Tom: G
Introdução:
G
a northern state in the summer time
E
my uncle?s lake on the fourth of July
Am
outside the cabin my sister tried
Dm
to call like the loon with her hands cupped tight
G
up against her mouth as the fireflies
E
became visible in the failing summer light
Am Dm
a sparkler in my hand i went after them
as they went out in the night
G
i wandered down into a quiet place
E
where the grass grew tall where it met the lake
Am
there was a different bug must have bit my leg
Dm
though i never saw it
G
back at home i cried in my room
Am
i wanted her but she wanted you
Dm
i was sick in bed i could barely move
G
and then as my body turned against itself
E
i prayed for death that i?d come back to be anyone else
Am Dm
be anyone else, be anyone else
G
as sickness formed within my cells
D
you never loved me like the way you loved anyone else
Am
you dig a hole dig it deep enough
Dm
the truth buries itself and buries itself
G
and i
E
i disowned my
Am
own family
Dm
all for love
G
all for love
E
and i was ashamed
Am
of my sister because
Dm
she belonged to me
G
when i wasn?t good enough
E Am
i?m sorry, i'm sorry
Dm
you were the only thing
G
i should have ever loved
E Am
i?m sorry, i'm sorry
Dm
you were the only thing
G
i should have ever loved
