Part One
F               Bb        F        C                Bb
When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers
F            Bb      F      C                    Bb
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
C                          Bb
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet

 F  Bb  F  C  Bb

F                   Bb      F         C              Bb
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder
F                    Bb       F      C                Bb
And your dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
C                               Bb
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for

 F  Bb  F  C  Bb

F                Bb   F          C                   Bb
And this is the room one afternoon I knew I could love you
F         Bb    F         C              Bb
And from above you how I sank into your soul
C                              Bb
Into that secret place where no one dares to go

 F  Bb  F  C  Bb

F                    Bb   F          C               Bb
And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
F               Bb     F         C                 Bb
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
C                             Bb
Each one a little more than he could dare to try

I love you Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ I love you
       C
Yes I do
F
I love you Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ I love you
        C
Yes I do

And on the lazy days
The dogs dissolve and drain away
The world it goes
And all awaits
                    F
The day we are awaiting

Part Three
F
All I know
We go through the weight and undertow
                                                C
I will float until I learn how to swim
                                         F
Inside my mother in a garbage bin
                             C
Until I find myself again
Bb
Again, oh

All I know
We go mouths open wide and spit in stuff
I will spit until I learn how to speak
Up through the doorway as the sideboards creak
With them ever proclaiming me, me, oh

All I know
We go the way the steps fell down and I don't know
I will shout until they know what I mean
I mean the marriage of a dead dog sing
And a synthetic flying machine, machine, oh
