Were you surprised that we never spoke?

                                             Cm(add9)
Then in the still of the night, when nothing stirs

             Cm
I woke and I gathered up some clothes.

                                    Cm(add9)
I never planned on this but its the way it goes

           Cm
and now it all seems so familiar like pages turned on calendars

                                                 Cm(add9)
we get the same twelve months to fuck things up, year after year

      Cm
and I can't believe how down I am like the well I'm being lowered in,

                                     Cm(add9)            Cm
now water stops, the bucket drops us farther and farther down.

       A7                                  G(b5)7
Well I guess that you never knew me, or at least not well enough.

     Cm                                                             Cm(add9)
So I fill my gut with dark red wine until my brain shuts off and my eyes go blind.

          Cm
You won't see me there in that thick black air.

                                  Cm(add9)
Yeah, I'll finally make something disappear.

                  A7
Because I've been practicing disappearing

    Cm
But now there is no sun just a cellar

                             Cm(add9)
Nowhere is sky its just that black, black dirt yeah.

    Cm
But now there is no sun just a cellar

                             Cm(add9)
Nowhere is sky its just that black, black, black, black

Cm
dirt. Expanding outwards just echoes for answers

                                       Cm(add9)
not that it matters if its back or its forwards.

Cm                                  Cm(add9)
   Unhappy lovers with baskets of flowers

Cm
   use them as markers

                     Cm(add9) Cm                   Cm(add9)  Cm
the place where your bed once stood a time when it still felt good.

           A7
But you'll get that feeling back

       Cm
And to add up the hell, get it straight in your mind

        A7
But I'm sure you'll get to feeling better

        Cm
So I'll fill my gut with that blood red wine

                             Cm(add9)
until my insides swim and my veins unwind.

        Cm
I'll be lying there in that hot white air once

                               Cm(add9)  Cm        ~end on Cm
that something's gone it might never reappear.
