E So that?s it? B F# Eternity equates to forever walking towards without arriving any place? A With some beasts leashed F# And the rest so hung up on the majesty of having two functioning feet E Don?t con yourself with comfort B Don?t talk about the future F# In the fur patch shaved and sutured, in the tangle of tubes where I lose you A Everything is changed F# And the rest of us remain E So could we exchange our lifespans? B Or would that be a shitty deal? F# My eight potential decades, sloppy, selfish and unreal G#m F# E For your thirteen years of walking in one clear, pure line G#m Even with all this ridiculous talking F# Even with all this ridiculous talking G#m Even with all this ridiculous talking F# Even with all this ridiculous talking B F# I can never get through and I can?t get any help G#m F# C# I can just stand here in front of you and embarrass myself E B So drag me out of the river in a backwards baptism F# Take it back to the beginning A To make sure there?s no revisions and we are all of one mind F# While we watch this reel rewind E B And I see myself there completely lightweight wasted on like a single drink F# In 2003 in Baltimore, smashing my first flip-phone on some piss-soaked alley floor corridor A Crimes of the heart, crimes of the convenience store F# A whole history of crimes felt more important at that time G#m F# B E I see them all from last to first as they play out in reverse G#m F# B E I get to find everything I ever lost, I get to uncast every curse G#m F# B E See every upturned motorcycle, every page from every bible G#m F# B E All my acid stomach mornings and my nights of deep survival G#m F# B E See those horses in the stables, teenage tears and jumper cables G#m F# B E See me rattled and insane from all the changes strange and mangled G#m F# See that never-ending room filled up with everything consumed B E A pile of everything consumed to fill a never-ending room G#m F# B E Hear every song sung to a dog on every walk with every dog F# B Yeah, every song sung to a dog on every walk with every dog
