[Intro]
F G Am G C G

[Verse]
F                           G
The year moves on without you in it
Am                 G
Now it is fall without you
F                                                       G
I had to close the windows and doors without you coming through
  Am                                               G
I kept them open for as long as I could
  C                            G
But the baby got cold
                 F                     G
I watched the calendar bulldoze

[Instrumental]
F G Am G

         C                                                       G
This whole past summer was a lingering heat wave
                           F                                                G
And I remember late August, our open bedroom window
                                                          F
Going through your things with the fan blowing
G
And the sound of helicopters and the smell of smoke
             C                                                              G                                                     F
From the forest fire that was growing, billowing just on the edge of town where we used to swim
             G                                                                    Am
They say a natural, cleansing devastation burning the understory, erasing trails
G
There is no end
                        C
But when I'm kneeling in the heat
                             G
Throwing out your underwear
                                      F
The devastation is not natural or good
G
You do belong here
F                          G
I reject nature, I disagree

                                C
In the hazy light of forest fire smoke
                                    G
I looked across at the refineries
                                   F                                               G
And thought that the world was actually constantly ending
                                                F                                                                G
And the smell and roar of the asphalt truck that was idling just out the window, tearing up our street
C                         G
I missed you, of course
                                               F                                                   G
And I remember thinking the last time it rained here you were alive still
                       F                                             G
And that this same long heat that I was in contained you
                    C                                             G
And in this same heat I open the window next to you
                      F
On your last morning
                      G                                                F                 G
So you could breathe and then so you could ghost away
                                          C                G
And now so the room will hopefully
          F                  Em
Stop whispering

         F                                 G
The grind of time I'm not keeping up with
        Am                                               G
The leaf on the ground pokes at my slumbering grief
F                                        G                  C
Walking around, severed, lumbering
        Em       F                 G
But slowly sovereignty reasserts itself
            Am              G
I don't want it though
            Am               G
And betrayal whines
                Am             G
Who and how could I
Am/F
Live?
