Verse 
Gb 
  When you were young 
             Db              B       Gb 
You were the king of carrot flowers 
                          Db                    B     Db 
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees 
                          B                   Gb 
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet 
  
Interlude 
B  Gb  Db  B 
  
Gb                                       Db            B        Gb 
  And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder 
                                     Db              B      Db 
And your dad would throw the garbage all across the floor 
                               B                       Gb 
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for 
  
Interlude 
B  Gb  Db  B 
  
Gb 
  And this is the room  
         Db                   B        Gb 
One afternoon I knew I could love you 
                         Db              B    Db 
And from above you how I sank into your soul 
                             B              Gb 
Into that secret place where no one dares to go 
  
Interlude 
B  Gb  Db  B 
  
Gb                                      Db          B        Gb 
  And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking 
                               Db                 B   Db 
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die 
                            B               Gb 
Each one a little more than he could dare to try
