mewithoutYou – In A Sweater Poorly Knit (Guitar)

F#m                                            E
  In a sweater poorly knit and an unsuspecting smile

                                      F#m
Little Moses drifts downstream in the Nile

                                   E
A fumbling reply, an awkward rigid laugh

                                               F#m
and I'm carried helpless by my floating basket raft

                                                E
Your flavor in my mind swings back and forth between

                                            F#m
sweeter than any wine, as bitter as mustard green

                                                     E
And it's light and dark as honeydew and pumpernickle bread

                                                     A
The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead

F#m                                              E
  Go plow some other field and try and forget my name

                                                       F#m
We'll see what harvest yields and supposing I'd do the same

                                                   E
I planted rows of peas, but by the first week of july

                                                                F#m
They should have come up to my knees, but they were maybe ankle high

                                                       E
Take the fingers from your flute to weave your colored yarns

                                               F#m
and boil down your fruit to preserves in mason jars

                                                 E
And the books are overdue and the goats are underfed

                                                     A
The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead

A    C#m  A    C#m  A    C#m     E
  Ah-ah,    ah-ah,    ah-ah,  oh oh-o-o-oh

F#m                                              E
  You're a door without a key, a field without a fence

                                                     F#m
You made a holy fool of me and I've thanked you ever since

                                                       E
And if she comes circling back, we'll end where we'd begun

                                                            F#m
Like two pennies on the train track, the train crushed into one

                                                        E
But if I'm a crown without a king, if I'm a broken open seed

                                                  F#m
If I come without a thing, then I come with all I need

                                                     A
The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead
