Part I
             C  
Last night I drove to Harper's Ferry and I thought about you

there were signs on the road that warned me of stop signs
    D
the speed limit kept decreasing by ten

as we entered a town about halfway there
       G
it was almost raining at the train station
 
we put our hoods on our heads at the train station
         B
we threw rocks into the river

the river underneath the train tracks

             C
And when the train came it was so big and powerful

when it came into the little station
            D
I wanted to put my arms around it

but the conductor looked at me funny
      G 
so we had to say goodbye and leave

the monopoly board still in the backseat
          B
took that nightmare left turn to get out of town

ran into the decreasing speed limits again

C
What should I do? Eat breakfast

What should I do? Eat lunch
D
What should I do? Eat dinner

What should I do? Go to bed
G
Where can I go? Go to the store

Where can I go? Apply for jobs
B
Where can I go? Go to a friend's

Where can I go? Go to bed


C D G B


C
I wrote beach death when I thought you were taken

I wrote beach funeral when I knew you were taken
        D
I wrote beach fags, well it wasn't about you

but it could've been. well no it couldn't have
         G
I spent a week in Ocean City

and came back to find you were gone
          B
I spent a week in Illinois

and came back to find you were still gone

C
I pretended I was drunk when I came out to my friends
        D
I never came out to my friends

We were all on Skype
      G
and I laughed and changed the subject
                           B
she said "what's with this dog motif"
       
I said "do you have something against
C   D 
dogs"

G   B

C
I am almost completely soulless

I am incapable of being human
D
I am incapable of being inhuman

I am living uncontrollably

          G
It should be antidepression

as a friend of mine suggested
             B 
because it's not the sadness that hurts you

it's the brain's reaction against it

C
It's not enough to love the unreal

I am inseparable from the impossible
D
I want gravity to stop for me
                                               G
My soul yearns for a fugitive from the laws of nature

I want a cut scene
         B
I want a cut from your face to my face

I want a cut I want

I don't want to go insane
G                          B
I don't want to have schizophrenia

    C                           D
The ocean washed over your grave
    G                           B
The ocean washed over your grave
