Tuned half a step down
G Em G Em
My mom'd give me twenty and say "Stay out till dawn"
C Am C G
When her boyfriend was over and they wanted me gone
G Em G Em
I would walk through the woods to the old graveyard
C Am C G Em
And roll my own tops and think two kinda thoughts
C Em
Are we high enough to clear these trees?
G Em
I don't know
G Em G Em
That was the summer Dave's girlfriend OD'ed
C Am C G
She died in the bathroom at a party down the street
G Em G Em
I went to see him the next night, he had a new tattoo
C Am C G
He was watching home movies of her, his face was wet, he looked so confused
G Em G Em
They had a funeral for her, the preacher said she was with the Lord
C Am C G Em
There were lots of pictures of her taped to a poster board
C Em
Are we high enough to clear these trees?
G Em
I don't know

Are we high enough to clear this place?

I don't know

Grocery stores in the middle of the night shine their own kinda light
C G
High school halls and shopping malls never fit me right
C D
But my heart would swing free like a lasso from my hand
C D
When I'd hear that sound and put the pedal down
G Em G Em
I wound up that fall in a hospital
C Am C G Em

On the suicide wing with a lot of people thinkin' one thing
G Em G Em
They had a sign on the wall that said "No touching at all"
C Am C G Em
There were screams in the dark, nurses running down the hall
G Em G Em
On the night that I got there, they showered me and searched me hard
C Am C G Em
Then they took me to my little room overlooking a graveyard
G Em G Em
When I opened my eyes I was strapped to the bed
C Am C G Em
There was a needle in my arm, part of me was gone
G Em G Em
Then they took us outside in our slippers and gowns
C Am C G Em
To play basketball on the blacktop, the ball just bounced till it stopped
C Em
Are we high enough to clear these trees?
G Em
I don't know

But my heart would swing free like a lasso from my hand

When I'd hear that sound and put the pedal down
G Em G Em
When the leaves were wet behind the old duplex
C Am C G Em
We used to run at night naked through the trees
G Em G Em
And you would lean back against me and I would try to stay soft
C Am C G Em
We'd listen to the engines as the planes took off
