Devendra Banhart - Memorial

^AI wish you had been at your ^Bmmemorial ^DSeeing someone proposing on ^Astage I couldn't get through my ^Bmsong for you ^DWhen it came to saying your ^Aname

I can still see the room at the ^Bmhospital ^DPretty, painted tile^A I can still see your skin turning ^Bmpurple ^DMilly of the ^ANile ^E

^F#mCan you hear me? ^EDid you mean it? ^F#mDid you plan it out? ^EOr was it an accident?

^ATime, time, up a^Bmnd down the blue screen ^DIt's dawn and I'm i^Ansane Love's just a word and not ^Bmwhat the word means ^DBut I'll say it just the ^Asame

Talking to an ^Bmentity ^DMade of endless ^Anight I dream in TV d^Bmialogue ^DA world of shadow and l^Aight ^E

^F#mI know it don't work that way ^EBut maybe you'll come back some day ^F#mI know it don't work like that ^EBut maybe you can take it back

^ANow that there's no need to ^Bmsay a word ^DCan I still make ^Aamends? But silence, the only ^Bmkindness I heard ^DForgiveness, the only ^Arevenge

Meeting all of the ^Bmpeople I've heard ^Dof from your ^Apast Reading through all of your ^Bmletters ^DLooking for your ^Alove

^F#mYou told me that love Is when ^Esomeone asks you "Please ^F#mleave me alone" And you ^Ereally do You looked i^F#mnto my eyes 'Til I was your ^Emother and son I tried to ^F#mlook away But saw you in ^Eeveryone

^AI wish you had been at your ^Bmmemorial ^DSeeing someone proposing on ^Astage
