Cm - Eb - AbM - Abm
Don't know why I don't know how
She was on the carpet next to the couch
I talk to her cause I could see she's scared
But I don't know how you got in there
Bb - Ab
Man I don't know why birds be
Falling from the sky
Gm - Bb
But I understand it to mean
Ab - Abdim - Cm
Sometimes the world's a little
Like a Picasso painting
Dandelion (I'm calling her)
And I go outside and sit in the dirt
It was quick some words were said
She's pretty even when she's dead
Dig a hole with a busted-handle hoe
And bury the burden and lay some stones
Gm - Bb - Ab - Abdim - Cm
To put a bird down in the dirt instead
Of feeling the thrill of flying again
Ab - Abdim ||: Cm - B - Eb :||
Instead of feeling the trill of flying again
Eb - Cm - Ab - Bb
I still don't know how you got in there
I'll pour a little earth down over some air
Gm - Bb - Gm - Bb
The words are stuck inside my head
She's pretty even when she's dead
Eb - Cm - Ab - B
I still don't know how you got in there
I'll pour a little earth down over some air
Gm - Bb - Gm - Bb
The flies are eating out her eyes
But dandelion's still flying
||: Cm - B - Eb :||
Dandelion's still flying

Hey Mike Lemonbomb
Can't you carry on
Cause you're too gone
I wear a shirt the same color as my mouth
Pinned down to sleep on your butterfly pillow
When he's alone at least he's by himself
And he got sick from kissing you
I heard there's a net up over your head
To keep you safely inside your bed and body
I suspect nobody else wanders
And I take the time to consider you
Into the deep blue
We all strain our eyes
We lied on our backs
And saw angels
A pair of angels up over your head
They may've been mosquitos no I ain't sure
And I suspect nobody else wonders
If you cared and your wandered
I know you know
I take the time to consider you
Hey Mike Lemonbomb
Can't you carry on
Cause you're too gone
Hey Mike Lemonbomb
Can't you carry on
Cause you're too far gone

Morning Blue

F#m - A
Karson crazy mixing gin with watermelon
She stand naked doing dishes wedding ring
In the kitchen on the sink
A - E7 - F#m - D - F#m - E
Sitting beside her
Might as well be a spider
Love please don't touch me
I'd love you to be right
Here in this room
To paint the morning blue
Blue in the dark of the night
I leave the door open wide
To let the night inside
I'd love to have you here right
Here in this room
To paint the morning blue blue
In the late dark of the night
I leave the door open wide
To let the night inside
I'd love to have you right here
In this room to paint the morning blue
A - G#m - B - C#m7 - D - E
But you said you'd throw it away
Put it in the ocean your letter didn't say
You said you'd throw it all away for me
Put it in the ocean your letter didn't say
It'll all be explained someday

Bag Of Never
05:15
|
|||
|
I'm sick I'm drunk
And all I got
Is this t-shirt
That smells like you
It ain't right
What I do
I sit around
And think of you
3 a.m.
Awake again
Nothing to do
But think of you
I want to bleed your stones
With sticks and bones,
Lick your tooth,
And choke on you
I doubt you'll understand
So I'll whisper it again
Drop that handful of dirt
Pick up this bag of never
I doubt you'll understand
So I'll whisper it again
This love is bent and broke
This'll never work

Sun Maiden

|
G - D/F# - Em - C
My sunflowers need staking
Cause I forgot them in the car
Tie my smiling daisy
To some sticks I found in the yard
But the phone's been buzzing
The dripping drone of days
And she changed her mind
And that's alright
I'll be just fine
Bm - Esus2 - G - D
G - D/F# - C - D
But if I were a dog
I'd walk and walk and walk
Just to be let back in
And be most happy about anything
And everything
She somehow resembles
The sun maiden
Apple bright
Cigarette red
Sun-dried raisins
If you please
Leave it on the porch
I'll leave the door unlocked
If you want to come inside
Still sitting on an apple and an orange
Like I'm not even there
Things ain't all that different
Even though I did cut my hair
Let's go have a picnic somewhere and see
I'll talk to you
If you'll speak with me

