This is a song that every time I play it live I fuck it up.
Okay, so this is more or less kind of exactly how I record.
Mirror's on my lap, guitar holding it in place.
[F#] Wind, [B] no wind in my room.
[E] [N] Boy, those of you who gamble, you want to put your bets down as to whether the wind is going to fuck this up for us.
[F#] I want your hair clip.
[E] I [D] thought you'd never ask.
[Bm]
[A]
[C] [B]
[E] [G#]
[N] Well, we'll see.
There is wind.
[E]
There may be some awkward [F#] pauses in the rhythm.
I want you to consider those like the scratch breaks.
Y'all can throw in a [E] scratch or two.
We
[A] [E]
live high out of gorges.
On the alcohol we feed it.
And it grows all fat and friendly.
We have surplus if we need it.
We hold [E] on as hard as we can.
[A]
Our knuckles are flat.
We write letters to each other.
Invent secrets to confess to.
We learn foreign and exotic terms of endearment by which to address you.
We feed fresh [A] fruit to one another.
We stay up [E] all night.
And I am [B] healthy.
I am whole.
But I [E] have poor impulse control.
And I [E] want to go home.
[B] But I am whole.
[E]
We are strong.
We are faithful.
We are guardians of our air.
We play close, careful attention.
To the news the evening air brings.
We show [A] great loyalty.
[E] To the hard times we've been through.
We are filled with riches and wonders.
Our love keeps the things it finds.
And we dance like drunken sailors.
Lost at sea, out of our minds.
You find [Em] shelter [A] somewhere in me.
[A] I take great comfort in [E] you.
[B]
[E] And I can leave [F#] you safe from harm.
[C] You hold [E] me in your [B] arm.
And I want to go home.
[F#] But I am whole.
[E]
