Peace Tonight Tom: C
C F
Honey pick the red corner shoes
C F
The ones that hardly ever get used
C F
I knelt in front of my whole collection
C F
I'm picking you a special selection
Dm F C On a no news is good news middle of mid-year day Dm F G I feel no ill with time to kill I wanna play
G F Let's make peace tonight G F The moon is bare and shining bright G F C Let's make peace tonight in a good time
Callin' on my good friends today You know the drive's about an hour away We'll be pitching up a tent by the trees We'll be wading in the river to our knees Oh now love's been planted & we're checking out the yield Two black dogs and a white one running in the field
Let's make peace tonight The moon is bare and shining bright Let's make peace tonight in a good time
We used to have some money but we spent it So when we want to have it then we rent it But we're cuttin' up the rug and I know you love me love me And the best of everything here is free Oh when things get messy then we tidy up the room We'll be no stranger to the dustpan and the broom
Let's make peace tonight The moon is bare & shining bright Let's make peace tonight The moon is bare & shining bright Let's make peace tonight in a good time
John Tom: G
G D John knows to prune the crepe myrtles F Em Before it is their season G D Before the weather freezes F Em He blows the pipe lines clean
Em C G D He worked for the fire department Am D Until his injury G D Now he puts out the fires Am D G For the girl from the city
His family's from these parts Before the white men got there Grows field corn on his lot Keeps the road and dead trees cleared
Em C G D He leaves a pile of brushwood Em C G D For me to burn, it burns so pretty
John's work is never done Helping the girl out from the city
Bm C G
His mama goes to the local Baptist church
Bm C G
His daddy's buried there
Bm C D
His daddy did two tours of duty
Em C
As a gunner in the war
F
And was the first
Em
To greet and treat me like a neighbor
John brings the country to me The girl from the city
John knows that he could make a killing Selling rights to fish the trout To rich city men who come in Grilling and swilling So he'd rather do without Still he opens up the gates for me Atlanta groceries in my SUV
Doesn't take to waste or finery But takes the girl in from the city
His mama goes to the local Baptist churc His daddy's buried there His daddy did two tours of duty As a gunner in the war And was the first To greet and treat me like a neighbor
John brings the country to me The girl from the city
And he kindly tolerates The wanderer in me Who wishes she were from Somewhere she would rather be Planting tender shoots Along a rushing stream Welt everybody has a dream The girl from the city
War Rugs Tom: Dm
Dm Am
War rugs in the hallway
Bb F
Prayer rugs on the wall
Gm
Who's walkin' tall?
Bb
I should be kneelin'
[Bridge] Soldier girl, oh, soldier boy Tell me what to say When I see you at Christmas leave Tattooed and hazed
[Chorus]
F Bb
Oh, we're all growin' up together
F
We're all makin' a mark on it
Bb
We're all damnin' the consequences
Bb F
I want to understand
Gm F
The soul you have in there
Young Egypt seized the moment And brought that bastard down You've got technology And you've got archeology We treated you like hunters Until you kicked the goal Now we're claimin' you for our team 'Cause what do we know?
Oh, we're all growin' up together We're all watchin' the video We're all damnin' the consequences I want to understand The soul you have in there
[Instrumental Interlude]
Soldier boy, oh, soldier girl Tell me what to say When I see you at Christmas leave
Oh, we're all growin' up together We're all takin' it pass or fail We're all damnin' the consequences I want to understand The soul it takes to stand For something bigger than Myself...
Driver Education Tom: G
G Am
I fell for girl who tried to commit suicide
D
With soft rock hair, blood shot eyes
G Am
Tastes like Marlboro cigarettes, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
D G
Pepsi in his hand, getting off the school bus
G C Films and drills, safety illustrations D G C D The crushed cars of driver education, driver education
Now its tattooed girls with a past they can't remember Who pledged allegiance to a life of bending the curriculum She tastes like spring, there she goes again Drinking with the older guys, tripping by the lakeside
Films and drills and safety illustrations The crushed cars of driver education, driver education
F#m Bm G D When you were sweet sixteen, I was already mean F#m Bm G D And feeling bad for giving it up to the man just to make the scene F#m Bm G D Where were you, back when I had something to prove? F#m Bm Bb D With the switchblade set and the church kids learning my moves
I ran for miles through the suburbs of the seventies Pollen dust and Pixie sticks, kissing in the deep end Of swimming pools before I knew what's in there We come into this life waterlogged and tender
Films and drills and safety illustrations The crushed cars of driver education Films and drills and safety illustrations The crushed cars of driver education, driver education Driver education, driver education, driver education
