Verse 1: (0:31)
C
I saw a modest dream
G
the kind that can’t speak up
Fsus9
and lost before it’s let out
G
in the north we hold our tongues
Chorus 1: (0:46)
Am G
but down here I believe
C Am
when you pull your hair back it’s so easy to see
Am G
this has not been thought through
C Am
there are things that we’ve done that we cannot undo
Fsus9 Am (Am)
there are things I can’t hear when we’re telling the truth

Verses 2 & 3: (1:23)
C
at a table out in bethel
G
when I was thirteen
Fsus9
the criminals were saying
G
liked how I was silent
C
the cold was the container
G
for the sparseness of our speech
Fsus9
the expression in our hands
G
was all that we’d need
Chorus 2: (1:53)
Am G
but down here I believe
C Am
that I made a big deal with a girl that can’t bleed
Am G
now I see red and black
C Am
and evening that kills I want to take it back
C Am
an evening that kills and I can’t take it back

I’m going home back to New Hampshire
I’m so determined
I’m so determined
to lay in lakes and see my sisters
I will hit my brother and hold my Mother

Verse 4: (3:33)
C
this probably won’t work out
G
we might not live forever
Fsus9
while there’s nothing to confess
G
please pay attention
Chorus 3: (3:47)
Am G
and I know that it’s brief
C Am
there’s not nearly enough in one night to have seen
Am G
what you had in your hand
C Am
was much more than the gold that I let go to grab
Fsus9 Am
so much more than the gold that I let go to grab
