[Verse 1]
N.C. F5 I found you grieving in the grass F5 F5/G The sky bled water colored blue F5/G C7 You seemed so simple sure and sad C7 Bb/F F5 So I sat down to grieve with you
[Verse 2]
F5 You raised your hand to shield your eyes F5 F5/G I shifted left to block the sun F5/G C7 You crossed your legs and cleared your throat C7 Bb/F F5 I waited for your words to come
[Verse 3]
F5 But they slept soundly in your chest F5 F5/G They never made it past your tongue F5/G C7 So we sat silently and still C7 Bb/F F5 And thought about things we'd done
[Verse 4]
F5 And all the people that we'd loved F5 F5/G And all the people that we'd wronged F5/G C7 I watched the years flash through your face C7 Bb/F F5 And I locked my anger in my lungs
[Verse 5]
F5 So every breath stung more and more F5 F5/G A wave of whips across my spine F5/G C7 A billion bees trapped in my chest C7 Bb/F F5 Nails on a chalkboard every time
[Verse 6]
F5 'Til I watched your fingers sneak towards mine F5 F5/G I heard your breath go thin and short F5/G C7 I tucked your hair behind you ears C7 Bb/F F5 And I watched your eyes dart back and forth
[Verse 7]
F5 And I sucked your lip and bit your neck F5 F5/G The trees were shaking at their roots F5/G C7 My angry arms felt cool and calm C7 Bb/F F5 And my cotton mouth was wet with you
[Verse 8]
F5 So we lay glowing in the grass F5 F5/G To watch the sun swap with the moon F5/G C7 To trade our future for our past C7 Bb/F F The present tense was all we knew
