[Verse 1]
E F# B F# Light struck from the lemon tree A G#m F# E B C#m B What if I’d never seen hysterical light from Eugene? E B F# G#m Lemon yoghurt, remember I pulled at your shirt F# E I dropped the ashtray on the floor B C#m B I just wanted to be near you
[Verse 2]
E F# B F# Emerald Park, wonders never cease A G#m F# E B C#m B The man who taught me to swim, he couldn't quite say my first name E B F# G#m F# Like a Father he led community water on my head E And he called me “Subaru” B C#m B And now I want to be near you
[Verse 3]
B A#m6 G#m F# E D#m6 F# Since I was old enough to speak I've said it with alarm B A#m6 G#m F# E Some part of me was lost in your sleeve D#m6 F# Where you hid your cigarettes E No I’ll never forget B C#m B I just want to be near you
[Verse 4]
E F# B F# Still I pray to what I cannot see A G#m F# E B C#m B In the sprinkler I mark the evidence known from the start E B F# G#m F#m From the bed near your death, and all the machines that made a mess E Far away the falcon flew B C#m B Now I want to be near you
[Verse 5]
E F# B F# What’s left is only bittersweet A G#m F# E B C#m B For the rest of my life, admitting the best is behind me E B F# G#m F# Now I’m drunk and afraid, wishing the world would go away E What’s the point of singing songs B C#m B If they’ll never even hear you?
