F G Am G C G [Verse]
F G The year moves on without you in it
Am G Now it is fall without you
F I had to close the windows and
G doors without you coming through
Am I kept them open for as long as I
G could
C G But the baby got cold
F G I watched the calendar bulldoze [Instrumental]
F G Am G
C This whole past summer was a
G lingering heat wave
F And I remember late August, our
G open bedroom window Going through your things with the
F fan blowing
G And the sound of helicopters and the smell of smoke
C From the forest fire that was
G growing, billowing just on the edge
F of town where we used to swim

G They say a natural, cleansing
Am devastation burning the understory, erasing trails
G There is no end
C But when I'm kneeling in the heat
G Throwing out your underwear
F The devastation is not natural or good
G You do belong here
F G I reject nature, I disagree
C In the hazy light of forest fire smoke
G I looked across at the refineries
F And thought that the world was
G actually constantly ending And the smell and roar of the
F asphalt truck that was idling just
G out the window, tearing up our street
C G I missed you, of course
F And I remember thinking the last
G time it rained here you were alive still
F And that this same long heat that I
G was in contained you
C And in this same heat I open the
G window next to you
F On your last morning
G So you could breathe and then so
F G you could ghost away
C And now so the room will hopefully
G
F Em Stop whispering
F G The grind of time I'm not keeping up with
Am The leaf on the ground pokes at my
G slumbering grief
F G Walking around, severed,
C lumbering
Em F G But slowly sovereignty reasserts itself
Am G I don't want it though
Am G And betrayal whines
Am G Who and how could I
Am/F Live?
