     Am
For half of my short life I've kept

     G
a drawer in my room for all the

  D                         Em
little trinkets I consider gold

   Am
Photographs, bottle caps,

   G
Lanyards, flowers, crumpled maps,

  D                B           Em
Things that look particularly old

     Am
The plan has always been

               G
That I should throw them out the window

         B7
If the building were to catch on fire

 Em
Given the dogs were safe outside

          Am
But the drawer is full of trash

             G
and I could turn it all to ash

             Am
Just for the fleeting joy I'd get from adding

More smoke to the sky

B                C
Well sharks are smooth if you pet them one way

           G
They are spikey you pet the other

            D                 B                  Em
And my mom said that if they stop moving they'll die

Am
Hammerheads swim past

I've got my face up against the glass

       D                           G
