Asking The Aspens

Ab  Gm  Cm  Abmaj7


[Verse 1]
  Gm                      Cm
There were times in the middle when I held you
              Ab
Between my thoughts
               Gm                              Cm
Like when you burned all your paintings in the backyard
               Abmaj7
Couldn't be stopped
             Gm                  Cm
Or how your hammered up a ladder to summit the roof
    Abmaj7
And Dean held the nails
            Gm7                        Cm
There were times in the middle when I loved you
           Fm
Heavy and soft


[Pre-Chorus]
         Ab                Fm
We were way too stoned to stand
                       Eb
But we made it to the top
              Ab               Fm
And you were holding 'both my hands
                  Eb    Bb
And tryna pull me up  mmm


[Chorus]
             Fm             Ab
'Cause I was ten then I was fifteen
            Eb            Bb
Then I was yesterday afternoon
           Fm               Ab
And I was hangin' from the feeling
      Eb               Bb
That someday you would bloom
      Ab               Fm                  Eb
Just asking the aspens to grow a boy like you
       Ab                Cm                  Eb
I keep asking the aspens to grow a boy like you


[Verse 2]
           Gm                         Cm
There were times in the middle when I held you
                  Ab
And it felt like snow
                 Gm                   Cm
Yeah  you're the only kind of weather so weightless
       Abmaj7                  Ab
I can't feel when I've let you go
     Gm                 Cm
And there you aren't in any of it
       Abmaj7
Hangin' sideways like a tree
        Gm              Cm
In the hillside of last summer
       Fm                 Abm
In the hillside of a memory


[Pre-Chorus]
        Ab               Fm
We were way to stoned to stand
                      Eb
But we made it to the top
        Ab               Fm
And you holding both my hands
                  Eb    Bb
And tryna pull me up  mmm


[Chorus]
              Fm            Ab
'Cause I was ten then I was fifteen
            Eb            Bb
Then I was yesterday afternoon (-noon)
           Fm               Ab
And I was hangin' from the feeling (The feeling)
      Eb               Bb
That someday you would bloom
      Ab               Fm                 Eb
Just asking the aspens to grow a boy like you
        Ab               Cm                  Eb
I keep asking the aspens to grow a boy like you
