DmIf the latter days are ending then I hope I'm endiBbng too
CAnd buried someplace where your breath tastes new to me andBb  
Always blowing, so my bodyDm's bent and bowing
BbDeep into the day's ending in summerC  
BbThe latter days are always panting like Ca second-comer
DmAll the fleshy statues of the city-squarBbe goodbyes
CAre flinging smooth-skin trinities and nakedness up into my eyesBb  
DmNaked swan-necked girls, your arching Bbbacks into the sun
CThe highway ditch's black clouds split the median andDm  
Breathing in of all the ribs of every bathing Bbone
DmAnd in those trash-pit-ponds you bathe and
Oh, how Bbyou all gleam
CMindlessly bright where you're wet in
BbYour eye-lashing, fluid-splashing, rapid-flashing
DmCanal-bleaching dream

Dm Bb

My family does own some land where the river is wide

C Bb

At night I see my memories dimly dying on the other side

Dm Bb

I know that I am now all bitterness and tart

C Dm Bb

Anatomy to me is a homesick stomach and a broken heart

Dm Bb

You rest-stops in the midnight are like friends I've worn to bone

C Bb

I only notice that you're glowing when I'm feeling so ever alone

Dm Bb

Drunken with the children now too many times to complain

C Dm

Trustful was the mouth I turned into a lustful sopping hole and

Now it's nothing but a bathtub drain

Dm Bb

The latter days are harder than I ever could've known

C Dm

Come back to retrieve me sometime soon

Dm Bb

If the latter days are ending then I hope I'm ending too

C Bb

And buried someplace where your breath tastes new to me and

Always blowing, so my body's bent and bowing

Bb C

Deep into the day's ending in summer

Bb C

The latter days are always panting like a second-comer

Dm Bb

All the fleshy statues of the city-square goodbyes

C Bb

Are flinging smooth-skin trinities and nakedness up into my eyes

Dm Bb

Naked swan-necked girls, your arching backs into the sun

C Dm

The highway ditch's black clouds split the median and

Breathing in of all the ribs of every bathing one

And in those trash-pit-ponds you bathe and

Oh, how you all gleam

Mindlessly bright where you're wet in

Your eye-lashing, fluid-splashing, rapid-flashing

Canal-bleaching dream
