[Verse]
Em                   A
I should have known better
                G
To see what I could see
            Em
My black shroud
                D
Holding down my feelings
                Cadd9
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
                 Cadd9
I waited for the remedy


Am        Cadd9                D
When I was three, three maybe four
                   Cadd9         C D
She left us at that video store
G       D          Cadd9       C D
Be my rest, be my fantasy
G      D            Cadd9      
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
                   Cadd9
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
                        Cadd9
The only thing I wanna believe


Am         Cadd9               D
When I was three, and free to explore
                       Cadd9           C D
I saw her face on the back of the door
G      D           Cadd9       C D
Be my rest, be my fantasy
G      D            Cadd9     
Be my rest, be my fantasy

    G              C
I should have known better
                D
Nothing can be changed
                      G
The past is still the past
        D
The bridge to nowhere
Cmaj7                         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
Cmaj7                     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
Cmaj7                     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
Cmaj7                 Em
My brother had a daughter
    D                  G          D              
The beauty that she brings, illumination
   Em       D
illumination
