Damien Jurado – Kalama (Guitar)

A              D A
Mother do you know how

Bm      D        D A
All of this has changed us?

  A      D A
I was a fool who

Bm      D      D A
Would always defend you!

 A                  D A
Was I wrong to like the others

 Bm           D         D A
Sisters and brothers abandon?

  Bm
Forgive my living

  D
Keep me from breathing

  Bm
A house that is standing

   D
Is no house at all

 A           D A
Mother is it easy

 Bm        D      D A
Knowing that I will die soon?

A                  D A
Will you keep me as ashes

 Bm           D           D A
Placed on the mantel or thrown out?

A              D A
Mother do you know now

Bm            D           D A
Love is not painless it's poison?

Bm
Forgive my living

D
Keep me from breathing

Bm
A house that is standing

D
Is no house at all
