Does he kiss your eyelids in the morning
when you start to raise your head?
And does he sing to you incessantly
from the place between your bed and wall?
Does he walk around all day at school
with his feet inside your shoes?
Looking down every few steps
to pretend he walks with you?
Does he know that place below your neck
that is your favorite to be touched?
And does he cry through broken sentences
like "I love you far too much"?
Bm E A D
Does he lay awake listening to your breath?
Worried that you smoke too many cigarettes?
E F#mIs he coughing now on a bathroom floor?
E F#mFor every speck of tile there are a thousand more
That you won't ever see
A E D E F#m C# F# C#But must hold inside yourself eternally
F#m
I drug your ghost across the country
and we plotted out my death
C#In every city, memories would whisper
"Here is where you rest"
F#mI was determined in Chicago
But I dug my teeth into my knees
C#And I settled for a telephone
Sang into your machine
F#m"You are my sunshine,
C#My only sunshine.
You are my sunshine
C#My only sunshine"
Bm E A D

I kissed a girl with a broken jaw
That her father gave to her
C#She had eyes bright enough to burn me
They reminded me of yours
F#mAnd in a story told she was a little girl
In a red-rouge, sun-bruised field
C#And there were rows of ripe tomatoes
Where a secret was concealed
F#mAnd it rose like thunder
C#Clapped under our hands
And it stretched for centuries
C#To a diary entry's end where I wrote
F#m"You make me happy (WHAT?)
When the skies are gray
F#mYou make me happy (WHAT?)
C#When skies are gray and gray and gray"
Bm E A D
Well the clock's heart it hangs inside its open chest
With hands stretched towards the calendar hanging itself
E F#mBut I will not weep for those dying days
E F#mFor all the ones who've left there are a few that stayed
And they found me here and pulled me from the grass
E F#m E F#m EWhere I was laid
