The Wonder Years


Tom: C#m

C#m                      E
I saw you hiding in the ivy
F#m                            A
I know you're too afraid to call
C#m                                    E
They're getting ready for the winter here
  F#m                           A
They've gathered pyramids of salt
 C#m                            E
You saw them having trouble breathing
F#m                               A
I know you think that it's your fault
C#m                      E
I saw you hiding in the ivy
 F#m                       A
Keeping quiet through the fall

C#m E F#m A x2


[Verse 2]
 C#m                             E
There's a bird inside your rib cage
F#m                      A
He screams so I never forget
C#m                         E
I wanna break open your sternum
F#m                       A
I wanna rip him from his nest
 C#m                          E
And sow you back up like a garden
 F#m                         A
Growing flowers from your chest
  C#m                           E
There's a bird inside your rib cage
F#m                 A
I keep trying to forget

 C#m

[Chorus]
          A           E                 C#m              B
I drew a line in the sand with these worthless fucking hands
          A           E                   C#m      B
I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again


[Verse 3]
C#m                      E
I saw you hiding in the ivy
  F#m                        A
Watched the night start to decay
 C#m                      E
And you wonder in the morning who's gonna drag
 F#m                 A
The sun out of the lake
 C#m                           E
You move gently off the sore spots
 D                      A
I can see that you're in pain
 C#m                                E
Everything left in the light here long enough
F#m                A
Is someday gonna fade

C#m

[Chorus]
           A           E                 C#m             B
I drew a line in the sand with these worthless fucking hands
           A           E                  C#m       B
I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again
           A           E                 C#m            B
I drew a line in the sand with these goddamn worthless hands
           A           E                 C#m        B
I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again

E

[Bridge]
 E
We're so vacant
 A
These bodies
 E
Collapsing
 A
So gracefully
 E
And I love you
 A
And I'm sorry
 E
And I understand if you blame me
 A
And I'm helpless
 E
And you're drowning
 A                                    C#m     B
And I'm beating at the water here so desperately
C#m
So desperately

 N.C.

[Chorus]
           A           E                 C#m             B
I drew a line in the sand with these worthless fucking hands
           A           E                  C#m       B
I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again
           A           E                 C#m            B
I drew a line in the sand with these goddamn worthless hands
           A           E                 C#m        B
I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again
   B                  C#m
Don't wash me away again
