Sufjan Stevens, "Eugene" (Official Audio) chords
Start Jamming...
[E] And light [F#] struck from [B] the lemon tree
[E]
What if [G#m] I'd [B] never seen
Hysterical [E] light [B] from Eugene
A
[E] [B] lemon yolk
[F#] [B] Remember [G#m] I pulled at [F#] your shirt
I dropped the ashtray [E] on the floor
I just [B] wanted to be near you
[E]
[B] Emerald bark, wonders never cease
The man who taught me to [F#] swim
He [E] couldn't quite say [B] my first name
[E] [B] Like a father [F#] he led
[B] Community water on [F#] my head
And he called me [E]
Subaru
And now I [B] wanna be near you
[D#m] Since I [B]
was old [F#] enough [E] to speak
[B] I've said it with alarm
[D#] Some part [G#m] of me was [F#] lost [E] in your sleep
[B] Where you hid your cigarettes
No one ever [E] forgets
I just [B] wanna be near you
[E] Still [B] I pray to what I cannot see
[G#m] In the sprinkler [B] I mark the [E] evidence
Snow from [B] the start
From
[E] [B] the bed near [F#] your death
All [B] the [G#m] machines that made [F#] a mess
Far away the [E] falcon flew
Now I wanna [B] be near you
[E]
[B] What's left is only bittersweet
For the rest of my life
[E] Admitting the past is [B]
behind me
[E] Now [B] I'm drunk [F#] and afraid
Wishing [G#m] the world would [F#] go away
What's the point of singing [E]
songs
If they'll never [B]
even hear you?
[N]