See Ya Maria
04:26

G - Em - Am7 - D7
I remember you sniffing glue
In a mink coat just staring at the boats
With an empty candy sack in your hand
I wouldn't expect you to understand
G - Em - C - G/B - Am
C - D - G
So I'll see ya Maria
I still think about you sometimes
Like whenever we're drinking water
With whiskey and wine
Was it coincidence or providence?
You next to me just rolling down the street
Like a pocketful of ectasy
The colors never tasted so sweet
Do you remember that december
Was the winter without rain
We waited it out
On sugar and champagne
I went to the sea but could not find she
So I buried myself down by the beach
And I was all alone so I threw some stones
Then I dug her up on her cell phone said
"Now that you're all gone and lost,"
My tongue was stuck but fingers crossed
Still I said "I'm sunshine fine"
But baby you could tell
From my haircut I ain't doing well
G - Em - C - D
G - D/F# - Em - D
C - G/B - Am - C - D
Without you
I've given up on lips
Now I'm using cheap chapstick
And baby can't you tell
From my lip balm
I'm not doing well
Without you
From my lip balm
I'm not doing well
I've taken time and lots of space
Still I can't bring myself to say
That I'll see ya Maria
I still think about you sometimes
Well actually I think about you all the time
You know I think about you all the time

Waiting For A Shovel
02:26
|
|||
|
The nights were nice
I mean alright
In a bad mood with she
Singing water running
She make it all seem somehow plain
The thought of it all
It's outside in the snow in the moon
And it's on the sidewalk
I'd dig you out but I don't have a car
I dig you deeply but I don't know
I said something
Stupid about her brown eyes
I'm just unkind
But I'm still alright
Let's meet in the trees to talk about this
To change the pace
Cause I'm crazy sick of passing daisies that could derail a train
I'd dig you out but I don't have a car
I dig you deeply but I dont know
I'd take you home but I don't have a shovel
I dig you deeply but I don't know

This Time Of Night
04:26
|
|||
|
While you were in the bathroom room
I said a tiny prayer
That you'd come back to my room
And say you were gonna stay
Half blink your eyes
And stay yourself inside
Please don't go
No I don't want to sleep alone
Try these on for size
You shouldn't leave
This time of night
It is up to you
To decide but you know
There's witches outside
It certainly is a delicate
Time of the evening
We drunk all the wine
And all I got is you
There's still the secrets
I've always wanted
To spend over you
Please don't go
No I don't want to sleep alone
Try me on for size
You shouldn't leave
This time of night
And it is up to you
To decide but you know
There's witches outside

F - Am - Bb - BbMaj7 - C7
I feel the need to leave this place
F or the same reasons dogs run away
Do you ever feel the same?
That either on this road or when I get back home
Gonna find this thing I'm searching for
Bb - Gm - F
I feel it all falling down
I feel it all falling down
Or float away no I can't tell if
I feel it all falling down down
Dreampt a bullet through my heart's so sore
Sadder than an airport full of goodbies
But now I realize
That either on this road or when I get home
I'm gonna fill this hole and heal my broken down busted soul
Feel it all falling down
I feel it all falling down down
Or float away no I can't tell if
I feel it all falling down
EbMaj7 - Dm
But look at all those crows
They are the breeze
They are circling
I see birds falling from the sky
No I don't know why
They are my darkest dreams
If I have to understand what this means
In order to be free I may never be
I feel it all falling down
I feel it all falling down down
Or float away no I can't tell if
I feel it all falling down down

Drive
04:43
|
|||
|
I want to drive
I don't want to
Fly this time
Down on La Amorita
Parked under the highway roar
Passing kisses with a bottle of tequila
Down so low they roll so slowly
In madrona yellow under an umbrella
Electric leaves drop like sneezes
And on my mind on my way down Pine
How will I say goodbye?
I want to drive
I don't want to
Fly this time
But I'm still young and I'm not done getting drunk
I see you see me all too clearly
Are the dogs across the street
Hungry are they smelling me?
I'm afraid I'm paranoid
Somewhere up there up sixteen stairs
She's crashed out from the tube on the couch
I think I might drive home now but I can't decide
Where'm I gonna sleep tonight
If I can't drive?
I want to drive
I don't want to
Fly this time
Next time I'm walking in another direction
I want to drive
I don't want to
Fly this time

