Verse
F# C# F# C# F# C# Bbm G#
Now that the treatment and anti-depressants and seven months sober have built me a bed
F# C# F# C# F# C# Bbm G#
in the back of your brain, where the memories flicker, and I paw at the synapses, bright bits of string
F# C# F# C# F# C# Bbm G#
you should know I am with you. Know I forgive you. Know I am proud of the steps that you’ve made.
F# C# F# C# F# C# Bbm G#
Know it will never be easy or simple. Know I will dig in my claws when you stray.
F# C# C# G# F#
So let us rest here, like we used to, in a line of late-afternoon sun.
F# C# C# G# C#
Let it rest— all you can’t change. Let it rest and be done.
