they're pretty easy so have fun! :)


[Intro]
Dm C


[Verse 1]
Dm
Here and there and gone again

Firefly juice on your skin
       C
You're glowing like an atom bomb

This natural thing that you've undone
Dm
Outgrew older sister's clothes again

Won't admit you're growing tall and thin
    C
You like your body pulling at the seams

You're not prepared for what the future brings
Dm
Curse words and empty cups

Cracked blacktop curling up
C
Heatwave by midday
G
Heat lightning on a summer night
    Dm
And I remember when you used to call

Holed up in the closet in the hall
C
Scared you wouldn't live to forty-five

The same age as your father when he died
G
You'd say, "We need to talk
F
Sneak out, meet me on your block"
Am
I'd sit by you, silent on the curb
C
What to say when there is not a word?
Dm
Spell broke at daybreak

Light another candle on the cake
C
Cartwheel and a broken wrist
                          (Dm)
Skin scarred and sun-kissed


[Interlude]
Dm C x3

[Verse 2]
Dm
When you told me 'bout your first time

The soccer player at the senior high
  C
I felt my body crumple to the floor

Betrayal like I'd never felt before
Dm
I thought back to many years ago

A late-night promise on the telephone
     C
We'd build a house of twigs and vines

Grow old together just to pass the time
G
Now there's only past and present day
  F
I can't believe a word you say
    Am
The future isn't worth its weight in gold
    C             Em             G
The future is a benevolent black hole
