In March

E A E A 2x E A E A E We met at the gas station and wandered round all day E Then we went home and E A E A E Sat sad-eyed in the darkness and played GTA A F#m And the people all were simulacrum B Just waiting to be slain E A So I took the Black Hawk helicopter E A E And watched the sun set over San Andreas A If I'd only known B When I was seventeen A E A E Oh what that gesture seems to mean A That the world is full B A F#m E Of shimmering fish, and bulls and honey and rain D Em In marched your father with his golden arm C With his shirt undone D Em And his heart undone he said "son" C And you moved your thumb D Got out of the car and unloaded your gun G(7 Am Oh Tom, you were a lonely one G In the basement room Em D That your dad blew through Bm Oh Tom E A E A 2x E A Your mother brought us Coca-Cola E A E And so we paused the game Coca-Cola E A Your character was in mid-air E A E With an expression close to shame A F#m And then he fell upon a woman who B Appeared to mouth your name E A And you got in the nearest car E A E And lit right out for the equator A If I'd only known B When I was seventeen A E A E Oh what that gesture seems to mean A That the world is full B A F#m E Of shimmering fish, and bulls and honey and rain D Em In marched your father with his golden arm C With his shirt undone D Em And his heart undone he said "son" C And you moved your thumb D Got out of the car and unloaded your gun G(7 Am Oh Tom, you were a lonely one G In the basement room Em D That your dad blew through Bm Oh Tom D Em In March the crocuses were all in bloom C And we got off of the couch D And walked out of your room Em C I said "Tom, you see it's true C D You love the world and the world G She loves you."
