Tom: Em
G Em D C G
[Verse]
D Em D
Liquid shadows poured out of your body
C
Under Christmas lights in June
G Em D C G
The only thing I ever tried to tell you was the truth
G Bm Em D
So ignore the disclaimer and don't be a stranger
D C G
To the land of the condemned
G Bm
It's Fourth of July
Bm Em D
Fireworks cross the sky
D C G
Looks like the star of Bethlehem
[Verse]
C
With a cross to bare
C D
And a bridge to cross
D Em B7 G
In the heavy air making it difficult to sing
C D
Clamoring for that healing tough
D Em B
But your limping spirit made a crutch
G
Out of the pendulum
G D
Now it's beginning to swing
[Verse]
G D Em D C G
Your ability to recollect is held in high esteem
G Em D C G
But you keep confusing love with archeology
G Bm Em D
Sometimes you feel hopeless and helpless
D C G
Like there's nothing you can do
G Bm Em D
Watching fireflies put out their inner lights
D C G
By drowning in the pool
[Verse]
C
It's a southern town tunnel dream
D Em
Head down nuclear family
Em B7 G
That's fraying at the seams
C
Your turpentine fragility
D
Was hanging on a balance beam
Em B7 G
The match was lit as you sat upon that
G D
Childhood set of swings
[Outro]
G B C G
Melted crayons and lip-synced grins
Em C
Man, now I understand that we'll never understand
G B C G
Melted crayons and lip-synced grins
Em C D
Man, now I understand that we'll never understand each other
C G
Oh brother