Love Of Our Lives Tom: E
E Asus2
I open my hands out to see what I've got
E Asus2 F#m
My days slip like coins into a slot they are gone
Asus2 E Asus2
The shadows lie long
E Asus2
I've been banking on a broken machine
E Asus2
Left unattended like most of my dreams
F#m Asus2 E Asus2
Rusted components of an unmarked song
A B
We've been staring down the brilliant dream
C#m B
The sun burns our eyes
A B E
We've been fighting for the love of our lives
E Asus2 All around us things come apart E Asus2 Broken pieces, broken hearts E Asus2 Fix me, oil me, match me with the next best thing Person to person, nation to nation Heels dug in, no communication F#m Asus2 E Wily time sneaks her weathering
(same chorus)
We've been waiting to be held by binding ties
We've been fighting for the love of our lives
A E
And when it breaks down, I beg you don't go
F#m E
I circle your ship, I'm ready to blow
A B
I try to outflank you with an army of words, I strategize
A B E Asus2
I am fighting for the love of my life
Iron, water, oxygen, scotch and soda or any combination Starts the reaction Is there no mastermind of modern day who can blueprint A plan to make love stay Sturdy and weatherproof, ushering in a new revolution
At the drawing board the hopeful ones still try How can we help it when we're fighting for the love of our lives? Drawing board the hopeful ones still try How can we help it when we're fighting for the love of our lives?
Ozilline Tom: D
D
Oh Ozilline, the moon is almost full
G
And you don't need a torch light
D
To see into these woods
D
Sister, bring the medicine
To keep you from decline,
G
But it's the waxing and the waning
D
That's always on your mind.
C G D Oh Ozilline, I feel for you.
D
As soon as the corn's in,
The deer will come to feed.
G
When the berry ripens,
D
The bird will come to eat.
D
Build by the river,
Its pretty but you'll pay,
G
'Cause the springtime brings the flood plain
D
Or your cutbank washes away.
C G D Oh Ozilline, I feel for you.
I had to put the dog down, Before I hit the road, I watched that sweet old life Become a bag of bones.
When your body's broken And your heart wants to give in, And you hear that hoot owl callin' Just like she was a friend.
Oh Ozilline, I feel for you.
Rise Up Tom: C Intro: C D F Bb C G....(x1)
C
Dog at the window still
D
looks all day never gets her fill
F Bb
Cause a glance means a chance
C G
to break the birds out congregating
C
I have seen a look like that
D
you licked your chops from where you sat
F Bb
Make your kill for a thrill
C G
and you don't mind waiting
Dm F
Rise up your dead,
C G
there's life in the old girl yet
Dm F C G
Rise up your dead
C
When it bums you out,
D
all the hunters sprung to pounce
F Bb
And at best it's a mess
C G
like a nest infested
You remember there's more than this There always was and always is Tend the artist in your charges, you are full invested
chorus
Bb F C
And if you need to, read your mindless mag
G Bb F
Call me up for tickets, we'll go see sugarland
And it gets better even when it's been a drag Just move to the music, move your body to the band and Rise up!
solo part
chorus
Tether Tom: A
A E Bm
Whatever it was, is wasn't manumission
A E
To spill the blood, to pull the weed
E Bm
You can bury the past, but it's a mausoleum
A E
With the ghost of a fist that won't let us be
Bm
Can we bring it together,
A E
Can we call from the mountain to the valley below?
Bm
Can we make it better,
A E
Do we tether the hawk, do we tether the dove?
E Bm
I kicked up the dirt, and I said to my neighbor
A E
"We keep making it worse, we keep getting it wrong"
E Bm
He tucked in his shirt, he stood a little bit straighter,
A E
He said "We need a few less words dear, we need a few more guns."
But will it bring us together, Can we call from the mountain to the valley below? Can we make it better, Do we tether the hawk, do we tether the dove?
Enduring love Why so much and so strong, beyond this short existence? So don't be still You say there's a long line behind you And it's hardly worth the mentioning But I will Cause we may flicker and fade, But we never will be through with this I see this world battered but not broken There's a fallow heart, it's waiting on a sowing hand You can grow what you want, But one day it's gonna rise up So plant what you need to make a better stand And we'll bring it together And we'll call from the mountain to the valley below. And we'll make it better Let go of the hawk, we let go of the dove. I sing to you, all you true believers With the strength to see this and not be still. I'm telling you now, find the hope that feeds you, Don't let 'em bleed you of your will.
What Are You Like Tom: D Intro: D A E B (x2)
D A E B Today my mind is drawing a blank D A E B I canvas you to color this in D A E B There's no gas left in the tank D A E B You've always got your engines running
G A You've got no whip when the beast lays down Em C# And feeds upon the rest has finally found
C# F# G#m
What are you like?
B C#
My open door revolver
F# G#m
What are you like?

