Verse 1
     F           Em                        F
When I look back, tracing fingertips over plastic bags
Em                  C         Bm                  Em
Thinking, "I wish I could extrapolate some small intention
   Bm                   Em            C         D
Or maybe just get your attention for a minute or two"

Verse 2
F                                 Em
Will I die? Or will I get to that ten-year mark?
        F                      Em
Where I beat the extinction of telomeres?
    Dm                                          E7
And if I do, will you be there with me, Father, Sister, Brother?

Verse 3
F
Charlie, stop smoking
                      G
Caroline, will you be with me?
Will the baby be alright?
       F           G
Will I have one of mine?
      F
Can I handle it even if I do?
               G
It's said that my mind
                                F
Is not fit, or so they said, to carry a child
C                Am
 I guess I'll be fine

Verse 4
             F                                                  Dm
It wasn't my idea, the cocktail of things that twists neurons inside
                      G
But without them, I'd die
                            E7                       F
They say there's irony in the music, it's a tragedy, I
    Dm            G
See nothing Greek in it
                                                                    E7
Give me a mausoleum in Rhode Island with Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, and Dave
                      F
Who hung himself real high
             Dm G                                           G#dim
In the National Park sky, it's a shame and I'm crying right now
   Am                                 E7
To get to you, save you, if I take my life
                              G       D#dim
Find your astral body, put it into my eyes
                        F
Give you two seconds to cry
               G
Take you home, I, I'll give you a blanket
                              G#dim    Am
Your spirit can sit and watch TV by my side
              D G
'Cause, baby, I
                                        E7
Ran through a time when I felt you were doing it

Verse 5
F
I couldn't handle it, I was in Monaco
F
I couldn't hear what they said on the telephone
G
I had to sing for the prince in two hours
G
Sat in the shower
                E7         Dm
Gave myself two seconds to cry
        Dm           G
It's a shame that we die

Verse 6
                                                      C
When I was fifteen, naked, next-door neighbors did a drive-by
                               F           C
Pulled me up by my waist, long hair to the beach side
         F
I wanted to go out like you, swim with the fishes
     C
That he caught on Rhode Island beaches
                     Em   F
But, sometimes, it's just not your time

Verse 7
    G                                                         E
Caroline, what kind of **** was she to say I'd end up in institutions?
    F                              G             C
All I wanted to do was kiss Aaron Greene and sit by
    Am             F                         G
The lake, twisting lime into the drinks that they made
                                       E7           F
Have a babe at sixteen, the town I was born in, and died

Verse 8
      Am        G
Aaron ended up dead and not me
                                      C
What the fuck's wrong in your head to send me away, never to come back?
        G                                      E7           F
Exotic places and people don't take the place of being your child
  Fm                         C
I give myself two seconds to cry

Verse 9
        Am        G
Let it crash over me
Like the waves in the sea
               E7 F
Call me Aphrodite
        G
As they bow down to me

Verse 10
Dm         E            F            G
Sunbather, moon chaser, queen of empathy
                  E7          F
I give myself two seconds to breathe
                              G
And go back to being a serene queen
                             E7 F
I just needed two seconds to be me
