[Intro]
F G Am G C G
[Verse]
F G
The year moves on without you in it
Am G
Now it is fall without you
F G
I had to close the windows and doors without you coming through
Am G
I kept them open for as long as I could
C G
But the baby got cold
F G
I watched the calendar bulldoze
[Instrumental]
F G Am G
C G
This whole past summer was a lingering heat wave
F G
And I remember late August, our open bedroom window
F
Going through your things with the fan blowing
G
And the sound of helicopters and the smell of smoke
C G F
From the forest fire that was growing, billowing just on the edge of town where we used to swim
G Am
They say a natural, cleansing devastation burning the understory, erasing trails
G
There is no end
C
But when I'm kneeling in the heat
G
Throwing out your underwear
F
The devastation is not natural or good
G
You do belong here
F G
I reject nature, I disagree
C
In the hazy light of forest fire smoke
G
I looked across at the refineries
F G
And thought that the world was actually constantly ending
F G
And the smell and roar of the asphalt truck that was idling just out the window, tearing up our street
C G
I missed you, of course
F G
And I remember thinking the last time it rained here you were alive still
F G
And that this same long heat that I was in contained you
C G
And in this same heat I open the window next to you
F
On your last morning
G F G
So you could breathe and then so you could ghost away
C G
And now so the room will hopefully
F Em
Stop whispering
F G
The grind of time I'm not keeping up with
Am G
The leaf on the ground pokes at my slumbering grief
F G C
Walking around, severed, lumbering
Em F G
But slowly sovereignty reasserts itself
Am G
I don't want it though
Am G
And betrayal whines
Am G
Who and how could I
Am/F
Live?
