Chords

[Refrain: Turntan]
G
Lost to these linens
My tasteless affections
    C
Are buried in the past

G
Feelings so fleeting
Yet never completing
    C
The thoughts I quelled to last

   G
It saw too

             C
I saw to it, Anna

  G
I saw too

             C
I saw to it, Anna
[Turntan & Stitches]
Em  Bm   C
       I caught a line, I caught a line

Em  Bm   C
         Clinging to my own devices
[Turntan]
Gmaj7
Craving sleep when the evening comes
Strip me down to a heart and lungs
  Am
I always sang about ya

Gmaj7
Terrified of how waking life walks
Frightened frame with a shirt that talks
  Am
I tripped over the moon about ya

G
Steadfast in nature
The scenes on my pages
     C
Were all mirages now

G
Everything's vexing
I'm more unconvincing
     C
Than both my parents now

G   D   Em  G        C
Oh, oh, oh, I waited up for you

G   D   Em      G             C
Oh, oh, oh, you said that you wanted me too

G   D   Em  G        C
Oh, oh, oh, I waited up for you

G   D   Em  G          Cmaj7
Oh, oh, oh, twenty-one years for you
Twenty-one years for you [Verse: Turntan]
  G
I woke with a headache

   Bm
My bones and my body

           G7                          C
Screamed, "Son, where the hell is your head?"

  Cm
I reached for some water

   D
To quench the fire

       C                G
That's burning up in my bed

G
Haze like a fever

  Bm
I fell like a dreamer

    G7                 C
For sweet tea and lemonade

   Cm
It clings to my T-shirt

     D
It's loud and it lingers

C                     G
Designed to suffocate
[Verse: Turntan]
  G
I light up to find

          Bm
What I've known all this time

       G7                C
There's some beauty here yet

    Cm
The folks in town

         D
Have the kindest eyes

           C                     G
But you'll drown in the ways you set

     G
I'll flee like that fever

Bm
Lost to that dreamer

    G7                     C
All pale-faced for leaving be

    Cm
Our time is a-coming

    D
But my heart is humming

      C                   G
For a girl that I can't see

         G        Bm
You're a traveler

     G7             C
Your heart is heavy now

         Cm        D
You're a traveler

C                            G
Fresh out of your mother's house

         G        Bm
You're a traveler

     G7             C
Your heart is heavy now

You're a traveler

C                            G    Cm   G   Cm   G
Fresh out of your mother's house
