Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
[Intro]
[Verse]
When you wer
e young
You were the k
ing of carrot
flowers
And how you bu
ilt a tower tu
mbling through
the trees
In holy rattle
snakes that fe
ll all around
your feet
[Chorus]
And your mom
would stick a
fork right in
to daddy's sho
ulder
And dad would
throw the garb
age all across
the floor
As we would la
y and learn wh
at each other'
s bodies were
for
[Verse]
And this is
the room
One afternoon
I knew I could
love you
And from above
you how I san
k into your so
ul
Into that secr
et place where
no one dares
to go
[Chorus]
And your mom
would drink u
ntil she was n
o longer speak
ing
And dad would
dream of all t
he different w
ays to die
Each one a lit
tle more than
he could dare
to try
