[Verse 1]
D G The land's opening up like a blanket D G And the dandelions spread themselves thickly out D A D Along the fields, which are, evidently, endless D G And we are hotly in love with one another D G We've got an unquenchable thirst in our throats D A We are, for some reason, all the time bleeding D N.C. We are friendless
[Chorus 1]
D G And we love these dogs D G That roll on the lawns here in Galesburg D A D Because they seem to know something nobody else knows D G It is written in the smiles on their faces D G And it rings in their high young voices D A We are burning up all of our choices up here G Where the tall grass grows D Up here in Galesburg
[Interlude]
G D G D A D
[Verse 2]
D G The sky's opening up like an old wound D G And the rain on our bodies is warm tonight D A D And the ground underneath us shakes in the cracking thunder D G We can taste fresh blood in our mouths again D G There is no chance of getting enough of it D A D N.C. And we tally up all our posessions, we're going under
[Chorus 2]
D G Yeah, we love these dogs D G that loll in the rain here in Galesburg D A D As the new season rocks them in its terrible arms D G They howl as if the world were ending D G As we are watching the sky unwinding D G Some of our promises were binding A Up here where our dreams take form
[Outro]
D G Up here in Galesburg D Up here in Galesburg
