              A#                    D#
Was five years old the last time I slept
                                    Gm
A quiet night before the loudness crept.
                     A#           D#
I wrote poetry throughout my teens,
                                    Gm
And I far exceeded my childhood dreams.
                    A#           D#
Teachers told me I couldn't write,
                                           Gm
That I'd never make a living or touch anyone's life.
                  A#           D#
People told me I couldn't sing,
                                        F
That I wouldn't amount to much of anything.

             Gm          D#
And by the time that I awoke,

I was 25 years old and crossing an oceans,
F           Gm                D#
Working hard to develop my sound
                                  F
Going city to city, covering ground.
             Gm              D#
And by the time that I had awoke
                                   F
I was one of a handful of the chosen
              Gm                 D#
To take the punches to take the arrows
                                       
To bleed the blood, the blood of sweat.


A#                 D#                    Gm     
I can't remember and you can't make me remember
                          F
Any hurtful words that I endured.
A#                 D#                    Gm     
I can't remember and you can't make me remember
                    F
When I was a lost flockless bird.
A#                 D#                    Gm     
I can't remember and you can't make me remember
                 F
When I couldn't trap bumblebees.
A#                 D#                    Gm     
I can't remember and you can't make me remember
         F                Gm F A# A# Gm F A# A#
Why in a crowd I am so lonely.

Gm              A#           D#
I met the most beautiful lover,
                                 Gm
Walking along the San Francisco Bay.
                 A#           D#
She guides me through the perils,
                              Gm
Through the long, unlit hallways.
                  A#                    D#
Below the surface, beneath the distractions

Beneath my dumb, knee-jerk reactions.
Gm              A#           D#
It's to her I owe everything,

It is for her that my heart sings.

Gm         A#               D#
And by the time that I awoke
                               Gm
the fingers loosened on their choke
            A#           D#
And by the time that I awoke.
