As recorded by Kevin Devine (2015 release) [Intro] D [Verse 1]
           Gmaj7
Today your ghost

                  C
Suspended from my ceiling

         Gmaj7             D
Asked if I remembered Germany?

             Gmaj7
And that one club

                      C
Upstairs backstage in Gießen

               Gmaj7                           D
We rolled coke joints that Bracco thought were weed
[Bridge]
Em                   Gb
And when we told him quick

                 Bm
Before he took a hit

              Em
His eyes were wounded

G                        Em
Sick confusion, shock surrounded

          A7                            
"What the fuck guys are you kidding me?"
[Interlude] D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D [Verse 2]
       Gmaj7
Lately I've

                   D
Been looking for a reason

          Gmaj7                    D
Something clean that I could wrap around

       Gmaj7
An argument 

                D     
For leavin' my apartment

            Gmaj7                   D
To walk the world the way I feel it now
[Bridge]
Em                 Gb7
I wasn't scared of death

                 Bm
Until it took my friend

         E7
I wasn't ready

           G                    Em
We've been planning, let's make music

        A7                            Gb
We both miss it and it's been too long

    Bm                E7
And so the best I can do

               G
Is write you a song

              D   Gb     Bm
On the guitar you gave me

                E7
And try to make sense

                   G
Of the hole in the ground

                   D      Gb      Bm
That swallowed our future history

            E7
And to show up

            G
Be present enough

               D             Gb    Bm
For all of our friends, your family

          E7                   G Gb
And for myself, take care of myself
[Outro]
Em                     Gb7
And since I heard that night

                       Bm
There's been a hundred times

               E7
Were something happened

            G                   Abm7
I'd like to call you, I don't believe it

       A                            Gb
When I remember that I can't and why

    Bm Dm G    
Goodbye
