[Verse 1]
My Dmbrother finds comfort in Acalculators
He asDmsigns every number a Aname
He beDmlieves that they add up to Acertainty
And he is upDmset with fractions that reAmain
So I exDmamine the maps with my Aeyes and at best
I can Dmtrace with my finger all the Away
To that Dmtown where she went an atAtempt to forget
The Dmcracks and the Alines of my Dmface
[Verse 2]
So DmJetsabel cleaned out the Aclosets for me
And she Dmpiled the boxes in the Ahall
Tomorrow Dmwhen she wakes she'll come Atake them away
And they Dmwill never haunt me Aagain
But it is Dmstill hard to sleep with the Amoon's heavy beams
I Dmrun barefoot to the backAyard
Just to Dmfreeze in my place by the Arod iron gate
Too aDmshamed and aAfraid to adDmvance

[Verse 3]
Today I Dmwalked through the snow and found a Afield of headstones
They were in Dmrows like the weeks on calenAdars
Where each Dmbox is a day that you can Aever escape
Without Dmpills for your Apoisonous Dmsleep
Now, these Dmmemories leak from these Afaucets that weep
Hot Dmtears splash against the shower Afloor
And I Dmstand in the steam as if Ainside a dream
I can Dmsee her again by the Asink
[Verse 4]
From beDmhind the bathroom mirror she pulls a Athermometer
And Dmplaced it underneath my Atounge
She said, "You are as Dmpale as a sheet, you look Aawful my sweet
Lay Dmdown and wait for the Asun"
So I Dmstayed in that bed, she brought me Awater and read
Each Dmnight from a volume out Aloud
She whispered Dmsoft poetry, her favorite was AAnabel Lee
And those Dmwords, like these drugs, comforted Ame
[Verse 5]
But the clocks kept Dmwaving their hands and she could Anot understand
Why my Dmtemperature would never Adrop
And although she Dmpromised with tears that she would Aalways be here
I heard Dmtruth like the Asounding Dmsea
I said, "My DmArienette, oh, how Asoon you'll forget
This Dmhouse will never be your Ahome
And you will Dmleave in the fall when the Atrees become graves
And their Dmcolor lie Adead in the Dmgrass"
[Chorus]
AGold and green Db7torture me
Like the Gbmlies, like the lies, like the lies
I beE7lieve too easily
Oh my AJetsabel, look at this Db7hell that I have made
If you Gbmwant maybe drop by sometime
Put some E7flowers on my grave
So that I will look Abeautiful in my Db7silent sepulchur
Yeah, that's Gbmfine, throw those dresses away
I don't want E7anything of herAs
[Outro]
DmFor the moon never Ashines
DmAnd the stars never Arise
DmWithout bringing me Adreams
DmHaunted by the ghosts N.C.of those bright eyes
