[Verse 1]
DmRaining in FKyoto
It's flooding theBb streets
I'm nursing a Gmcoffee from a vending Dmmachine
I saw the god of Frice, a fox with a key Bb
DmI woke up blind with a Fheadache
Grinding my Bbteeth
Confused and Gmalone and taking pills to Dmsleep
They soften your Fabsence but they don't let me Bbdream, dream
Gm Bb Gm Bb F Em
[Verse 2]
DmRaining in FKyoto
My breath turns into Bbsteam
I'll buy you a Gcandle, not even sure what it Dmmeans
I'm cursed to the Fmatches
I'm drowning my Bbgrief
DmAn old man stood close Fby, smiled at Bbme
I rang the bell like he Gdid
I told you I'm Dmsorry
A makeshift Ffuneral, I tried to set you Bbfree F Em
[Chorus 1]
FYou're half aslCeep
And I bought you a Dmradio to drown out the macBbhines F Em
FHospital Clight, you asked about the Dmweather wish, that they'd let you outBbside F Em
Dm F Bb G
[Verse 3]
DmRaining in FKyoto
I'm starting to Bbshake
They'll hold a service Gtomorrow
I'm an ocean Dmaway
Reach into my Fpocket, found a small paper Bbcrane
DmIt's been over a Fyear now
April turns into BbMay
I barely stopped Gmoving, I've been so fucking Dmafraid
Too much of a Fcoward to even visit your Bbgrave F Em
[Chorus 2]
FYou're half aCwake
And I bought you a Dmradio to play the blues Bbaway F Em
FWith my hand to Chold, you asked about the Dmweather, wish they'd let you die at Bbhome

[Verse 1]
DBright blue hydrangeas
GLost in the weeds D
Bus stops and barbed wire on the way to sGtare
At the heart of the earth from the PoasEm peak
Just like the ones that we grew back in JGersey Em
Hung upside down, drying out for the Gwedding
[Verse 2]
DThere's a man with his head in his hands on the Gsidewalk
DHis wife's there behind him just off of the Gstreet
DShe scratches his back as he sobs on the aGsphalt D
And what strikes me most is the sGymmetry
How they're framed just like Emyou and me
When the light from the hospital's eGastern wing
Tangles Emup in your hair and the sadness it pooled in my hGeart
Starts emptying sloGwly
[Chorus]
WellD I C#msaw yBmou last niAght in my dGream
And there were hDydraC#mngeasBm whereA your face shouldG be
[Verse 3]
DThe redwoods feel lonely and lunar and Gdistant D
The sun comes in fragments through breaks in the tGrees D
And I feel further from home than I've ever Gbeen
These thin lines of light across space tether you tGo me
They pull in my mEmemories, back to our apartment on 2Gnd Street
Through tEmhe South-facing window the light catches lengths of your Ghair
Like a path that you left me
[Chorus]
Well DI sC#maw yoBmu last nAight in my dGream
But there were aDzalC#meas wheBmre your fAace should Gbe
[Bridge]
Pieces of uD/F#s in the morningEm sun
Sleeping bags under theG 101
She takeD/F#s off his gEmlasses and she falls asleep again
They don't got much but gGoddamn they got love

[Verse 1]
I've been thinking a Glot about
GWhen the furnace goes
It's the absence of Bmheat that hurts more than the Acold
And I got caught in the Girony of walking alone
Down an enBmtire block that's just funeral Ahomes and the ground below
[Chorus]
DSad and sober Sunday afternoon
GSad and Dsober Sunday afternoon Bbm
You disappear in Bmfragments and Aphases of the moon
GSad and Dsober Sunday afternoon Bbm
You disappear in Bmfragments and Aphases of the moon

[Verse 2]
I watched parts of Gyou dissolve
Turn to ash and then get carried Bmup
I watched your memory Afade
Shadows burned into the Gwall
And no, I felt my lungs turn into atom Bmbombs
Choke on the Florida Aheat until the oxygen's gone
[Chorus]
GSad and Dsober, Sunday afternoon Bbm
You disappear in Bmfragments and Aphases of the moon
GSad and Dsober, Sunday afternoon Bbm
You disappear in Bmfragments and Aphases of the moon Em Bm
Or an empty Groom D F#m
Or the twelve-bar Emblues Bm
Or a light in GJune D F#m
[Bridge]
You were a Embandit, and I was a Bmcar wreck
You were the Gdecades on my feet
I was Dunder purple F#mblankets
You were a Embandit, and I was a Bmcar wreck
You were the Grifle on the wall
And it was Dalways gonna F#mend
You were a Embandit, and I was a Bmcar wreck
You were the Gfalse rain that falls
From a Dwindow AC F#munit
You were a Embandit, and I was a Bmcar wreck
You were the Grifle on the wall
N.C.And it was always going to end like this