My go to problem solver
F# G#m B C# D#m C# B
You shine a light in the darkest corners of my mind
B
What are you like?
C# B D A E B
You're that kind
(chords same as verse 1) I cover mirrors with the clocks (cover mirrors with the clocks) I'm getting superstitious lately (you don't ever brush it off) But you don't ever brush it off (you won't cover me to safety) You won't cover me to safety
G A While I'm sitting on this couch Em C# You're up and figuring it out
What are you like? My open door revolver What are you like? My go to problem solver You shine a light in the darkest corners of my mind What are you like?
D A The Greek chorus of our little play E B You'll explain me when I act this way And as we go along The unwritten song breaks through B C# And it's all about you
What are you like? (You're an open door) What are you like? (You're the best and more) What are you like? (You're a sacred text) What are you like? (You're what's coming next) What are you like? (You're my open door [X3])
Fleet of Hope Tom: G Intro: D G D (x2)
G D G D A7
The fisherman comes up, puts his two poles in the sand
G D G D
He stares out at the sea just exactly like me
A7 G
But I've got a book in my hand
Bm G D A7
We will have caught on to something by the end of the day
G D A D
But mostly we think about the one that got away
I've seen like a bird what pleasures the surface can bring I've lost my best craft going foolishly back to where to the sirens sing I've stared up at the place where the water meets the sky And though I stopped breathing I still believe I should try Maybe a boat in search of lost treasures will pass by
A G
'Cause the fleet of hope is so pretty
D A G
when she's shining in the port
A G
And the harbor clings to the jetty
D A C
for protection and support
G A G A7
Out in the choppy waters the sharks swim and play
G D A D
You're all washed up when Poseidon has his day
I've walked through the desert climbed over mountains so high Through jungles and plains I took buses and trains And airplanes across the sky But none as seductive as ocean before me alone And now I know why you layered your pockets with stones
'Cause the fleet of hope is so pretty when she's shining in the port And the harbor clings to the jetty for protection and support Out in the choppy waters the sharks swim and play You're all washed up when Poseidon has his day
When I was a girl all of my fancy took flight And I had this dream could outshine anything even the darkest night Now I wait like a widow for someone to come back from sea I've always known I was waiting for me
'Cause the fleet of hope is so pretty when she's shining in the port And the harbor clings to the jetty for protection and support Out in the choppy waters the sharks swim and play You're all washed up when Poseidon has his day
Beauty Queen Sister Tom: G Intro: G
G Everybody loves the beauty queen sister G2 But she always got the broken heart G 'Cause she work hard to keep what God gave her G2 But the devil he's just pulling it apart
G
Hang on tight
G2
Hang on tight now
G
Mama's got a friend name Monkeyman
G2
With a two-seater bike
And a tattoo stand
G
He's gonna take me for that ride
G2
He knows I've been losing ground most of my life
Hang on tight Hang on tight now
Daddy prayed so hard That Jesus came down and took him Left me speaking in tongues And hungry for something So I fed the family, I changed out the sparks But every day I gained, another fell apart Hang on tight now
B7
Hey little sister, I dig it okay
C
Looking for the fountain of love
Where the wild heart reigns
G
And the knife draws blood
D
And beauty is redeemed
B7
But Cherry and Dallas won't ever be the same
C
Pony watched Johnny die
nothing gold can stay
G
And those street kids and beauty queens
D Dsus2
They don't stand a chance
So hang on tight... Monkeyman says draw your picture Give it some ink, hear the needle whisper For all the broken hearts and the passing fancies Pull the inside out, when you can Hang on tight Hang on tight now
Share The Moon Tom: E

