Okkervil River - The next four months

^GMaybe we could ^Dbreak your ankle, ^Emclean and unsus^Cpiciously. ^GAn ER trip, a ^Ddoctor’s slip, and ^Emyou could share your ^Cpills ^Gwith ^Amme. ^CWon’t it feel s^Go good, though, when we??^D?re lyi^Gng, ^Cside by side, ^Gcan’t move, and I’m n^Dot trying?

^Em2000 ^Gmilligrams ^Ceach. ^GA hotel by the ^Dpharmacy with ^Emdrinking straws in ^Ctoothpaste tubes. ^GStash them with your ^Dtoiletries and ^EmI will share my ^Cpills ^Gwith ^Amyou. ^CLittle Michael ^Gsleeping in the ^Dchild safety ^Gseat, ^Clying with the ^Gwindows rolled up, ^Din the August heat.

^Em3000 ^Gmilligrams ^Ceach, ^Em4000 ^Gmilligrams.^C

^GWe’re driving down th^De interstate, you’r^Eme feeling great, yo^Cu scratch your wrist, and ^Gwe pretend your ^Dkids, your husband, ^Emall you left does ^Cnot ^Gex^Amist. ^CAnd in some ^Gmotel that night we’r^De ^Glying, ^CI can barely ^Gwhisper “it’s l^Dike dying.

^EmBaby, do you ^Gknow what I ^Cmean? ^EmWell baby, did ^Gyou hear ^Cme? ^EmWell baby, ^Gyou fell a^Csleep.”

^GI know I’m weak, ^DI won't deny we??^Em?ll see our tr^Cial sometime soon. But ^Gwhen i know we’re^D fucked, I’ll halve th^Eme pile and share m^Cy pill^Gs wit^Amh you. ^CCause we’ve fel^Gt fully in our bodies, ^Amand we’ve felt tot^Fally alive, ^Cso we’re prepared t^Go float above this ^Amdirty bed where ^Fwe ^Cboth ^Dmlie. Where we ^Flie, ^Clie, ^Dmlie. Will we ^Fbe ^Cfine? ^FNot ^Emthis ^Ctime.
