[Verse 1]
 G      D            C
Freeway signs that i hid behind
 G      D            C
I had no idea what I was missing
 G      D        C
witchitalk your heart out and
       G      D            C
You know that I will listen
 G      D            C
Every year that passes feels like
G      D      C
just a couple days .
         G      D            C
you were passed out on the tracks When I had
        G      D            C
thought i heard the train
           Am                      Em
And, so, I carried you through the thick and thin
         Am
We were thick as thieves,
        Em
we were close as kin .
            Am
coffee and nicotine
      Em
pumps through our veins
                 Am            Em
As you start to cry I try to explain

[Verse 2]
         G      D             C
We were in the trench and our clothes were drenched
        G                 D             C
I could feel the bad news coming to the west coast .
         G     D      C
i’ve got forty ounces asking me:
      G      D        C
“what do you miss the most ?“
  G       D       C
I feel so fucking selfish
          G      D         C
while i'm asking you these things .
            G        D     C
if we could make it out to Oakland we could
G           D      C
drown these rotten dreams
             Am
But I’ve got no excuse
        Em
Nothing to blame for the
Am
horrid Thoughts in this
Em
wretched brain
        Am
Nothing makes no sense
     Em
so I speak my mind:
    Am
“I haven’t moved on yet but
Em
GOD I’m trying

[Chorus]
    C                            D7
And I was just wondering if your sister was alive
      G                 D            Em
What do you think she’d look like in high school?"
               C               D7
When you said “come on in, the waters fine.”
              G       D       Em
I whispered: "I don’t want to hurt you.“
               C                D7
And right now I can’t help but ask you:
        G         D     Em
“do the dead grow older too?
   Am
As much as I loved being ten years old
  Cadd9    D          G
I like to think they do.“

[Verse 3]
           G      D                C
Nothing makes me crushed like that Greyhound bus reading
        G           D    C
reading bright yellow Wichitalk
          G        D          C
I want to go back down To the pitcher’s mound
          G        D         C
where the Midnight oil burned
            G       D              C
You told me to grow up while I was throwing up
       G       D         C
in the Del Mar bathroom stall
             G    D           C
It’s hard to make amends when your best friends
     G         D        C
stop returning all your calls
             Am
And when you placed your hands
   Em
On either side of
   Am
my meagre frame
Em
Where the fleas reside,
         Am
with the panicked Look
      Em
on my pallid face
          Am
I climbed through the thorns and thistles
           Em
I couldn’t see shit, so ungrateful
Am
Thinking to myself:
     Em
"this isn’t happening"

[Chorus]
    C                            D7
And I was just wondering if your sister was alive
      G                 D            Em
What do you think she’d look like in high school?"
               C                D7
When you said “come on in, the waters fine.”
              G       D       Em
I whispered: "I don’t want to hurt you.“
               C                D7
And right now I can’t help but ask you:
        G         D     Em
“do the dead grow older too?
Am
As much as I loved being ten years old
  Cadd9    D          G
I like to think they do.“
