AWisconsin pines, collaborating with the Eday glow vibes

You put your Arecords on
Exclusively the old EPavement ones
A 90's soul with Doc DMartens on

Degenerate, counter-culture, crying Esocialist
Hip-to-lazed crazed Dabstractionists
We're weird, but Lord knows we're Atrying

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
CI see meaning where you Dmdon't, where you don't
CI see waves of pastel Dmorange and yellow paintings fire
CI see futures that you Dmwon't, that you won't
CI see futures where our Dmnights are lost to condensation
[Chorus]
CNight time in the Fmaj7basement, screaming about our feelings
CRunning through the Fmaj7cold air
Searching for a meaning
CPassed out on the Fmaj7concrete
Dizzy from the spinning
CWake up to the Fmaj7feeling that everybody's leaving
[Verse 2]
CI'm sick of your come downs
Sick of your Dmtruce
Sick of your way
CI'm sick of your tragedy that's Dmliving in our status
CI'm sick of your echoes
Sick of these Dmghosts that haunt our place
CI get the feeling that I'll Dmnever leave this house again
[Chorus]
CNight time in the Fmaj7basement, screaming about our feelings
CRunning through the Fmaj7cold air
Searching for a meaning
CPassed out on the Fmaj7concrete
Dizzy from the spinning
CWake up to the Fmaj7feeling that everybody's leaving

CFailed by deFmaj7sign, slow your Ampace down to Fmaj7mine
Watch my Cback, heave a Fmaj7sigh
Keep it Amsafe, make it Fmaj7right

No Capo

Key: A
===============================================================================
[Verse 1]
I'm Adying and afraid
The colors of this Dsound like a shape
The feast of words you C#mnever could say
And I'm torn aDpart
In the Asun, there is red
The epitaph of an Dold record player
The sweetness in the C#msalt of her hair
And there's no deDcisionD6
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
I knew a gAirl once
There were splinters from her Dmaj7thoughts
Unless you knew a C#mgod
With kindness in her Dmaj7heart
You're a Adark one
With a knack for pushing Dboys off a cliff
And the messy eyes of C#mink-splattered fits
And it's all found in a Dpage
[Chorus]
AI need nothing more than my problems
Just let me know when you've found theDm
AYou've got mirth and I've got snow hands
Eyes fell and haven't come up sinDce
C#mMaryE
Damn, you Dscare me
Oh C#mMaryE D
[Verse 3]
AI know a place out beEyond these pines
Where the sky falls down with the Dcumulus cries
A Awinter song for a EJanuary type
I could tame my heart
I could Dblind my eyes
The Ariver is an organ
And the Emeadow is a church
For a strange inclination
That Dfortune is a curse
I'm a Ecryptic writer
I'm an ignorant fool
I'm a Apoor excuse for poetry
DTrying to play it cool
I'm just Dmtrying to play it cool
[Bridge]
N.C. A
I need nothing more than my problems

Emaj7Mary packed her F#mbags and left home on a Christmas Emaj7Eve
For F#msea soaked skies and dashing lads with Emaj7carsF#m
An Emaj7actress orphaned F#mby the social constructs of her Emaj7art school
A F#mvictim of their esoteric Emaj7rule
So preF#mtentious that she almost thought it Emaj7coolF#m

Emaj7Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Emaj7Pearly, pretty prize, and a ribbon box of sighs
In a F#mcollared shirt
She thought it wouldn't hurt
Emaj7Certain love of mine with the palest blue eyes
In a F#mcollared shirt
I thought it couldn't hurt
Emaj7Wood flavored kiss taste the concrete of this
It really F#mfucked with me, it really fucked with me
Emaj7California eyes are a death witch from design
You really F#mfucked with me
