Until I Am Whole


Em           D
Sunset on Snohomish
F                  C
Burn the tree line down
C                  Em
Hold my hopes underwater
C                          D
Stand there and watch them drown


Em                D
Fishing out their bodies
F                 C
From the bathroom sink
C               Em
Leave them in a bucket
C                   D
Until they start to stink


             C    G
I think I'll stay here
             C
Until I feel whole again
             G    D  F  C
I don't know when


G  D  F  C


Em                  D
Trout swim past the fishing lines
F                 C
Sky gets dark and close
C                 Em
Cars start up and make
C             D
Their nightly exodus


Em                 D
On a picnic bench alone
F                C
Watch the sky go dark
C              Em
Dig my nails into my hands
C                D
Hope it leaves a mark


             C    G
I think I'll stay here
             C
Until I feel whole again
             G    D  F  C
I don't know when
