Intro

A- 555 444 1s3 -after last open note start strumming Dm

Were you surprised that we never spoke?

That in the still of the night, when nothing stirs

I woke and I gathered up some clothes

I never planned on this but it's the way it goes

And now it all seems so familiar

Like pages turned on calendars

We get the same twelve months to fuck things up

Year after year

And I can't believe how down I am

Like the well I'm being lowered in

Now water stops, the bucket drops us farther and farther down

Well, I guess that you never knew me

 Or at least not well enough

 So I fill my gut with that dark red wine

Until my brain shuts off and my eyes go blind

You won't see me there in that thick black air, yeah

I'll finally make something disappear

 Because I've been practicing disappearing

 And i think that I've got it down

But now there is no sun, just a cellar

Nowhere is sky, it's just that black, black dirt

Expanding outwards, just echoes for answers

Not that it matters if it's back or it's forwards

Unhappy lovers with baskets of flowers use them as markers

The place where your bed once stood in a time when it still felt good

 But you'll get that feeling back

 Yeah, you just need some time to think

And to add up the hell, get it straight in your mind

But to calculate loss, that may take some time

 But I'm sure you'll get to feeling better

 Yeah, I just need some time to drink

And so I'll fill my gut with that blood red wine

Until my insides swim and my veins unwind

I'll be lying there in that hot white air

Once that something is gone

It might never reappear
