[Verse 1]
Does he kF#5iss your eyelids in the morning when you start to raise your head?
And does he C#5sing to you incessantly from the space between your bed and wall?
Does he F#5walk around all day at school with his feet inside your shoes?
Looking C#5down every few steps to pretend he walks with you.
Does he F#5know that place below your neck that is your favorite to be touched
And does he C#5cry through broken sentences like I love you far too much?
[Chorus 1]
BmDoes he lay awE7ake listeninAg to your brDeath?
BmWorried that E7you smoke too Amany cigareDttes.
EIs he coughing now on a F#mbathroom floor?
EFor every speck of tile there are a F#mthousand more
That yEou won't ever see but most hA*old iEnside yDourself eEternally.

F#5 C#5 2x
[Verse 2]
I drug your gF#5host across the country and we plotted out my death.
In every ciC#5ty, memories would whisper: "Here is where you rest."
I was deteF#5rmined in Chicago but I dug my teeth into my knees
And I sC#5ettled for a telephone and sang into your machine.
F#5You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
C#5You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
[Instrumental]
Bm E7 A D (2x) end on E
[Verse 3]
I kF#5issed a girl with a broken jaw that her father gave to her.
She had eyeC#5s bright enough to burn me. They reminded me of yours.
In a sF#5tory told she was a little girl in a red-rouge,
Sun-bruised field and there were C#5rows of ripe tomatoes where a secret was concealed.
And it rF#5ose like thunder, clapped under our C#5hands.
And it sF#5tretched for centuries to a diary entry's C#5end where I wrote,
F#5You make me happy When the skies areC#5 gray
F#5You make me happy when the skies are C#5gray and gray and gray.
[Chorus 2]
Well the clBmock's heart it hE7angs inside Aits open cDhest with its hands
SBmtretched towards the caE7lendar hanAging itDself but IE will not weep for those dF#mying days.
For all the oEnes who have left there are a fF#mew that stayed.
And they fouEnd me here and puA*lled me frEom the grDass wheEre I was laiF#5d. C#5
