Oh, well, who was I?
C/G
Who was I to watch you wilt?

You ain't gotta tell me what it means

And the pain that I am in

Across that county line

I promise to be there this time

Howlin' like dogs in the light of the moon

Holdin' our breath after 1:32

You asked me why I wasn't sayin' a word

I'm naming the stars in the sky after you
Am
I was a work of art

To spiral out, to try and float

To see a friend, to see a ghost
C G
Bitter-brained, always drunk
Em
Rail-thin, Zoloft
C G
Subtle change, shorter days
Em
Dead-eyed, dead weight
C G
Your life, your dreams
Em
Your mind, your needs
C G
My needs
Em
Your needs
C G Em
My needs
Final
