G A4 Bm
The sirens woke me up again
G A4 Bm
I know they're coming for me someday, just a matter of when
G A4 Bm
Count to 25 and yawn
G A Bm
Touch the clock and turn my back against the dawn
D G
And hope for that one dream
A Bm A
Of hardware stores with checkered floors
D G A
And buckets full of nails
D G
Or floating effortless
A Bm A Em
Over the apartments in a boat
G A
And rowing past the office windows
G A Bm G
Mother, mother, may I cry?
A Bm
Father, will you teach me how to die the right way someday?
G A Bm
I don't want a second chance
D Bm
To turn my stuttering reluctance into romance
D G
With these documents
A Bm A D G A
And kindergarten anthems with my drunken liturgies
D G A Bm A Em
Tune the FM into static and pretend that it's the sea
D A
But four words fumble for the microphone
D
"You should have known"
D A G
"You should have known"
