F
When you were young
C Bb F
You were the king of carrot flowers
C Bb C
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
Bb F
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
F C Bb F
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy' s shoulder
C Bb C
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
Bb F
As we would lay and learn what each other' s bodies were for
F
And this is the room
C Bb F
One afternoon I knew I could love you
C Bb C
And from above you how I sank into your soul
Bb F
Into that secret place where no one dares to go
F C Bb F
And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
C Bb C
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
Bb F
Each one a little more than he could dare to try
