Typhoon - The lake

a n^Gorthern state in the summer time my u^Dncle’s lake on the fourth of July out^Amside the cabin my sister tried to call ^Emlike the loon with her hands cupped tight up agai^Gnst her mouth as the fireflies became ^Dvisible in the failing summer light a s^Amparkler in my hand i went af^Emter them as they went out in the night i w^Gandered down into a quiet place where the g^Drass grew tall where it met the lake there was a ^Amdifferent bug must have bit my leg though i ^Emnever saw it ^Gback at home i cried in my room my c^Dlosest friend the one that i confided to: i w^Amanted her but she wanted you i was s^Emick in bed i could barely move and then a^Gs my body turned against itself i prayed for ^Ddeath that i’d come back to be anyone else ^Ambe anyone else, ^Embe anyone else as s^Gickness formed within my cells you never l^Doved me like the way you loved anyone else you ^Amdig a hole dig it deep enough the truth ^Emburies itself and buries itself

and ^Gi i disowned ^Dmy own family^Am all for l^Emove all for l^Gove and i was ash^Damed of my sister ^Ambecause she belonged to ^Emme when i wasn’t good en^Gough

i’m^D sorry, i'm^Am sorry you were the only ^Emthing i should have ever ^Gloved i’m^D sorry, i'm^Am sorry you were the only ^Emthing i should have ever ^Gloved (End with ukulele solo)
