[Intro 1]
[D][G][Bm][G][Em][D][G]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Thinking
out[D]rageously [G]I w[Bm]rite[G] in cursive
I hide in my bed with the
[Em]lights on the floor
Wearing [D]three layers [G]of
[Bm]coats [G]and leg warmers
I see my own breath on [Em]the face of the door

[Verse 2]
[D]Oh I [G]am [Bm]not quite [G]sleeping
Oh I am [Em]fast in bed
[D]There on the wall in [Bm]the bed[G]room creeping
I see a wasp with her [Em]wings outstretched

[Interlude 1]

[Bm][G][A][D][A][G][Bm][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]North of Sylvanna we [Bm]swim [G]in the [Bm]Palis[G]ades
I come out wearing my [Em]brothers red hat
There [D]on his shoulder [G]my best
friend is bit seven times
He runs washing his [Em]face in his hands

[Verse 4]
[D]Oh how [G]I meant to tease him
Oh how [Em]I meant no harm
[D]Touching his back with
[G]my hand [Bm]I kiss[G] him
I see the wasp on [Em]the length of my [G]arm[D]
[Em][G]

[Interlude 2]
[D][Em][Bm]
[G][A][G][A][Em]

[Verse 5]
[D]Oh great [A]sights [Em]upon [G]this state,
hallelu
[D]Wonders [A]bright, and rivers,
[Em]lake[A], ha[G]llelu[Bm]
[D]Trail of [A]tears and Horseshoe
Lake, hallelu
Trusting [D]thing[G]s b[Bm]ey on[D]d mistake,
hallelu

[Verse 6]
We were [A]in love, we were in love
[Em]Palisades, Palis[A] a[D]des
[G]I can wait I can[A] wait

[Verse 7]
[D]We [A]wer[D]e i[A]n l[Bm]ove,[A][D][A]
we were in [G]love
Palis[A]ades, [G]Palisades

[Verse 8]
I can wait I can wait
[D]We were in lov[A]e, we were in love
[Em]Palisades, [G]Pal[D]is [A]ades[Em]
[G]I can wait I can[D] wait
I can't [A]ex plain

[Verse 9]
the state that I'm in
[D]The state of my hea[G]rt,
he was my best [D]friend
Into the [A]car, from the back [D]seat
Oh admir[G]ation in falling [D]asleep
All of my [A]powers, day [F#m]af ter[A] day[D]
I [Bm]can tell [G]you, we swaggered [D]and swayed
Deep in the [A]tower, the prairies be[D]low
I [Bm]can tell [G]you, the telling get[Bm]s old[D]
Terrible [A]sting and terrible [Bm]storm[D]
I [Bm]can tell [G]you the day we were [D]born
My friend is [A]gone, he ran [D]away
I [G]can tell you, I love him each [D]day
Though we have [A]sparred,
[D]wrestled and raged
I can tell [G]you I love him each [D]day
Terrible [A]sting, [D]terrible storm
I can tell [G]you[D]
