Tom: Dm
Am F G Am Fmaj7
[Verse 1]
Am
I'm just like my mother, she sighed,
Fmaj7
Only she hides it better
G
I see colors in words
Em Fmaj7
I'll draw pictures for ya
[Verse 2]
Am
Come hear me speak about my longings
F
All my goodness, all my cruelty
G
When was the last time I cried?
Em Fmaj7
Truth be told I can't remember
[Verse 3]
Am
There was once a man who loved me
F
He was older; he left a scar
G
And a book about an angel
Am Em Fmaj7
Who made her way back home to God
[Verse 4]
Am
I still think about him sometimes,
F Fmaj7
Running my finger up it's spine
G A
May he fall into a well
Em Fmaj7
He left me old before my time.
[Chorus]
Am
So I'm writing this here song
Out on a sick bag just for you
G Am
In the hopes that in the process
Fmaj7 Am
I might conjure up a few scenarios
Filled with old ghosts who
Wander and dress in your clothes
Come over here you fucked up muse,
Read me Sassoon
Fmaj7 F Am
Out of your head on altar wine
[Post-Chorus]
Am G Am Fmaj7
Am F Am
Out of your head on altar wine
Am Gm Am
[Verse 5]
Am
She paused for air, she bit her lip
F
Picked the candle, struck the match
G
The smoke, the flame, the glow
F Fmaj7
The Persian curtains start to dance
Am
Fix your eyes upon this mirror
F
Let me grab my spirit level
G
Swear you'll keep me safe forever
C F
Tell the truth and shame the devil
[Chorus]
Am
So I'm writing this here song
Out on a sick bag just for you
In the hopes that in the process
F
I might conjure up a few scenarios
Am
Filled with old ghosts who
Wander and dress in old clothes,
Come over here you fucked up muse,
Read me Sassoon
F Am
Out of your head on altar wine
[Post-Chorus]
F Am
Out of your head on altar wine
F Am
Out of your head on altar wine
[Outro]
Am F Am
Out of your head on alter wine
