[Verse]
F Em When I look back, tracing fingertips
F
over plastic bags Em C Bm Thinking, "I wish I could extrapolate
Em
some small intention Bm Em Or maybe just get your attention
C D
for a minute or two" [Verse]
F Will I die? Or will I get to that
Em
ten-year mark? F Em Where I beat the extinction of telomeres? Dm And if I do, will you be there with me,
E7
Father, Sister, Brother? [Verse]
F Charlie, stop smoking G Caroline, will you be with me? Will the baby be alright? F G Will I have one of mine? F Can I handle it even if I do? G It's said that my mind Is not fit, or so they said,
F
to carry a child C Am I guess I'll be fine [Verse]
F It wasn't my idea,
the cocktail of things that
Dm
twists neurons inside G But without them, I'd die E7 They say there's irony in the music,
F
it's a tragedy, I Dm G See nothing Greek in it Give me a mausoleum in
Rhode Island with Dad,
E7
Grandma, Grandpa, and Dave F Who hung himself real high Dm G In the National Park sky,
it's a shame
G#dim
and I'm crying right now Am To get to you, save you,
E7
if I take my life Find your astral body,
G D#dim
put it into my eyes F Give you two seconds to cry G Take you home, I, I'll give you a blanket Your spirit can sit and watch
G#dim Am
TV by my side D G 'Cause, baby, I Ran through a time when
E7
I felt you were doing it [Verse]
F I couldn't handle it,
I was in Monaco F I couldn't hear what
they said on the telephone G I had to sing for the prince in two hours G Sat in the shower E7 Dm Gave myself two seconds to cry Dm G It's a shame that we die [Verse]
When I was fifteen, naked,
C
next-door neighbors did a drive-by Pulled me up by my waist,
F C
long hair to the beach side F I wanted to go out like you,
swim with the fishes C That he caught on
Rhode Island beaches Em F But, sometimes, it's just not your time [Verse]
G Caroline, what kind of **** was she to say
E
I'd end up in institutions? F All I wanted to do was kiss
G C
Aaron Greene and sit by Am F The lake, twisting lime into
G
the drinks that they made Have a babe at sixteen,
E7
the town I was born in,
F
and died [Verse]
Am G Aaron ended up dead and not me What the freak's wrong in
C
your head to send me away,
never to come back? G Exotic places and people don't take the
E7 F
place of being your child Fm C I give myself two seconds to cry [Verse]
Am G Let it crash over me Like the waves in the sea E7 F Call me Aphrodite G As they bow down to me [Verse]
Dm E Sunbather, moon chaser,
F G
queen of empathy E7 F I give myself two seconds to breathe G And go back to being a serene queen E7 F I just needed two seconds to be me
