Today and tomorrow

You love me when I’m gone

Shadows are cast

As rosebush songs paint me pictures

Such sterling mixtures of glory

[Verse]
G B7
At the bottom of Dollar Lake is an old truck
Em C G
And the boards from the bar where my folks first got drunk
Am F
And all kinds of litter that flickered and then sunk
D
To the shallows of our town’s lagoon
G B7
Where I say “How could you love me When I am so frightened
Em C G
By the phantoms of my mind and how they are tightened
Am F
Around all that I find in this world that’s brightened
D
By a magic so tragic each day?”
G B7
Aw, but love don’t exist neath the realest of coffins
Em C G
And real ain’t a place that we’ll have to dwell often
Am F
Epiphanies will tumble and soften till
D
Love’s all that’s left to be found
[Chorus]
G C G D
Surprise me once, show me you know me
G C Em D
If I was mistaken, I’m sorry
G C Em D D
[Last Verse]
G B7
It’s the epitomes of revelations
Em
You’ll all choose the latter
C G
But be so much gladder
Am F D
With your salvation in the sand
G B7
And the fear of sincerity is a disgrace
Em C G
The shadows of your mind should not take the place
Am F
When the turquoise that you find is the kind of trace
D Em C D
That binds to the skin Inside and within
C G/B Am
The light that shines behind your face
[Last Chorus]
G C G D
Our heads are dead in the dread of tomorrow
G C Em D
And when the sky clears our fears will be hollow
G C Em D
Your suburbs are seasons darkening and sullen
G C Em D
The harbors are fleeting, the waters are swollen
G C Em D
The theater’s erupting, the midway is caving
G C Em D
The streets all connect in a way that needs saving
G C Em D
The parking lot trees are bending and rotten
G C Em A7
And so you are too for the love that you’ve gotten
A7
And forgotten
G C
Epiphanies
A7
You’ve forgotten
[Outro]
