 A                                                                       C# 
Tossed around like sea glass and you rounded out my edges.

I got a scar across my forehead, turning purple in the cold
                   A 
From a night at Shore Memorial.
               B 
I was 16 and afraid.
                   A                                           B 
Turned away, like I'm working baby face
                           E9           C#A 
Out of Mid-South in the 80's.

I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks,
       B          A

If I could manage not to fuck this up.

 A                                                           C# 
Hidden in the tall grass in the naked light of day,
                               A 
I put my past-self in the ground.
                       B 
I've been dancing on the grave.
                         A 
I'm not the person that I was then,
             C# 
I'm tearing him away.
             A 
I was bitter. I was careless.
             B 
I was 19 and afraid
 E                                       A 
But you deserved more from me.
 E                                                           B 
I don't know why I would say those things.

You left me walking in circles.
                                               A 
You were a shot in the dark.

You're where the light pollution starts.
