[Intro]
Am D C Fmaj7/A G/B F6
[Verse]
Am D
I should have known better
C
To see what I could see
Fmaj7/A
My black shroud
G/B
Holding down my feelings
F6
A pillar for my enemies
Am D
I should have wrote a letter
C
And grieve what I happen to grieve
Fmaj7/A
My black shroud
G/B
I never trust my feelings
F6
I waited for the remedy
[Chorus]
Dm F/C G/B
When I was three, three maybe four
F6 ( F/A - G/B ) C
She left us at that video store
G F6 ( F/A - G/B ) C
Be my rest, be my fantasy
G F6
Be my rest, be my fantasy
[Verse]
Am D
I'm light as a feather
C
I'm bright as the Oregon breeze
Fmaj7/A
My black shroud
G/B
Frightened by my feelings
F6
I only want to be a relief
Am D
No, I'm not a go-getter
C
The demon had a spell on me
Fmaj7/A
My black shroud
G/B
Captain of my feelings
F6
The only thing I want to believe
[Chorus]
Dm F/C G/B
When I was three, and free to explore
F6 ( F/A - G/B ) C
I saw her face on the back of the door
G F6 ( F/A - G/B ) C
Be my rest, be my fantasy
G F6
Be my rest, be my fantasy
[Instrumental]
C Fmaj/C G6/B C G6/B
Fmaj/A Fmaj7 G6 C G6/B
[Verse]
C Fmaj7/C
I should have known better
G6/B
Nothing can be changed
C
The past is still the past
G6/B Fmaj/A
The bridge to nowhere
Fmaj7 G6
I should've wrote a letter
C G6/B
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling
C Fmaj7/C
Don't back down,
G6/B
concentrate on seeing
C
The breakers in the bar
G6/B Fmaj/A
the neighbor's greeting
Fmaj7 G6
My brother had a daughter
C G6/B
The beauty that she brings, illumination
C Fmaj7/C
Don't back down,
G6/B
there is nothing left
C
The breakers in the bar,
G6/B Fmaj/A
no reason to live
Fmaj7 G6
I'm a fool in the fetter
C G6/B
Rose of Aaron's beard, where you can reach me
C Fmaj7/C
Don't back down:
G6/B
nothing can be changed
C
Cantilever bridge,
G6/B Fmaj/A
the drunken sailor
Fmaj7 G6
My brother had a daughter
C G6/B Fmaj7 G6 F
The beauty that she brings, illumination, illumination
