Mount Eerie - Tintin in tibet

I sing to^F you I sing to^C you, Geneviève I sing to^Am you You don't^Dm exist I^G sing to you though ^{F Am}

When I ^Faddress you, who am I^Am talking to? ^FStanding in the front yard like an^Am open wound Repeating^Dm "I love you", to ^Gwho? ^{F Am}

I reco^Frded all these ^Gsongs about the^Am echoes in our house now And walked^Dm out the door to play them on a^Gsus stage

But I sing t^Fo you I picture^Am you, when we first met, you were 22 And I drove m^Fy truck onto the ferry to Victoria in the morning Where we^Em met and talked forever in your apartment with evening falling So I ^Ambrought my blankets in and slept on the floor right next to your bed In the^F morning, barely awake, I saw you standing right above me Peeling an^Em orange and looking hungry, "Do you want some?" you asked me And then just^Am avalanched into me with pieces of orange And weight and kissing and^G certainty

I remember^F you a few days later in Tofino Where we'd driven to play ^Ama show you'd set up for us at a surf shop to no one Then we^F slept in the back of my truck and got woken up by the cops And so wen^Emt down to the fishing boat docks to ask whoever for a ride Across the^Am water to Meares Island to just get left there for the day And we^F did, and brought some food to eat and went through the big trees Abandoned and i^Emn love, totally insane, apart from the rest of the world We had^Am finally found each other in the universe ^FLying on the rocks, waiting for the boat to come pick us up I read the one^Em book we had with us aloud With my head on your lap, sinkin^Amg into you, Tintin in Tibet in French And we thought o^Ff devotion and snow and distant longing in the Himalaya^Emn air High and cold, with a bell ringing out ^Am

Then right before you^F died, thirteen years later in our house I remember through your^Am gasping for oxygen, you explained that you were thinking about that^F high, cold air Wrapping the globe,^Em singing above the mountains of the gods

And I do^F picture you there, molecules^Am dancing But I'd^G rather you were in the house watching the un^Gfolding everyday life of this good daughter we made In^Dmstead of being scattered by the^Gsus wind for no reason So I sing to^F you
