[Verse 1]
D G
I've been keeping a pretty marginal regard of my health
Em A D G
I think I'm relatively stable and I'm physically well
D G
but this sadness is just something I can't mitigate
Em A D G
because Gus would've turned 22 today
[Pre-Chorus]
A
I've been drinking
Em7 D
I've been drinking till I see his ghost inside my head
A
and I'm happy
Em7 G
and I almost don't remember that he's dead
[Chorus]
D F#m G
if he could see me now, would it save me from the pain I'm in?
D F#m G Em
if I could just reach out and touch his face, then I could stay with him
A G D
and I'd be so much better
A G D
we would be together
A G D
he'd keep me forever
Em G
but forever's too long for me
[Verse 2]
D G
Gus had a cigarette in his hand
Em A D G
we did acid in the morning and it just kicked in
D G
we were walking on the bridge behind the art museum
Em A D G
he leaned over on the side and he felt the light
Em A D G
and he said that he could fly, so I let him try
[Pre-Chorus]
A
and I stared at him
Em7 D
he looked just like a baby bird floating up in flames
A
and he fell over
Em7 G
took 7 hours just to find his corpse in the rain
[Chorus]
D F#m G
if he could see me now, would it save me from the pain I'm in?
D F#m G Em
if I could just reach out and touch his face, then I could stay with him
A G D
and I'd be so much better
A G D
we would be together
A G D
he'd keep me forever
Em G
is forever too long, no, it's never too long for me
