Tomorrow when I wake up I'm finding my brother | C G | |
And making him take me back down to the water | Dm G | |
That lake where we sailed and we laughed with our father | C G | |
I will not desert him. I will not desert him | Am |
No matter how I may wish for a coffin so clean | Dm G C F | |
Or these trees to undress all their leaves onto me | ||
I put my face in the dirt and then finally I see | Dm G C Am | |
The sky that has been avoiding me | F G |

I started this letter I'm going to send it to Ruba | C G | |
It will be blessed by her eyes on the gulf coast of Florida | Dm G | |
With her feet in the sand and one hand on her swimsuit | C G | |
She will recite the prayer of my pen | Dm G |
Saying, ..time take us forward. Relief from this longing | C G | |
They can land that plane on my heart I don't care | Dm G | |
Just give me November, the warmth of a whisper | C G | |
in the freezing darkness of my room | Am G |
But no matter what I would do in an attempt to replace | Dm G C F | |
All the pills that I take trying to balance my brain | Dm G C F | |
I have seen the curious girl with that look on her face | Dm G C Am | |
So surprised she stares out from her display case | F G |
