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