Call This Sleep
05:56

|
Emaj7 - AMaj7
I put one last kiss on her cold head
And it's still her though her body's dead
Please don't try to comfort me
Because I could never call this sleep
Annie do you know where your sister's gone?
Do you know why you're sleeping all alone?
I break down when these thoughts arrive
This terrible sadness is still stuck inside
Gm - A - B - B
So please take this weight off of me
Please take all this sadness away
I been out in the freezing cold
Praying and crying and digging a hole
I wrapped a blanket around my girl
And then covered her up with frozen dirt
No I don't know where it is she'll go
Maybe to heaven but not in this hole
I know with time this all will pass
But I'm so sick of kissing her photographs
So please take this weight off of me
It's overwhelming
Please take all this sadness away
And bring back yesterday

Pocketful
03:19
|

|
Fly as a kite
Carry the sky around in your pocket
And you might but you haven't decided
I'll trade you to be me for tonight
Cause something isn't right
You're pretty on paper
I never would have
Thought you up myself
The paint on mud
Is an original touch
But God's been practicing sunsets on me
And all those angels just turn out to be
Bumblebees in white there's something
Buzzing in the breezes tonight
I know you cause I could see right through
The white outfit with empty pockets
You're too young for your soul
And your pockets are all full of holes
So I ain't sharing these pocketfuls

The Stars Are All Out
04:11
|

|
"The stars are all out
Of electricity,"
Said the power company.
"We're dead," we said,
"Dang they don't hang
The stars or the moon
Like they used to."
From the moon to you
Nothing quite
As beautiful as you
She gave him
A heart left it
Rather in a place kept
Between his face and pillowcase
As it turned out
It wasn't meant to be
It just happened
To happen this way
It just happened
To happen that way
From the moon to you
Nothing quite
As beautiful as you
Underneath the moon
Dee daa doo
It's just a pretty view
And I'm saving this seat
For the girl
With chocolate on her cheek
Maybe I ain't the one to say
But baby your stars are all dark today
Something very powerful someone wise
The mosquitos up in heavenly skies
Or the angels that live in your eyes
Took a moment from their busy week
To take the time to put a kiss on your cheek
With love so strong it left a mark
Which like the stars tonight are all dark
I just want to sit
And maybe one kiss
I just want to sit next to you

B - C#m
After all the butterflies are sleeping
And angel insects move across the room
The breath of wings is broken
Electric engines haul away the time
Pull on night
There's things I understand
I think you're growing sad
But I'll send along some stars
That grow out in the backyard
They shine out stars your eyes
So bright you never saw a satellite
This is the night
And look what it do
Man it'sa coming through
Through it's coming through
E - G#m - A - C#m - B
And she dreamed she was a flower
And woke up in the kitchen
In a vase
So she put petals in the mailbox
Pressed between the leaves
Of her page
So send along some new york flowers
While it's still september
Autumn bloom
Orange autumn's whiskey stale
And slightly falling
Out of tune
Give it time to reallign
Pull on night
Lay down night

Umbrella

I thought I was going blind
There’s just nothing here to see
No use hanging around
Cause i’m just gonna leave
The sky is falling and thundering
I am soaked and wondering
Where is my umbrella when I need you?
It’s times like these and pretty please
Don’t leave because i’m jaded
I’ll just get more faded being all alone
I would like to be
With you underneath
Your umbrella let me tell ya
Cause it’s pouring over me
If I were more demanding
I’d be with you standing
By your side, rain or shine
Everyday until the ending
I sit, I sat in the sun
Until the day was overdone
Sun up and snuck all away
Guess he didn’t have much to say
When I can’t find
A single word to say sometimes
When I can't find
A single bird to sing
No I can't find
A single tree to climb
This ain’t no place for me
Baby I don’t want to be here like this
Hanging on a string
I might just snip the thing
Hopefully see you soon
Been too long this empty room
Sometimes I don’t believe
I have the strength in me
Or the heart to go on
It seems everyone else does
No one missing me
No one kissing me
Just a worn down wet and lonely fellow
Only looking for my umbrella
