Capo 4
[G]Light [A]struck from the [D]lemon tree [A]
[C]What if [Bm]I'd never [A]seen hysterical [G]light from Eu- [D]gene? [Em] [D]
[G]Lemon [D]yoghurt, [A]remember I [Bm]pulled at your shirt
[A]I dropped the ashtray on the [G]floor
I just wanted to [D]be near [Em]you [D]
[G]Emerald [A]Park, wonders [D]never cease [A]
[C]The man who [Bm]taught me to [A]swim, he couldn't quite [G]say my first [D]name [Em] [D]
[G]Like a [D]Father he [A]led community [Bm]water on my [A]head
And he called me [G]"Subaru"
And now I want to [D]be near [Em]you [D]
[D]Since [C#m]I was [Bm]old e- [A]nough to [G]speak I've [F#m6]said it with a- [A]larm
[D]Some [C#m]part of [Bm]me was [A]lost in your [G]sleeve
Where you [F#m6]hid your ciga- [A]rettes
No I’ll never for- [G]get
I just want to be [D]near you [Em] [D]
[G]Still I [A]pray to what I [D]cannot see [A]
[C]In the [Bm]sprinkler I [A]mark the evidence [G]known from the [D]start [Em] [D]
[G]From the [D]bed near your [A]death,
and all the ma- [Bm]chines that made a [Am]mess
Far away the falcon [G]flew
Now I want to be [D]near you [Em] [D]
[G]What’s [A]left is only [D]bittersweet [A]
[C]For the [Bm]rest of my [A]life, admitting the [G]best is be- [D]hind me [Em] [D]
[G]Now I’m [D]drunk and a- [A]fraid, wishing the [Bm]world would go a- [A]way
What’s the point of singing [G]songs
If they’ll never even [D]hear you? [Em] [D]
