                    G C
key: CC               ]
I was born in 1974
      F                 C
on a calm meticulous street
                  G
someplace in the sun
                  F
oh the air was sweet
     C               G
and enough lights sprang sparks
                            C
through the window of the room
        F                   C
not as raw to a ridiculous tune
                 G                 F   C
slightly out of key in the mother hour
F              C
So leave me alone
     F             G
I'm busy breaking bones
C             G  C
I was born in 1974
        F                C
in a breached feet-first way
                    G
my twin opened the door
                          F
my very first dose of chivalry
C                G                  C
I was dawned princess potential potent
            F                   C
with gold star and matching impression
                  G
big between two doors
                              F          C
small and loved and proud and unthreatened
F              C
So leave me alone
     F             G
I'm busy breaking bones
C
I bet you were strong
G                          C
when you should have been weak
        F                  C
like a dam that wanted to break
                    G
I wish I were the stones
                        F
your river learned to roam
               C
in whispering gaze
C                   G                     C
You were told in a kind North Carolinian way
          F                     C
to slow down, back up, or be hated
                  G
thank god you did not
                   F
and thank god you did
                 C
an angel either way
F             C
So leave us alone
        F          G
We're busy being grown
C        G  F    C
November 5, 8:17 PM
G              F
Scorpio and a gem
C     G   F     C

Gemini and a lullaby
