[F] [Em]
[F] [G]
[Am] [Em]
The [E] year moves [Em] on without you in it
[F] Now it is fall [Em] without you
I [F] had to close the windows and doors
[Em] Without you coming through
[F] I kept them open for as long as [Em] I could
[F] But the baby got [Em] cold
[Dm] I watched the calendar [Em] bulldoze
[F] [G]
[A] [Bm]
This [C] whole past summer was a [G] lingering heatwave
And I [F] remember late August
Our open [G] bedroom window
Going through your things with [F] the fan blowing
And the sound of [G] helicopters and the smell of smoke
[C] From the forest fire that was growing, [G] billowing
Just on the edge of town where [F] we used to swim
They say [G] a natural cleansing devastation
[F] Burning the understory, erasing [G] trails
There is no end
But when [C] I'm kneeling in the heat
Throwing out [Bm] your underwear
[G] The devastation [F] is not natural or good
You [G] do belong here
I reject [F] nature
I [G] disagree
In the hazy light [C] of forest fire smoke
I looked across at [Bm] the refineries and thought
[F] That the world was actually constantly [G] ending
And the smell and roar [F] of the asphalt truck
That was idling just [G] out the window tearing up our street
[C] I missed you, of [Bm] course
[G] And I remember [F] thinking the last time it rained here
You [G] were alive still
And that [F] this same long [C] heat that I was in [G] contained you
And in [C] this same heat I opened the window [Bm] next to you
On your [F] last morning
[G] So you could breathe
And then so you [F] could ghost away
[G] And now so the room [C] will hopefully
[G]
Stop [F] whispering
The [Em]
[F] grind of time I'm [Em] not keeping up with
[F] The leaf on the ground pokes at [Em] my slumbering
[F] Grief walking around, [Em] severed lumbering
[G] [B] But [G] slowly [A] sovereignty [Em] reasserts itself
I [Dm] don't want it though
[Em]
[B] And betrayal [F] winds
Who [Em]
[Dm] and how could I [Em]
[Dm] live?
