Remember

Em                       D                    C
The only question now is "How long can it take?"
         Em         Am
It's all hanging on you
                               D       G       Em
Just make your move before you have no move to make
                              D                 C
There's no future, there's no lighthouse on the lake
            Em            Am
You're just rambling through
                       D        G     Em
Endless corridors; €”a mouse lost in a maze
                            D            C
You gotta calm yourself and try to concentrate
        Em            Am
What survives in the fire?
                           D         Am      C
What small fragment after all else disintegrates?
C
The only question now's "How long 'til it breaks?"

G                   Am
I come home and the door is hanging open
    Em                          C
The smoke alarm is howling, the bathroom mirror is broken
        G                      Am                           Em C
Find you standing in the backyard pouring gas on the bonfire
G                Am
Ass-naked in the middle of December
    Em                              C
The shame you don't recall with the clothes you don't remember in flames
G                  Am                          Em                     C
Tearing pages of notebooks €”in the embers, your makeshift funeral pyre

G                   Am
I toss and turn all night then it comes to me
Em                                 C
It's you that can't shake out the shards in your memory
G                         Am                    Em
So you've engaged in this scorched-earth policy
                C
'Til there's nothing, there's nothing

G                  Am
Later on, claiming wolves replaced your family
    Em                                   C
You raised your hand against me with the newspaper you can't read
         G                      Am                           Em       C
Then you wrapped yourself in an op-ed on the construct of history
G                   Am
The mark of time is elaborately long
       Em                       C
It's a Spirograph drawn with no breaks—just goes on and on
G                      Am                          Em     C
And here we are on the cutting room floor, slicing fugues
Where they don't belong

G                   Am
I toss and turn all night, but there's no relief
Em                C
I went into your room, you were sound asleep
G                 Am                             Em   C
So I stayed for awhile watching you grind your teeth
G                            Am
And when you wake, there's a moment as you rise
Em                     C
You feel it all coming back and you realize
Am                        G                              D
You tried to amputate the parts that made you scared to die
           Bm
Now it'll kill you if you let it
C

G              Am                   D
As I watch the light fade from your eyes
C
G              Am                   D

C
Bm              Am                   D
As I watch the light fade from your eyes

C                           Bm
You're a black hole bending light beams backwards
Am                     D
Center caving, self-collapsing inwards
C                            Bm
Against the infinite and you have no stature
Am                       D
Shrinking infinitely out of the picture
C                            Bm
You pull the lever trying to break the pattern
Am                    D             C G Am Em C G Am Em
See the crocus in the dead of Winter
