Am                        D
I should have known better
                    C
To see what I could see
         F
My black shroud
                 G
Holding down my feelings
                   F
A pillar for my enemies

Am                          D
I should have wrote a letter
                             C
And grieve what I happen to grieve
          F
My black shroud
                  G
I never trust my feelings
                     F
I waited for the remedy


Dm            F                 G
When I was three, three maybe four
                    F         (Am - G - C) C
She left us at that video store
      G            F            (Am - G - C) C
Be my rest, be my fantasy
      G            F
Be my rest, be my fantasy


Am                        D
I'm light as a feather
                         C
I'm bright as the Oregon breeze
         F
My black shroud
                 G
Frightened by my feelings
                    F
I only want to be a relief

Am                        D
No, I'm not a go-getter
                         C
The demon had a spell on me
         F
My black shroud
               G
Captain of my feelings
                          F
The only thing I want to believe


Dm           F                 G
When I was three, and free to explore
                    F           (Am - G - C) C
I saw her face on the back of the door
      G            F            (Am - G - C) C
Be my rest, be my fantasy
      G            F
Be my rest, be my fantasy



C        F      G    C     G
F        F      G    Am     G


C                       F
I should have known better
                G
Nothing can be changed
                      C
The past is still the past
    G              F
The bridge to nowhere
                       F        G
I should've wrote a letter
                  C          G
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling


C          F
Don't back down, 
                G
concentrate on seeing
                    C
The breakers in the bar
    G                  F
the neighbor's greeting
                       F       G
My brother had a daughter
                  C          G
The beauty that she brings, illumination


C           F
Don't back down, 
                 G
there is nothing left
                    C
The breakers in the bar, 
    G            F
no reason to live 
                       F       G
I'm a fool in the fetter
                  C          G
Rose of Aaron's beard, where you can reach me


C          F
Don't back down
                G
nothing can be changed
           C
Cantilever bridge, 
    G           F
the drunken sailor
                   F      G
My brother had a daughter
                     C        G       F     G                 C  (one)
The beauty that she brings, illumination,     illumination
