1. Dear darlin' your
mom, my friend,
F Am
left a message on my machine
F
Dm E
she was frantic saying you were talking crazy.
Am
F Am
That you wanted to do away with yourself,
F Am
I guess she thought I'd be a perfect
resort,
F Dm - E
because we've had this inexplicable connection
since our youth.
Am F Am
And yes, they're in shock they are
panicked
F Am
you and your chronic, them and their drama
F Dm E
you, this embarrassment, us in the middle of
this delusion.
Dbm A Dbm A
If we were our bodies, if we were our
futures,
E B7 - F#
if we were our defenses I'd be joining you.
Dbm A
Dbm A
If we were our culture, if we were our leaders,
E B7 - F#
if we were our denials I'd be joining you.

2. I remember vividly
a day years ago we were camping
Am
you knew more than you thought you should
know,
F Dm - E
you said "I don't want ever to be
brainwashed".
Am
F Am
And you were mindboggling you were
intense,
F Am
you were uncomfortable in your own skin,
F Dm E
you were thirsty but mostly you were
beautiful.
Dbm A Dbm

If we were our nametags, if we were our
rejections,
E B7 - F#
if we were our outcomes I'd be joining you.
Dbm A Dbm A
If we were our indignities, if we were our
successes,
E B7 - F#
if we were our emotions I'd be joining you.

3. You
and I we're like 4-year-olds,
F
Am
we want to know why and how come about
everything,
F Dm E
we want to reveal ourselves at will and speak
our minds.
Am F
Am
And never talk small and be intuitive,
F Am F
and question mightily and find God my tortured
beacon,
Dm E
we need to find like-minded companions.
Dbm A Dbm A
if we were our condemnations, if we were
our projections,
E B7 -
F#
if we were our paranoias I'd be joining you.
Dbm A Dbm A
If we were our incomes, if we were our
obsessions,
E B7 - F#
if we were our afflictions I'd be joining you.
Am F
Am F
We need reflection, we need a really good
memory,
Am F
feel free to call me a little more often.
