[Verse 1]
G D
The frayed shaft of the sun
Em C
Makes the tower in the light jump into falsetto
G D
What do you consider fun?
Em C
We can settle in the bandshell and play games with the echo
[Chorus]
G D
I wanted to write you a short song
Em
But I didn't have time
C
So I wrote you a long one
D G D Em C
It made gods of garlic and vine
[Verse 2]
G D
They say find what you love and let it kill you:
Em C
No, find what you love and let it keep you alive
G D
The dawn leapt from its bed and dissolved the stars
Em C
We went from counting our blessings to counting cars
G D
And the bars on the window
Em C
Anything to keep our heads from our pillows
[Chorus]
G D
I wanted to write you a glad song,
Em
But I didn't have time
C
So I wrote you a sad one
D G D Em C
And made gods of garlic and vine
[Bridge]
G D
We sat on a bench and watched roses end
Em C
Let one oar sweep the water, and the other swept the strand
G D Em C
I shut my mouth, hymning the rising sun
G D
It got sadder and it got weirder, then I was gone
C G/B
Found this iron bar
Am
Make a spade for me
Am G/B C G/B Am
With what's left, make a hoe for me.
Am G/B C G/B Am
With what's left, make an axe for me.
Am C G/B Am
With what's left, make a dagger for me.
[Verse 3]
G D
Won't be fire, it’ll be water next time
Em C
Keep a stained-glass conscience and a burrowing mind
G D
We know so few ways to begin a life
Em C
So many ways to leave one behind.
[Chorus]
G D
I wanted to write you a sad song,
Em
but I didn't have time
C
So I wrote you a bad one
D G D Em C
And made gods of garlic and vine

I wanted to write you a glad song,
Em
but I didn't have time
C
So I wrote you a sad one
D G
It made gods of garlic and vine
