Verse:
D
In the year of the Get You Alone
Bm
I got you alone
D
And I showed you that I'd been drinking
Bm
In a handful of words
Em
The lecture landed all kinds of places
A
Places with vistas of buckthorn and tamarack.
Em
Can you measure remorse in invasive species?
A
Will they hang their heads and swear not to grow back?
[Refrão]Chorus:
G D
All my love
Bm A F
What have we become?
G D
Crippled by joy
Bm A D (use Dsus4 and Dsus2
And pursuit thereof also for variation)
Verse:
D
In the year of the Get You Alone
Bm
I got you on a boat
D
And I did all my drinking at home,
Bm
before we got to the shore
Em
Don't look down now,
A
But this water has a sinister motive
Em
It's carving out my confidence
A
And flooding my crumbling home
[Refrão]Chorus:
G D
All my love
Bm A F
What have we become?
G D
Crippled by joy
Bm A G D Bm D G Em7
And pursuit thereof
Verse:
Bm
Somebody's sleeping with director's daughters
D
And taking drugs I've never tried
Bm
I drink at home most days now
D
And sometimes sleep with my wife
Bm
And I lost my job in a kitchen
D
Guess I belong in this city's withered arms
Bm
Cradled in her unset broken ulna,
D
Spangled by dishwater tears
Like silver bracelet charms
Em7
I don't love her
Like I love you
D
I've been saving up my money,
A
Gonna buy us a new car
Em7
This city
She taught me a thing or two,
D
To take a ride from anyone
Going far, far, far away from
[Refrão]Chorus/OUTRO:
G D
All my love
Bm A F
What have we become?
G D
Crippled by joy
Bm F#m G D
And pursuit thereof
