Julien Baker – Tuesday (Guitar)

     G                          D
Left Georgia for Tennessee when I was eighteen

      Bm                     C
Met a girl named Tuesday who shined her light on me

        G                     D
She was five foot nine with a storm in her eye

       Bm                         C
And of all the shoulders on which she could've cried

    G           D
She picked mine

           Bm  C
She picked mine

F                 C
Now I wish that I hadn't

G                Am  F
Stepped down and lied

             C        G
When I acted like it was

        Am  F
Nothing to me

               C
And if I could only

G          Am  F
Go back in time

      C            G     Am
I'd rewrite our whole story

          G
Well, her mama caught wind

     D
That her daughter's friend

Bm                       C
Might be of the wrong persuasion

             G
Next thing I know, her mama's calling

D
Telling her daughter

Bm                              C
Just the thought of it made her sick over the toilet

           G                      D
Instead of backing me up, Tuesday melted right down

Bm                                     C                G
Asked me to write her mother and say, "Sorry for the confusion"

                         D
That of course there had been no sin

   Bm                        C
To emphasize how much I love Jesus

G       D  Bm  C  F
And men

                  C
How I wish that I hadn't

G                Am  F
Stepped down and lied

             C        G
When I acted like it was

        Am  F
Nothing to me

                           C
'Cause that night, for the first time

G        Am   F
I took a knife

       C       G
To the paper-thin

        Am    F
Skin on my arm

            C
Oh my Lord, oh my Christ

G           Am  F
Is this the end?

          C      G
I heard myself cry

         Am  F
From the tile

                 C                   G
The darkness of eternal night started

        Am  F
Closing in

              C
And I thought surely

   G       Am
No future exists

G              D
Tuesday, now I hardly think of you

    Bm               C
But when I do I only think of shame

           G                   D
And girl I tell ya, if I could do it again

Bm                      G
I sure as hell wouldn't do it the same

F              C
No, I cannot believe that

G                  Am  F
I stepped down and lied

              C
I should have told

G     Am       F
You I loved you

          C
And now I know that

G              Am     F
Your shame was not mine

         C      G
And I am perfect

      Am
In my Lord's eyes

      G                 D
For a decade, I let you live in my head

                                  G
But with this exorcism, I put our story to bed

                                     D
And one more thing: If you hear this song

                       C
Tell your mama she can go suck an egg
