Chords for Two - The Antlers (Cover)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ In the middle of the night I was sleeping, sitting out
[Ebm] Doctor came to tell me that enough was enough
I got out into the hall at night, swore I was [Eb] haunted
He told me [Db] something that I didn't know
That I wanted [Gb] to hear that there is nothing that I can do to [Ebm] save you
Choir's gonna [Gb] sing, this thing [Ebm] is gonna kill
There's something in my throat, my last words shake
[Eb] And something in the water's made [Db] the light bulbs [Gb] break
There's glass inside my feet and raining down from [Ebm] the sea
It opened up the scars that had just finished here
It's a water pump cannon running down your [Db] femur
Thought that it was beautiful, it made me a believer
[Gb] But as he opened I could hear you howling from the room
[Ebm] I hid out in the hallway until the hurricane blew
And when I reappeared I was hiding, hoping for the pain
[Eb] Came on, hey, me again, you sang in your refrain
[Gb] But you had a new dream, [Db] it was more like the [Ebm] night
You were just a little kid, and they cut your hair
And they stuck you in the shins, you came so [Gb] close to dying
They [Db] should've listened, they thought [Ab] that you were lying
[Gb] Thought he was a jerk, he [Eb] screwed you up
[Ebm] Like tears in your head, he graces that rock
And no one paid attention, he just stopped [Db] eating
Eighty-seven pounds, [Ab] that's all bears [Gb] repeating _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] He told me when he sank so we became so unhappy
[Ebm] Wearing silver rings with nobody laughing when we moved here
Together we were so disappointed
[Eb] Sleeping out of tune with our dreams [Gb] disjointed
He told me to see you, he always [Ebm] rejected
But I didn't mind the things he flew, my bones all deflated
So I didn't mind you claiming me for your mistakes
[Eb] I just held you in the doorframe through all of the earthquake
[Gb] He packed up your clothes in that bag every night
[Ebm] I would try to grab your ankle, what a pitiful sight
[B] Then after over a year I stopped trying to [Eb] stop you
From stopping at that door and coming back like you always
Back like you always do
[Gb] But no one's gonna fix it for us, no one can
He said [Ebm] that no one's gonna listen, no one understands
And so [B] there's no big guns, no way to get through
[Eb] There are no other witnesses, just us two
With [Gb] those two people living in [Eb] one small world
[Ebm] With your two half families staring at you
Two ways to solve a story, no longer [Db] worrying
Two silver rings on the fingers that I'm [Gb] hurrying
Two people talking inside my [Ebm] brain
Two people believing that I'm the one to blame
Two separate voices rolling out of my mouth
[Eb] Me too cold to care, too sick to shout
[Gb] But you had a new dream, [Eb] it was more like a night
[Ebm] When you were just a little kid
And they cut your hair and they [B] stuck you in machines
You came so close to dying [Eb] but they should've listened
They thought that you were [Gb] lying but Daddy was a jerk
He screwed you up, [Ebm] he put those gears in your head
Now he graces them up and no one paid attention
When [Gb] you just stopped [Db] beating
Eighty-seven pounds, that's all there is [Gb] repeating
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _
_ Eighty-seven pounds, all there is repeating
[Gb] _
