E                      A*  E         B              A
  When you were young, you were the king of carrot flowers 

E                  A* E     B                    A
 And how you built a  tower tumbling through the trees

B                          A                   E
 In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
A E B A [Verse 2]
E                         A* E          B            A
 And your mom would stick a  fork right into daddy's shoulder

E                    A* E        B              A
 And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor

B                               A                       E
 As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
A E B A [Verse 3]
E                     A*  E    B                   A
 And this is the room one afternoon I knew I could love you

E               A*  E     B              A
 And from above you how I sank into your soul

B                             A              E
 Into that secret place where no one dares to go
A E B A [Verse 4]
E                        A* E       B          A
 And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking

E                    A* E       B                 A
 And dad would dream of all the different ways to die

B                            A
 Each one a little more than he could dare to

I love you, Jesus Christ

E               E
Jesus Christ, I love you

      B
Yes I do
And on the lazy days
    B
The dogs dissolve and drain away

    B
The world it goes and all awaits

    B
The day we are awaiting
E A E B (x4) (Part Three) (tempo change) [Intro] E A* E B* (x2) [Verse 1]
E
Up and over we go

E
through the wave and undertow

E                                 B
I will float until I learn how to swim

                              E
Inside my mother in a garbage bin

                    B
Until I find myself again

 B
Again, oh-oh-oh-oh
E A* E B* (x2) [Verse 2]
E
Up and over we go

E
Mouths open wide and spitting still

E                                B
I will spit until I learn how to speak

                                        E
Up through the doorway as the sideboards creak

                            B
With them never proclaiming me

B
Me, oh
E A* E B* (x2) [Verse 3]
E
Up and over we go

    E
The weight it sits on down and I don't know

E                                   B
I will shout until they know what I mean

                                  E
I mean the marriage of a dead dog sing

                          B
And a synthetic flying machine

  B
Machine,

E  A*  E  B* (x2)
oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh

[Outro]
E  A*  E  B* (x2)
Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh
