When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers

F                          C                   Bb

and how you built a tower tumbling through the trees

C                         Bb               F         Bb  F  C  Bb

In holy rattlesnakes that fell all 'round your feet

F                                     C             Bb

and your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder

F                               C               Bb

and dad would throw the garbage all across the floor C                               Bb                 (F       Bb  F  C  Bb repeat x2) as we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for

F                              C                  Bb

and this is the room one afternoon I knew I could love you

F                        C              Bb

and from above you how I sank into your soul

C                            Bb      F           Bb  F  C  Bb

into that secret place where no one dares to go

F                                 C             Bb

and your mom would drink till she was no longer speaking

F                              C                 Bb

and dad would dream of all the different ways to die C                          Bb               (F    Bb  F  C  Bb    repeat x4) each on a little more than he could dare to try
