[E] _ Thinking outrageously, [C#m] I write in cursive, I [A] hide in my bed [F#m] with the lights on the floor.
[E]
Wearing three layers [C#m] of coats and leg warmers, I [A] see my own wrath on the [F#m] face of the door.
[E]
Oh, _ [C#m] I am not quite sleeping.
[A] Oh, _ [E] I am [F#m] fast in [E] bed.
They're on the wall [C#m] in the bedroom, [A] creeping.
I see a wasp [F#m] with her wings _ [E] outstretched.

North of Savannah, [C#m] we swim in the [A] palisades.
I come out wearing [F#m] my brother's red [E] hat.
There on his shoulder, [A] my best friend is bit.
Seven times he runs, washing [F#m] his face in his [E] hands.
Oh, _ [C#m] how I [A] meant to tease him.
Oh, [F#m] how I meant no harm.
[E] _
Touching his back with my hand, I kiss [A] him.
I see the wasp [E] on the length of my [A] arm.

_ wake _ twice a night on _ [A] this day, [E] a little while.
That's great!

_ [A] That's great!
_ [E] I've been here!
In the mud!
_ Deeper in the mud!
I'm safe!
I'm [A] safe!

The state that I'm in, the state of [A] my heart, he was my [E] best friend.
Into [B] the car, [E] from the backseat, oh [A] admiration, and falling [E] asleep.
_ All of [G#m] my powers, day [E] after day, I [A] can tell you, we swaggered [E] and swayed.
Deep in [G#m] the tower, the prairies [E] below, _ I [A] can tell you, the [C#m] telling gets [E] old.
Terrible [G#m] states, and terrible [E]
storms, I [A] can tell you, the [E] day we were born.
My friend is gone, he ran away, I [A] can tell you, [E] alone each day.
Though we have sparred, wrestled and raged, I [A] can tell you, [E] alone each day.
Terrible states, and terrible storms, _ I can tell you, the day we were born.
