Intro: D A/C# Bb6 D Bm A9 G
D A/C# Bb6 D
In the wet grass out back
Bm A9 G
We spread the sheet
D A/C# Bb6 D
And with one last easy laugh
Bm A9 G
The night released
D A/C# Bb6 D
We breathed the dark, the shaking stars
Bm A9 G
The distant, constant cars
D A/C# Bb6 D
Breathed the sweet
Bm A9 G
Air between us
( G A Bm ) (2x)
( D A/C# Bb6 D )
Bm A9 G
What was it like?
D A/C# Bb6 D
To be young, strong, stupid and drunk
Bm A9 G
Soft in the jagged night
D A/C# Bb6 D
My open, rosy throat
Bm A9 G
Dekeing secret knives
D A/C# Bb6 D
Now we close these petals
Bm A9 G
To the oncoming ice
D A G
And I'm not coming out, I'm not coming out,
D A G
I'm not coming out, I'm not coming out. (2x)

My love, my love is dead I buried it

In the falling leaves, looking awful green, in the whipping wind

My love, my love is dead I buried it
D#m B F#m
And it's better hid, all the shit we sling into the whipping wind

My love, my love is dead I buried it

Just an honest kid, I always did everything they said
F#m B
My love, my love is dead I buried it

What a senseless thing!

This heart in shreds in the whipping wind!
