[Verse 1]
F#5
Does he kiss your eyelids in the morning when you start to raise your head?
C#5
And does he sing to you incessantly from the space between your bed and wall?
F#5
Does he walk around all day at school with his feet inside your shoes?
C#5
Looking down every few steps to pretend he walks with you.
F#5
Does he know that place below your neck that is your favorite to be touched
C#5
And does he cry through broken sentences like I love you far too much?
[Chorus 1]
Bm E7 A D
Does he lay awake listening to your breath?
Bm E7 A D
Worried that you smoke too many cigarettes.
E F#m
Is he coughing now on a bathroom floor?
E F#m
For every speck of tile there are a thousand more
E A* E D E
That you won't ever see but most hold inside yourself eternally.
[instrumental]
F#5 C#5 2x
[Verse 2]
F#5
I drug your ghost across the country and we plotted out my death.
C#5
In every city, memories would whisper: "Here is where you rest."
F#5
I was determined in Chicago but I dug my teeth into my knees
C#5
And I settled for a telephone and sang into your machine.
F#5
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
C#5
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
[Instrumental]
Bm E7 A D (2x) end on E
[Verse 3]
F#5
I kissed a girl with a broken jaw that her father gave to her.
C#5
She had eyes bright enough to burn me. They reminded me of yours.
F#5
In a story told she was a little girl in a red-rouge,
C#5
Sun-bruised field and there were rows of ripe tomatoes where a secret was concealed.
F#5 C#5
And it rose like thunder, clapped under our hands.
F#5 C#5
And it stretched for centuries to a diary entry's end where I wrote,
F#5 C#5
You make me happy When the skies are gray
F#5 C#5
You make me happy when the skies are gray and gray and gray.
[Chorus 2]
Bm E7 A D
Well the clock's heart it hangs inside its open chest with its hands
Bm E7 A D E F#m
Stretched towards the calendar hanging itself but I will not weep for those dying days.
E F#m
For all the ones who have left there are a few that stayed.
E A* E D E F#5 C#5
And they found me here and pulled me from the grass where I was laid.
[Outro]
F#5 C#5 (4x)
