The Districts - 6 am

^C It's 6AM, I'm shiv^Amering beneath the bed sheets ^DmThe pillowcase fell off last night when I h^Fmaj7eld it in my arms. I^C read Am Short stories, while you twitched in your sleep beside me, ^Dmyour Fmaj7 Breath it fell so heavy, as I sat there in the dark And ^Dmoh you whispered quiet, making f^Fmaj7riends beneath the Scenery of a ^Csun cracked open sky beneath the d^Emark lids Dm Of your eyes. You were skipping stones and I was still alone When ^Fmaj7I turned off the light, scribbling onto st^Cicky notes I am^G/Em scared and that's the best that I can say ^CI work a job to pay the^Am debt I owe my family, ^Dm to pay back for That one time^Fmaj7 I pushed your chin^C. All this hope I hold just ^Amburies Dm Its evil in me out of sight, but it slips through a hole In my side I've seen a^Fmaj7nother of me and you

^CSo we'll climb in that Buick dow^Amn 222, and I'll Close my eyes^Dm, the sun goes down each time I ^Fmaj7see the light I swear it's true.^C Because I've loved down with this crown watching ^AmOld dogs age without whimpering,^Dm and I find it hard to say that ^Fmaj7I am strong

^CBut I'll be sure with each passing^Am breath to read you Stories that are glimmering^Dm with the light that reflected (let ring) Fmaj7 Off these marigolds that caught my neck when I hit The ground

And^Dm oh you whispered quiet, making ^Fmaj7friends beneath the Scenery of a ^Csun cracked open sky beneath the ^Emdark lids Of your eyes. You were s^Dmkipping stones and I was still alone When I^Fmaj7 turned off the light, scribbling onto ^Csticky notes I am s^Emcared and that's the best that I can say

^CAll we are is all w^Ame are and still I will become, ^Em all I am and all I t^Fmaj7hought I can't recall because (X6)

^DmAnd oh you whispered quiet, making ^Fmaj7friends beneath the Scenery of a ^Csun cracked open sky beneath the ^Emdark lids Of your eyes. You were^C skipping stones and I was still alone When I^Fmaj7 turned off the light, scribbling onto ^Csticky notes I am ^Emscared and that's the best that I can say

^CI'm still tugging on you^Amr hand, like when I was innocent ^Fmaj7We used to only lie when we needed sleep
