Blackbox

	  		
 E 
You fell in love with the sunshine 
 B 
And you took a walk with a boy 
 A 
And you spent half a year on the verge of tears 
 B 
Just because nothing ever feels like it did before 
 E 
So now I understand if you're bitter 
 B 
Frankly sometimes I do feel the same 
 A                                          B 
It is amazing how in your own hometown the comfort and the pain 
                 A 
Well, they just grow 
                           E 
This is the field where I realized I loved you 
               A 
And they just grow 
                             E                  B                A 
This is the diner where we learned that people die before their time sometimes 
                                                       Am 
The impermanence of it all, don't you let it make you feel too very small 

 E 
We saw new constellations with each observation 
 B 
The night sky grows bigger it seems 
 A 
But under our ceilings is much more revealing 
 B 
You'll find what we found in our dreams 
                   A                      E 
Yes! I dreamt that all my old friends got together again 
     A                                               E 
And potluck is something somewhere that we've never been 
        B 
And we said "Oh and it's so strange 
              A 
The way that people in situations change 
         B 
You got caught up in some crazy current 
                           A 
Now it seems as though we speak a completely different language 
            B                            A      Am 
But you'll always be as beautiful as the moment(3x) that we met" 

                           E 
And so I tried to write a song for my father 
               B 
San Francisco bus rides that take way too long 
                 A 
He said "you're coming back home boy, Don't feel so alone 
      B 
Love yourself and you will do no wrong." 
         A                            Am 
But the interstate and life go on and on, And on and on and on and on 

                E 
And I wrote my dad who likes blackbox recordings 
         B 
Just to hear what people say 
           A 
When they realize what's coming 
         B 
About a second or so away 
              E 
He said, "it starts with 'oh shit' and it ends with 'I'm sorry'" 
       B 
And it plays in his head all the time 
                A 
And I thought, ?oh and it's so crazy 
                 B 
The ways we all sabotage our very own peace of mind?