I can go one day without calling

Is something that I just can't do.
B A E
I wish I could be there, to share the moon

Three County Highway Tom: E Intro: E C#m G#m A B E
E C#m G#m I drive a three county highway A B E and every one of them town's got a firework show. It's 4th of July and I'm just now getting home, on the horizon, I can see 'em all unfold.
A E B E It's been a warm winter and a cold spring, A E B everywhere I've been has felt wrong to me. A E B E Everything I kept, what I never should have thrown away, A E B I wanted you for all those yesterdays.
I was wishing for you one Sunday morning, walking down the road of some debtors' town. From every church a hymn came blending in and every one of them wanting to be found.
Did you say it took a long time to find a lot less man and less harm done? Did you say it took a long time to find a handsome one to keep you young?
One day I'm gonna make it up to you, one day we're gonna laugh instead of cry. One day I'm coming home to stay, it's true, and baby, that's the last ticket I'm ever gonna buy.
It's been a warm winter and a cold spring, everywhere I've been has felt wrong to me. So put your head on my heart and lay down in the crook of my arm. Everything's okay, I've been found again, I've been found again.
True Romantic Tom: C
C
Baby, I got the best intentions,
F E
But I just can't do it
Am
Baby, I got the truest aim
G
But I just can't win
C
Baby, I got a good vibration,
E
But I just can't play it
Am
Baby, I spent my only fortune,
Fm
On the wages of sin
C E
So you, you gotta be extra forgiving
Am F
And you gotta be super strong
C E
You gotta be a true romantic
Am
I want you to look the other way
F
When everything goes wrong
C
Baby if you took all the good stuff
F
And put it all together
E
And you took all the bad stuff
F
And you threw it all away
C
Would I still be the girl
E
That suited your fancy?
Am
Would I still be the boy
F
That rocked your world?
C, E, Am, Fm (Amy yells for a bit)
C
If you get lonely
E
For the trouble and the chaos

If you get bored
F
Since you walked away

Remember what I told you

All The Way Tom: G
G D C G I wasn't looking to shift my direction A7 C My eyes straight ahead hands ten D and two
G D C G
The gravity of our first connection
A7
Veering off the road
C D
and into you
Em D C G All the people drive by slowly gawking at the scene Em7 D C D Of the smoldering inevitable spark and gasoline
Em C All the way I G D met you head on full speed C G D At the heart the blue flame burns
All the way I took the crash course impact
But have I learned all that I'm supposed to learn
No amount of playing safe could save me from this day
The head seeking path of my trajectory
Didn't we cooly divest of predestination
Slamming into futures we can't see
I know what can happen when there's more than meets the eye
But there's no way to avoid it just get in the car and drive
All the way I met you head on full speed
At the heart the blue flame burns
All the way I took crash course impact
But have I learned all that I'm supposed to learn
It makes me laugh, we’re talking over tea
When I can still smell the smoke on my sleeve
Steaming like gun smoke the wreckage of our past
The scene of a crime I still can't leave
Oh you and me, we should let well enough be
But each revisitation points to clues
There's the oil slick of uncertainty
And warning signs back there we didn't use
At least we laugh about it now how we escaped alive
It's remarkable the mess we make and what we can survive

Salty South Tom: G Intro: G D Em Cmaj
G
Mister pull up a chair
D
I got time for tears
Em C
Tell me all the stories that you never did
G
Of the salty south
D Em
The Seminoles held out
C
While Geronimo died in a lonely jail
G A thousand tides, and D A thousand waves Em C Takin' it all away
G
It'll come back in
D
We'll be gone by then
Em C
And it's a miracle we ever learned to live
Drain that land For a better plan Sugarcane and the civil man But now the ringin' dead them pines Planted in that time We gonna keep on killin' till they get it right
A thousand tides, and A thousand waves Takin' it all away
It'll come back in We'll be gone by then, oh And it's a miracle we ever learned to live
I remember the wind As it was settlin' And every sun goin' down was a picture then But we look back at 'em framed They all look the same There's no sense of time, no sense of pain
A thousand tides, and A thousand waves Takin' it all away
And it'll come back in We'll be gone by then, oh And it's a miracle we ever learned to give
Ill Change Tom: Em

Em D/F# csus My calendar lies crumbled laid to waste.
G D/F# It's been scrawled on, thumbed through and changed.
Em D/F# csus Will this be the measure of my days?

