from Blood of Man
Tabbed by Drew Langworthy
Tuned half a step down
FMy mom'd give me tDmwenty and say &qFuot;Stay out tiDmll dawn"
When heFr boyfriend was overDm and they wFanted me gonFe
FI would walk through the Dmwoods to theF old graveyarDmd
AndF roll my own tops Dmand think twFo kinda thoughtFs Dm
Are we Fhigh enough to cDmlear these trees?
I don't knoFw Dm
FThat was the suDmmmer Dave'Fs girlfriend OD'Dmed
She dieFd in the bathroom Dmat a parFty down the streFet
FI went to see him the neDmxt night, he Fhad a new tattoDmo
He was Fwatching home movies of Dmher, his face was Fwet, he looked so confFused
FThey had a funeral for Dmher, the preacheFr said she was with the LDmord
There wereF lots of pictures of herDm taped to a Fposter boarFd Dm
Are we Fhigh enough to clDmear these trees?
I don't knoFw Dm
Are we hiFgh enough to clDmear this place?
I don't knGow
FGrocery stores in the middle of the night shine their oFwn kinda light
FHigh school halls and shopping malls never fFit me right
But my Fheart would swing free like Ga lasso from my hand
When I'dF hear that sound and put the pedal dGown
FI wound up that fDmall in aF hospitalDm
On thFe suicide wingDm with a lot of people tFhinkin' one thiFng Dm
FThey had a sign on the wDmall that said F"No touching atDm all"
There wereF screams in the darkDm, nurses runnFing down the halFl Dm
FOn the night that I Dmgot there, they sFhowered me and searched me hDmard
Then they Ftook me to my little roomDm overlooking aF graveyard F Dm
FWhen I opened my eyeDms I was stFrapped to the beDmd
There was Fa needle in my armDm, parFt of me was goFne Dm
FThen they took us outDmside in our slFippers and gowDmns
To playF basketball on the blacDmktop, the ball just boFunced till it stopFped Dm
Are we Fhigh enough to clDmear these trees?
I don't knoFw Dm
Are we hiFgh enough to clDmear this place?
I don't knGow
FGrocery stores in the middle of the night shine their oFwn kinda light
FHigh school halls and shopping malls never fFit me right
But my Fheart would swing free like Ga lasso from my hand
When I'dF hear that sound and put the pedal dGown
FWhen the leaves werDme wet beFhind the old duDmplex
We used tFo run at nighDmt nakFed through the Ftrees Dm
FAnd you would lean back againsDmt me and I would Ftry to stay soft Dm
We'd liFsten to the engDmines as theF planes took Foff Dm
