When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers ■
                          C                    Bb    C
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees ■
                          Bb              F         C
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all 'round your feet ■
Bb F                               C                  Bb       F
■  And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulder ■
                                C              Bb    C
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor ■
                          Bb                       F       
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for

F                        C                        Bb   F  
And this is the room one afternoon I knew I could love you
                         C              Bb   C
And from above you how I sank into your soul ■
                             Bb           F     C
Into that secret place where no one dares to go ■
Bb F                                  C             Bb       F
■  And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking ■
                               C                 Bb  C
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die ■
                            Bb            F     
Each one a little more than he could dare to try
