Verse
Cm G
My brother finds comfort in calculators
Cm G
He assigns every number a name
Cm G
He believes that they add up to certainty
Cm G
And he is upset with fractions that remain
Cm G
So I examine the maps with my eyes and at best
Cm G
I can trace with my finger all the way
Cm G
To that town where she went an attempt to forget
Cm G Cm
The cracks and the lines of my face
[Verse 2]
Cm G
So Jetsabel cleaned out the closets for me
Cm G
And she piled the boxes in the hall
Cm G
Tomorrow when she wakes she'll come take them away
Cm G
And they will never haunt me again
Cm G
But it is still hard to sleep with the moon's heavy beams
Cm G
I run barefoot to the backyard
Cm G
Just to freeze in my place by the rod iron gate
Cm G Cm
Too ashamed and afraid to advance
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Cm G
Today I walked through the snow and found a field of headstones
Cm G
They were in rows like the weeks on calendars
Cm G
Where each box is a day that you can ever escape
Cm G Cm
Without pills for your poisonous sleep
Cm G
Now, these memories leak from these faucets that weep
Cm G
Hot tears splash against the shower floor
Cm G
And I stand in the steam as if inside a dream
Cm G
I can see her again by the sink
[Verse 4]
Cm G
From behind the bathroom mirror she pulls a thermometer
Cm G
And placed it underneath my tounge
Cm G
She said, "You are as pale as a sheet, you look awful my sweet
Cm G
Lay down and wait for the sun"
Cm G
So I stayed in that bed, she brought me water and read
Cm G
Each night from a volume out loud
Cm G
She whispered soft poetry, her favorite was Anabel Lee
Cm G
And those words, like these drugs, comforted me
[Verse 5]
Cm G
But the clocks kept waving their hands and she could not understand
Cm G
Why my temperature would never drop
Cm G
And although she promised with tears that she would always be here
Cm G Cm
I heard truth like the sounding sea
Cm G
I said, "My Arienette, oh, how soon you'll forget
Cm G
This house will never be your home
Cm G
And you will leave in the fall when the trees become graves
Cm G Cm
And their color lie dead in the grass"
[Chorus]
G Cb7
Gold and green torture me
Fbm
Like the lies, like the lies, like the lies
D7
I believe too easily
G Cb7
Oh my Jetsabel, look at this hell that I have made
Fbm
If you want maybe drop by sometime
D7
Put some flowers on my grave
G Cb7
So that I will look beautiful in my silent sepulchur
Fbm
Yeah, that's fine, throw those dresses away
D7 G
I don't want anything of hers
[Outro]
Cm G
For the moon never shines
Cm G
And the stars never rise
Cm G
Without bringing me dreams
Cm N.C.
Haunted by the ghosts of those bright eyes
