Every Song Sung To A Dog Teclado

	  


E   
So that’s it? 
B                       F#   
Eternity equates to forever walking towards without arriving any place? 
      A 
With some beasts leashed 
                                 F# 
And the rest so hung up on the majesty of having two functioning feet 
     E 
Don’t con yourself with comfort 
        B 
Don’t talk about the future 
            F# 
In the fur patch shaved and sutured, in the tangle of tubes where I lose you 
        A 
Everything is changed 
        F# 
And the rest of us remain 
   E 
So could we exchange our lifespans? 
    B 
Or would that be a shitty deal? 
   F# 
My eight potential decades, sloppy, selfish and unreal 
          G#m               F#                         E 
For your thirteen years of walking in one clear, pure line 
G#m 
Even with all this ridiculous talking  
F# 
Even with all this ridiculous talking  
G#m 
Even with all this ridiculous talking  
F# 
Even with all this ridiculous talking  
B                              F# 
I can never get through and I can’t get any help 
            G#m                              F#            C# 
I can just stand here in front of you and embarrass myself 
    E                              B 
So drag me out of the river in a backwards baptism 
          F# 
Take it back to the beginning 
                                                  A 
To make sure there’s no revisions and we are all of one mind 
            F# 
While we watch this reel rewind 
                        E                                         B 
And I see myself there completely lightweight wasted on like a single drink 
                   F# 
In 2003 in Baltimore, smashing my first flip-phone on some piss-soaked alley floor corridor 
A 
Crimes of the heart, crimes of the convenience store 
F# 
A whole history of crimes felt more important at that time 
G#m                               F#                         B      E 
I see them all from last to first as they play out in reverse 
              G#m                         F#                       B      E 
I get to find everything I ever lost, I get to uncast every curse 
             G#m                        F#                 B        E 
See every upturned motorcycle, every page from every bible 
          G#m                           F#                 B        E 
All my acid stomach mornings and my nights of deep survival 
            G#m                           F#                    B       E 
See those horses in the stables, teenage tears and jumper cables 
           G#m                           F#                       B       E 
See me rattled and insane from all the changes strange and mangled 
            G#m                            F# 
See that never-ending room filled up with everything consumed 
              B                            E 
A pile of everything consumed to fill a never-ending room 
            G#m           F#             B              E 
Hear every song sung to a dog on every walk with every dog 
F#                                                          B 
Yeah, every song sung to a dog on every walk with every dog
