Here, take my career

Give her your health

Let me have the love you share

Em   G          A               C
I've been alone for a long time

(C)              Em                  G
Picked the faint praise of strangers

(G)  Am                  C
Over one who truly cares

Em                      A         C
He keeps the faith in a dark room

(C)                    Em         G
Fingers twitching like moth wings

(G)    Am
Hoping to matter

Em
But he can't see how he matters to you

G                       A
You can't drink wine or coffee

C                       Em   G
And you're stuck with a body

(G)  Am                            C
That fights each small request you make




Em                     D    E          Am
I got that brown grass dogs come pee on

(Am)          C           D
Your grass so bright it's neon

E
Green and tie-dye and grows a mile high

Am       Bm          Am
(Why Why Why Why Why Why Why)

C        Am              G
We'll be betrayed by the seeds that we sow

A                             A♭             C
Tiny blades grow and stab the earth from below

E                 D                   Am
Your dying dreams bleeding out in the snow

Em           G
You with the crumbling hips

A                      Am          C                 Em
She sees strangers eat oranges and clenches her fists

(Em)     G
In these miles of highway

Am                          E              Am      Em
You're the prettiest pileup that I've ever glimpsed

(Em)        G
I’m lost in the awful withdrawals

A                        C                G
Grass seems much greener beyond these old walls

(Em)   G
But my worries so small

A                                  C
When I walk through those hospital halls




Em    G       Am     C
Here, take my career

(C)      Em          G
Give her your health

C                              G
