[Verse 1]
D Em7
April blooming, white jasmine spills over on
Bm7
To the worn out floral pattern couch
G D Em7
Where I have been waiting. Hey, kid, I think our vessel is sinking under the weight
Bm7
Of our dark as black coffee spiked
G D
With cheap whiskey thinking. I stand up at the front of your bed
Em7 Bm7 G
Pull down the sleeves on my beat up black and white wool sweater.
D Em7
I'm squeezing the little red marks on my wrist where
G D
I made some mistakes

[Verse 2]
D Em7
Minds blank and limbs bruised
Bm7 G
Stomachs full of black coffee and plantains
D Em7
In the thick smoky fog of your bedsheets
Bm7 G
We have dug our graves
D Em7
Seattle is just around the corner
Bm7
I feel excited and nervous
G
And a little bit cornered
D Em7
We shave each others' heads to escape the heat
G D
And take to the streets
[Break]
D Em7 Bm7 G (x3)

[Verse 3]
D Em7 Bm7
And we rise in the late morning on New Year‘s Day to our feast of leftovers and
G D
Falling back to sleep in the sun in your front yard.
Em7
I think about how long it's been since
Bm7 G
I've felt so full and safe and warm.
D Em7
And I ride downtown on my bike all the same
Bm7 G
With my headphone in —eyehategod— And no brakes.
D Em7
Days like these got me smiling so hard it hurts my face;
G D
I'm going to wake up tomorrow, whatever it takes
[Break]
