[Verse]
Em                   A
I should have known better
                G
To see what I could see
            Em
My black shroud
                D
Holding down my feelings
                C
A pillar for my enemies
 
 
Em                     A
I should have wrote a letter
                             G
And grieve what I happen to grieve
           Em
My black shroud
                     D
I never trust my feelings
                 C
I waited for the remedy
 
 
Am        C                    D
When I was three, three maybe four
                   C               D
She left us at that video store
G       D          C             D
Be my rest, be my fantasy
G      D            C
Be my rest, be my fantasy
 
 
 
Em                 A
I’m light as a feather
                         G
I’m bright as the Oregon breeze
           Em
My black shroud
                  D
Frightened by my feelings
                   C
I only wanna be a relief
 
 
Em               A
No, I’m not a go-getter
                         G
The demon had a spell on me
           Em
My black shroud
                  D
Captain of my feelings
                        C
The only thing I wanna believe
 
 
Am         C                   D
When I was three, and free to explore
                       C                 D
I saw her face on the back of the door
G      D           C             D
Be my rest, be my fantasy
G      D            C
Be my rest, be my fantasy

C     Em D G D
 
 
    G              C
I should have known better
                D
Nothing can be changed
                      G
The past is still the past
        D
The bridge to nowhere
C                             Em         D
I should have wrote a letter
                  G                D
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling
 
 
 
G          C                      D
Don’t back down, concentrate on seeing
                    G              D
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor’s greeting
C                         Em
My brother had a daughter
        D                    G          D
The beauty that she brings, illumination
 
 
G           C                      D
Don’t back down, there is nothing left
       G                       D
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
C                         Em
I’m a fool in the fetter
            D            G                 D
Rose of Aaron’s beard, where you can reach me
 
 
G           C                     D
Don’t back down: nothing can be changed
    G                      D
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
C                     Em
My brother had a daughter
    D                  G          D
The beauty that she brings, illumination
   Em       D
illumination
