Intro:
F C F C
G C
I cannot think of that song with this music on
F
And I never want to go
C
Back to Arkansas
F
Even if you've gone from there
C
Even if you've gone
F
You handled me like an infant skull
C
And I cradled you like a newborn nightmare
F
and I always long, long to go back there
C G
straight back down the hallway and up the stairs
F C
to that bed
F
I asked the deer, could the hunter she hear
C
come a'creepin, creepin, creepin, creepin
F
I whispered in her ear so sweet and sincere
C
but she was already dead a'sleepin
F
The ground where she lay was red, sour and stained
C F
and I kissed her, kissed her, kissed her before I turned away
C
and I always want to go back there, straight back, down the path to the place
F C G F C
where she lay
F C
We can close our eyes and cry out to the darkness, there is still this light
F
in us
C
There is this fight to be right where we belong
F G F
This ribcage, it is a staircase
C
Climb, climb it to my iris
F
you can live there, you know who I am
G F
You know who I am
C F C F C
I am your apple
F C
So open up the book and read to me your favorite passage
F C
And know that I will be right here and I will listen
G
I hear you
F
And I have heard you
C
For one thousand years
