I saw the redwoods and I thought of you
D
As a child danced in another room
Em7
In another room
G D
I see the shape of our shadow
[Verse 2]
D
Plastic plants that never bloom
D
I fear the smell of quiet rooms
D
Did someone say everything was fine?
D
That everything was fine
Em7 G
Or did I dream that for a time?
D
I see the shape of our shadow
[Chorus]
G
I guess it seems like we're racing
G
To some kind of a station
D
I dreamt it was different

So much I was different
Bm C G Em
That we could be ageless forever more
D
And then everything was lost
[Instrumental]
D
[Verse 3]

I've been searching 'cause I'm out of place

Left alone in, in a purgatory
Em7
And the swinging door
G D
Begging me to stay
Em7
It seems beside your bed
G D
I saw the shape of our shadow
[Chorus]
G
I guess it seems like we're racing

To some kind of a station

I dreamt it was different

So much I was different

That we could be ageless forever more
D
And now everything is fucked
[Instrumental]
D Em7 G D
[Bridge]
G
Take me back upstate

To where we have fallen

Lost in the Hudson

Dog in the morning

Maybe I'll miss you

See you in another time
D
And now everything is fucked

And everything is fucked

And everything is fucked, fucked

And everything is fucked
