Christmas, Twin Falls, Idaho is her oldest memory
Dmaj7(V) Dmaj7/A[/ch] C#m
She was only two
Dmaj7(V) Dmaj7/A[/ch] Dm(V)
It was the first time she felt blue

Cafeteria, Harrison Elementary
Beneath a parachute
I saw her without shoes
7UP I touched her thumb and she knew it was me
Although she couldn’t see
Unless of course she peeked

My mom’s good she got me out of Twin Falls, Idaho
Before I got too old
You know how that goes
That’s where she still was the summer she turned 17
In 1983, three weeks after me
Last I heard was she had twins or maybe it was three
Although I’ve never seen
But that don’t bother me

This is used as the intro, and also as an interlude several times during the song. I’m
sure as to the accuracy of the 3rd riff, so please correct me if I’m wrong.

I can’t explain anything to anyone
A E D xxxx
Don’t believe that nothing isn’t true
And you know you’re not the one who gets to decide
What is right and what is right for you

And I wake up everyday just the same
A E D xxxx
Somewhere between stars and sand
And I was made from material that could never last
An obsolescence that no one would have planned

And I know there’s something deep inside
A E D xxxx
No one’s gotta see it to make it real
And I don’t expect anyone to read my mind
But when you don’t I’m disappointed every time
And if somehow you make it through you’re gonna find
I just want you to know how I feel

And our choices fade into the emptiness
Right before we start to fade ourselves
And now it seems like the only thing on my mind
Is getting all these things off my chest before I die
And going back to where the earth is soft to try to find
Somewhere we can bury all our mistakes
