[Verse]
 F
  When you were young
              C              Bb       F
You were the king of carrot flowers
                           C                    Bb     C
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
                           Bb                   F
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
 
[Interlude]
 Bb  F  C  Bb
 
[Chorus]
 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
 
[Interlude]
 (F) Bb  F  C  Bb
 F  Bb  F  C Bb
 
[Verse]
 F
  And this is the room 
          C                   Bb        F
One afternoon I knew I could love you
                          C              Bb    C
And from above you how I sank into your soul
                              Bb              F
Into that secret place where no one dares to go
 
[Interlude]
 (F) Bb  F  C  Bb
 
[Chorus]
 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
 
[Outro]