Am7 Bm7 c D And when I start to see it making sense for me.
Am7 Bm7 c D That's just hope springing eternally.
[Chorus]
c G Outside the summer's gone for good.

Devotion Tom: G#m Intro: G#m, B, G#m, B, G#m, B, F#, E, E
G#m B F# E I pulled out with the mountain laurel blooming On a turn of road that was soon to be paved Down to the site of my original establishment And the west end family grave
Chorus:
B F# G#m E
Cause one day moves into two, And I'm losing
Everything except for you
And I would sing you a song of devotion
Yeah that's what I should do
Blood runs thick and when it rains it pours down On the family tree or the fields of war I spend my time being broken hearted and grieving bound Yeah, I haven't much need to look forward
I just let one day move into two, I'm losing Everything except for you I would sing you a song of devotion (to Bridge)
Bridge:
G#m B G#m B G#m B F# E
Book of days, The way things lay, That's just space and time
I gave it up, All for a love, That won't be defined
I've had enough temporary acquisition Building fences for no gain Taking dead trees down before the winter freeze, I said Let 'em rot and fall where they may
Just let one day move into two, I'm losing
Everything except for you
I would sing you a song of devotion
That's what I should do (begin outro: chorus chords)
(I gotta let them fall where they may, cause…)
It's the book of days It's the way things lay Now that's just space and time (…one day moves into two I'm losing Everything except for you. I…)
I gave it up All for your love That's what I should do (…I would sing you a song of devotion, yeah, That's what I should do)
B F# G#m E
That's what I should do
B F# (to intro, end G#m)
That's what I should do
I Believe In Love Tom: C
C Am
When we tried to rework all of this
D F
Each to her rendition
C Am
Painted ourselves in a corner
D F
Lost for ideas blindly fishing
G F
For a compliment or kindness
G F
Just to bring us into view
G
But you could not interpret me and I could not interpret you
C Am D F
I remember that cold morning when the trees were black with birds
G Am
I tried to make out some connection
D F
We were at a loss for words
G F
After all that we've been through
G F
I could not see giving up
C Am F G
Despite the picture of our coffee growing colder in the cups
C Am F C
I want to say that underneath it all you are my friend
C Am F G
And the way that I fell for you I'll never fall that way again
G Am F
I still believe despite our differences that what we have's enough
F G
And I believe in you and I believe in love
So we went rolling on down through the years Taking time off we could steal Until the thief of things unreconciled Stuck it's stick into the wheel Now we're tumbling in a freefall No one's gonna go unscathed But it's not because you held back and its not how I behaved
I want to say that underneath it all you are my friend And the way that I fell for you I'll never fall that way again I still believe despite our differences that what we have's enough I believe in you and I believe in love
Dm C G C
There are avenues and supplements and books stacked on the shelf
Dm C G
Labyrinths of recovery in search of our best self
Am F G C
But most of what will happen now is way out of our hands
Dm F G
So just let it go and see where it lands
I want to say that underneath it all you are my friend And the way that I fell for you I'll never fall that way again I still believe despite our differences that what we have's enough I believe in you and I believe in love I believe in you and I believe in love
Dirt And Dead Ends Tom: G
G
You're looking at foreclosure
D
And doing time
C
And it don't sound good this time
G D
They found the meth and the scale,
C
And the wife that made your life Hell
G B Em
All the time you were telling me
C
You were fine
G D C
Silly man
G
So I got your dog.
D
How is that?
C
I made it nice, I wrote a check.
G D
You cut the weeds back on my drive
C
Cause you're a good guy deep down inside.
G D
What makes a boy like you go bad,
C
What makes a man so lonely and sad,
G D
That he'd poison all he knows
C
And in one year, just let it go?
G B Em
And all that time you were telling me
C
You were fine
G D C
Silly man, silly boy
G D
It's been you and me on this frontier
C
Trying not to be suburban pioneers.
G
Fighting off the pavers
D
And the associations
C
And the covenants against the trailers.
G D
I remember how we used to laugh
C
At all those rotten men in "camo" drag
G D
With their advantage and their guns
C
Up the deer stand shooting up a storm
G B
And all the time
Em C
You were telling me all those lies
G D C
Silly man, I'm just a silly girl
G
There was a time
D
We could hibernate like bears
C
But we finally come up for air
G D
And everything's all marked and cleared,
C
Survey flags flying everywhere.
G
Once you said to me
D
You know, what I'll miss the most
C
Is just being the only ones
G D
With our dirt and our dead ends
C
And no one to turn us in.
Deconstruction Tom: A Intro: | A E/A | D/A A | D | Esus4 E |
VERSE:
A A/C# D Bm7 Esus4 E
We talked up all night and still came to no conclusion
A A/C# D Bm7 Esus4 E We started a fight that ended in silent confusion
Bm7 A/C# And as we sat stuck you could hear the trash truck
D Esus4 E Making its way through the neighborhood
Bm7 A/C# Picking up the thrown out different from house to house
D Esus4 E We get to decide what we think is no good
We're sculpted from youth, the chipping away makes me weary And as for the truth it seems like we just pick a theory The one that justifies our daily lives And backs us with quiver and arrows To protect openings cause when the warring begins How quickly the wide open narrows
CHORUS:
A A/C# D E/G# E Asus4 A
Into the smallness of our deconstruction of love
D E We thought it was changing, but it never was
A E/A D/A A D Esus4 E (like intro) It's just the same as it ever was

