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
