[G] September [Dm] 29th, [G]
1984, dear so-and-so
[Dm] Gather me up because [G] I'm lost
Or I'm back [Dm] where I started from
[G] I'm crawling on the floor, [Dm] rolling on the ground
I [G] might cry, I won't [Dm] go home
[G] So here's the story, I [D] am turning up in circles
And I'm [G] spinning on my knuckles
[Dm] Don't forget that there are circles left [G] undone
Very close to me, [Dm] forgive me, [G] comfort me
[D] I'm crawling on the floor, rolling [G] on the ground
There's a [Dm] blanket wrapped [D] around my head
[G] I'm moving in a line, it's shaped [Dm] like this
I am, [G] I am holding in my breath, I have [D] a room
Can [G] you tell if I am lying?
[Dm] Don't forget that I'm living inside [G] the space where walls and floor meet
[Dm] A box inside my chest, [D] an animal, stuffed with my frustration
Can you hear me?
[Dm] Don't forget that I'm [D] alone on your way
You make me act like other people do, forgive me
[Dm] Comfort me, you [G] comfort me
You [Dm] make me die, I'm gonna [G] cry, I won't [Dm] go
[G]
Don't [Dm] kill the God of sadness, just [G] don't let her get you down
[Dm] See the man inside the [D] book I read can't [G] handle his own head
So [Dm] what the hell am I supposed to [A] do?
I'd like to know how he died
[Dm] My hands are shaking, don't you [D] love me anymore?
I only need a person, keep my shoulders turned around
Lie down, move your hand [Dm] above the floor
[D]
[Dm] Gather me up because [G] I'm lost
Or I'm back [Dm] where I started [D] from
Crawling on the floor, rolling on the ground
I'm [G] gonna cry, you [Dm] look for me
[D]
Love, Christ and [G] PS, keep them coming
