Intro: D  A/C#  Bb6  D  Bm  A9  G

        D   A/C# Bb6  D
In the wet grass out back
Bm   A9        G
We spread the sheet
          D  A/C# Bb6   D
And with one last easy laugh
Bm   A9     G
The night released
      D       A/C#       Bb6        D
We breathed the dark, the shaking stars
Bm             A9     G
The distant, constant cars
        D   A/C# Bb6 D
Breathed the sweet
Bm    A9    G
Air between us

( G  A  Bm ) (2x)

( D  A/C#  Bb6  D )

Bm   A9      G
What was it like?
        D     A/C#    Bb6        D
To be young, strong, stupid and drunk
Bm   A9      G
Soft in the jagged night
   D A/C# Bb6  D
My open, rosy throat
Bm      A9     G
Dekeing secret knives
D      A/C#        Bb6  D
Now we close these petals
       Bm    A9  G
To the oncoming ice

D                   A                    G
And I'm not coming out, I'm not coming out,
D              A                   G
I'm not coming out, I'm not coming out. (2x)

F#                         B
My love, my love is dead I buried it
       D#m                       B                 F#
In the falling leaves, looking awful green, in the whipping wind
F#                         B
My love, my love is dead I buried it
         D#m                  B                   F#
And it's better hid, all the shit we sling into the whipping wind
F#                         B
My love, my love is dead I buried it
       D#m              B              F#
Just an honest kid, I always did everything they said
F#                         B
My love, my love is dead I buried it
       D#m
What a senseless thing!
     B                      F#m
This heart in shreds in the whipping wind!

( F#m  B  D#m  B  F#m )
