I. A            D  
Your grandpa died  

              F#m  
When you were nine  

          E  
They said he had  

         A  
Lost his mind  

         D  
You have learned  

        F#m  
Way too soon  

           E                    A       
You should never trust the pantaloon  
D  
You are tired  
A  
You are hurt  
F#m  
A moth ate through  
E  
Your favorite shirt  
D                   A  
And all your friends fertilize  
F#m  
The ground you walk  
C#m    D    A  
Lose your mind  
A                     D  
II. I'm never what I like,  
                   F#m                 E  
I'm double sided, and I just can't hide,  
                   A                 D  
I kind of like it when I make you cry,  
                    F#m              E  
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up inside my mind.

  Why won't you let me go?  
Em             G         C  
Do I threaten all your plans?  
        D  
I'm insignificant.  
                  G   C                G  
Please tell them you have no plans for me.

VI. Hello  
                           G/F  
We haven't talked in quite some time  
Em  
I know  
                   C  
I haven't been the best  
   G  
Of sons  
Hello  
I've been traveling in  
    G/F#  
The desert of my mind  
    Em  
And I  
               C  
Haven't found a drop  
G  
I try desperately to run through the sand  
  G/F#  
As I hold the water  
In the palm of my hand  
          Em  
Cause it's all that I have  
And it's all that I need and  
    C  
The waves of the water  
Mean nothing to me  
     G  
But I try my best  
And all that I can to  
G/F#  
Hold tightly onto  
What's left in my hand  
Em  
But no matter how  
How tightly I will strain  
C  
The sand will slow me down  
And the water will drain  
G  
I'm just being dramatic  
In fact,  
               G/F#  
I'm only at it again  
As an addict with a pen  
Who's addicted to the wind  
      Em  
As it blows me back and forth  
Mindless, spineless, and pretend  
    C  
Of course I'll be here again  
See you tomorrow  
                     G  
But it's the end of today  
End of my ways  
     G/F#  
As a walking denial  
My trial was filed as a crazy  
               Em  
Suicidal head case  
But you specialize in dying  
You hear me screaming  
     C  
Father  
And I'm lying here just crying  
                        G  
So wash me with your water
