i tabbed this in a hurry so all the chords might not line up exactly but oh well, i 
[Verse 1]
GOh sister, don't be afraid of me
I won't be nailing you down in the nursery
CJust like the rest of them did
With those watery, wandering fingers that slipped
That were supposed to be Gglorious and fiCneG  
GOh sister, won't you believe in me
I only wanted to be hard on your family
CHere with you now in the zillionth infirmary
A mother makes frantic and drunk calls from Germany
GAll of the tCimGe
GAnd oh sister
Sweet brown and comely
I will be be milking with you making fun of me
CNow that my moods are not what the used to be
there is but no one alive laying next to me
Gfor such a long tCimGe
GOh sister, sweet brown and beulahry
milk from your blisters on your grandmother's jewelry
Cthere in the parlor all naked in front of me
[Verse 2]
Watching the lights from the cracks making archery Ganimal desCignGs
EmRose Wallace Goldeline just moCves her mouth over anything
GFleshy free and flowering with oraDnges out in the open
EmBut don't you waste your sins again
CShe don't need you
or won't fuck your friends
GAnd you, you're American, so impDortant boiling over
[Verse 3]
EmTo prove that she must still exist
Cshe moves herself about her fist
Gand never ever ever give a shit
Dabout all those words you're wasting again
EmSome pretCty bright and bubbly Gwondrous dream
You'd like to Dkill and claim
And claim her as your own
EmBut don't you worry
CAll those dainty and dirGty emotions just gDo away and fade out on their own
GSister, now that we're grieving
Our fingers will falter
Our lungs will be leaking
CAll over each other and without even speaking
We'll know that it's over and smiling or greeting
GWhatever comes neCxtG  
GAnd oh sister
You're getting married with some angry twister
That you'll have to carry home drCunk every evening from the cemetery
And if he makes it back half alive you can bury him
GUnder your sheCetsG  
GAnd oh sister
now that we're leaving
I can not imagine there is any meaning
Cforgetting you ever could once had the feeling that made you keep on
and pretend you were breathing of Gall of this wCorlGd
In an age of empty rings
DI don't want to feel the thCing
I don't even want to kGnowC  G

[Verse 1]

Oh sister, don't be afraid of me

I won't be nailing you down in the nursery

Just like the rest of them did

With those watery, wandering fingers that slipped

G C G

That were supposed to be glorious and fine

Oh sister, won't you believe in me

I only wanted to be hard on your family

Here with you now in the zillionth infirmary

A mother makes frantic and drunk calls from Germany

G C G

All of the time

And oh sister

Sweet brown and comely

I will be be milking with you making fun of me

Now that my moods are not what the used to be

there is but no one alive laying next to me

G C G

for such a long time

Oh sister, sweet brown and beulahry

milk from your blisters on your grandmother's jewelry

there in the parlor all naked in front of me

[Verse 2]

G C G

Watching the lights from the cracks making archery animal designs

Em C

Rose Wallace Goldeline just moves her mouth over anything

G D

Fleshy free and flowering with oranges out in the open

But don't you waste your sins again

She don't need you

or won't fuck your friends

G D

And you, you're American, so important boiling over

[Verse 3]

To prove that she must still exist

she moves herself about her fist

and never ever ever give a shit

about all those words you're wasting again

Em C G

Some pretty bright and bubbly wondrous dream

You'd like to kill and claim

And claim her as your own

But don't you worry

C G D

All those dainty and dirty emotions just go away and fade out on their own

Sister, now that we're grieving

Our fingers will falter

Our lungs will be leaking

All over each other and without even speaking

We'll know that it's over and smiling or greeting

G C G

Whatever comes next

And oh sister

You're getting married with some angry twister

That you'll have to carry home drunk every evening from the cemetery

And if he makes it back half alive you can bury him

G C G

Under your sheets

And oh sister

now that we're leaving

I can not imagine there is any meaning

forgetting you ever could once had the feeling that made you keep on

G C G

and pretend you were breathing of all of this world

In an age of empty rings

D C

I don't want to feel the thing

G C G

I don't even want to know

and Rose Wallace Goldeline

don't you ever die on me

all the way it goes and flows
