Soul Lay Open

Fm Ab There's an above-ground pool Db There in the backyard Threw pennies in the whole time I was growing up Fm Eb Figured, if life really wished me well Db It would turn into a wishing well Eb And all our suffering would go Fm Too old at a damn young age Eb Bedroom like a bird sung cage Db On a new couch with each new Christmas Db Won't somebody do these dishes? Fm Sure as hell I was not the one Eb To come around when it came undone Db Put second on a winter hit list All light just went missing Ab Eb Fm Strong roots but damn these limbs, out on one Ab Cold nights, hard wind Eb Fm Came down in the yard and split Kin and timber Db Eb Fm Soouul lay it open Db Eb Fm Soouul lay it open Fm Eighteen when the madness stopped Eb In love with the runaways' daughters Db Each one with the same damn name Db Took care of them, forgot me Fm Sold gateway to friends who gone Eb Took shrooms in the night, we formed a Db Oath we would never take for granted Db Each other, this future Ab Eb Fm Strong roots but damn these limbs, out on one Cold nights, hard wind Ab Eb Fm Came down in the yard and split Kin and timber Db Eb Fm Soouul lay it open Db Eb Fm Soouul lay it open Db Eb Kin and timber Fm Bold, brave, the middle kid Db Eb Fm Ever since a child I've been soul searching Db Eb Fm Soouul lay it open Db Eb Fm Soouul lay it open Db Eb Fm Soouul lay it open Db Eb Fm Soouul lay it open Ab There's an above-ground pool Db There in the backyard Threw pennies in the whole time I was growing up Fm Ab Figured, if life really wished me well Db It would turn into a wishing well