Rock And Roll Heavens Gate Tom: D
D A G It didn't happen for you No one wants to hear the truth Coming from three political queers Back in the punk rock blues So you break up the band And leave us all in tow And now we got to figure out where to go
G A
D A G
Caught it at a rave (Did it fuel your fascination?)
Saw it on my TV (Did it lighten up your load?)
And every fucking DJ (Did you feel affiliated?)
Was telling me I'm free (Like your really had at all)
Free to be a loser (Your taking crosses too high)
Free to be a trend (Were the lights too bright?)
Free to be a backlash over and over and over again
(Was it all over somehow)
G A
D A G
You say I'm losing inspiration
One band at a time
Cuz I got know that someone
Somewhere out there
Is singing for our side
G A
(instrumental break) Bm A D F G F Bm A G F
Bm A D F G F Bm A G F I come up share the motor and the blues What we built together we shared that too And the wind may come and the rain may fall But we stand together or we don't stand at all A G And I say "where are going you to now?" Now that the door is closed G (Where are you going to now?)
D A G
Its the history of survival
Swimming up the stream
Crossing over one dam after another
Until we get to Rock & Roll Heaven's Gate
G A
(Yeah you)
D A G
Caught it at a rave (Did it fuel your fascination?)
Saw it on my TV (Did it lighten up your load?)
And every fucking DJ (Did you feel affiliated?)
Was telling me I'm free (Like your really had at all)
Free to be a loser (You're taking crosses too high)
Free to be a trend (Were the lights too bright?)
Free to be a backlash over and over
Until I get to Rock & Roll Heaven's Gate
Language Or The Kiss Tom: C
verse 1
C Am
i don’t know if it was real or in a dream
Dm F G lately waking up i’m not sure where i’ve been
C Am there was a table set for six and five were there
Dm F G i stood outside and kept my eyes upon that empty chair
there was steam on the windows from the kitchen laughter like the language i once spoke with ease but i’m made mute by the virtue of decision i choose most of your life goes on without me
chorus
Dm F G oh the fear i’ve known
C Am
that i might reap the praise of strangers
F G
and end up on my own
Dm F
and all i’ve sown was a song
G (Dm)
but maybe i was wrong
verse 2
i said to you the one gift i'd adore
is a package of the next 10 years as they're unfolding
"package of the next 10 years unfolding"
but you told me if i had my way i’d be bored
and i knew enough to bless one of your scoldings
when we last talked we were lying on our backs
"lying on our backs"
looking up at the sky we were looking through the ceiling
"looking at the sky" "looking through the ceiling"
i used to lie like that alone out on the driveway
i was trying to read the greek upon the stars the alphabet of feeling
chorus 2
oh i knew back then it was a calling that said if joy then pain the sound of the voice these years later is still the same
solo
verse 3 accapello
i am alone in a hotel room tonight i squeeze the sky out but there’s not a star appears begin my studies with this paper and this pencil and i’m working through the grammar of my fears
chorus 3 oh mercy me what i won't give "oh mercy save me" to have the things that mean the most not to be the things i'd miss the unforgiving choice still is "unforgiving the language or the kiss yes it is
