[Intro]
C  G  Dm  G
C  G  Am  Am  G  G

[Verse 1]
     C                      G
Tomorrow when I wake up I'm finding my brother
        Dm                                  G
And I'm making him take me back down to the water
     C                           G
That lake where we sailed and we laughed with our father
  Am                     Am                  Am  Am
I will not desert him, I will not desert him

[Chorus]
          Dm*       G          C         F
No matter how I may wish for a coffin so clean
         Dm*        G               C           F
Or these trees to undress all their leaves onto me
         Dm*         G             C        Am
I put my face in the dirt and then finally I see
    F                  G       C
The sky that has been avoiding me

[Verse 2]
  C                              G
I started this letter, I'm gonna send it to Ruba
           Dm                                       G
It will be blessed by her eyes on the gulf coast of Florida
         C                        G
With her feet in the sand and one hand on her swimsuit
         Dm                      G
She will recite the prayer of my pen

        C                       G
Saying, time take us forward, relief from this longing
         Dm                    G
They can land that plane on my heart, I don't care
     C                     G
Just give me November, the warmth of a whisper
       Am                Am   G     G
In the freezing darkness of my room

[Chorus]
              Dm*          G          C          F
But no matter what I would do in an attempt to replace
          Dm*          G              C          F
All these pills that I take trying to balance my brain
         Dm*     G              C         Am
Seen the curious girl with that look on her face
      F                          G            C
So surprised she stares out from her display case

[Outro]
C  G  Dm  G
C  G  Dm  G
