Now that the treatment and anti-depressants and seven months sober have built me a bed
       F#            C#              F#        C#            F#         C#        Bbm            G#
in the back of your brain, where the memories flicker, and I paw at the synapses, bright bits of string
            F#       C#        F#        C#        F#         C#          Bbm               G#
you should know I am with you. Know I forgive you. Know I am proud of the steps that you’ve made.

Know it will never be easy or simple. Know I will dig in my claws when you stray.

So let us rest here, like we used to, in a line of late-afternoon sun.
       F#            C#            C#        G#          C#
Let it rest— all you can’t change.    Let it rest and be done.
