Bright Eyes - The calendar hung itself

Does he kiss your^F#m eyelids in the morning when you start to raise your head' And does he^C# sing to you incessantly from the place between your bed and wall' Does he^F#m walk around all day at school with his feet inside your shoes' Looking^C# down every few steps to pretend he walks with you' Does he^F#m know that place below your neck that is your favorite to be touched' And does he^C# cry through broken sentences like "I love you far too much"'

^BmDoes he lay ^Eawake liste^Aning to your ^Dbreath' ^BmWorried that ^Eyou smoke too ^Amany ciga^Drettes' Is he^E coughing now on a^F#m bathroom floor' For every^E speck of tile there are a^F#m thousand more That you won't^E ever see But must^A hold^E inside^D yourself ^Eeternal^F#mly ^{C# F# C#}

I drug your^F#m ghost across the country and we plotted out my death In every^C# city, memories would whisper "Here is where you rest" I was d^F#metermined in Chicago But I dug my teeth into my knees And I^C# settled for a telephone Sang into your machine ^F#m"You are my sunshine, My only ^C#sunshine. ^F#mYou are my sunshine My only ^C#sunshine"

I^F#m kissed a girl with a broken jaw That her father gave to her She had eyes^C# bright enough to burn me They reminded me of yours And in a^F#m story told she was a little girl In a red-rouge, sun-bruised field And there were^C# rows of ripe tomatoes Where a secret was concealed And it^F#m rose like thunder Clapped under our^C# hands And it^F#m stretched for centuries To a diary entry's^C# end where I wrote ^F#m"You make me happy (WHAT') When the skies are ^C#gray ^F#mYou make me happy (WHAT') When skies are ^C#gray and gray and gray"

Well the ^Bmclock's heart it^E hangs inside^A its open^D chest With hands^Bm stretched towards the^E calendar^A hanging i^Dtself But I^E will not weep for those^F#m dying days For all the^E ones who've left there are a^F#m few that stayed And they^E found me here and^A pulled me^E from the^D grass E F#m E F#m E... Where I was laid
