[Verse]
G G C C G G
I was looking at photos from when we were young
C C G G D D
Your hair is light blue and you're smiling in one
C C G G C C G G
And it's a strange remembrance brought on by this semblance
C C G G D D
Oh we were so serious, shy, inexperienced

[Break]
C C G G C C G G C C G G D D


[Verse]
C C C C C/B C/B C/A C/A G G
Oh so unsure of ourselves
C C G G D D
Making mistakes without anyone's help
C C G G C C G G
And I thought of the ways I remember you well


[Verse]
G G C C G G
Some sweet recollection of redwoods and raspberry vines
C C G G D D
Boys you wrote postcards to numerous times
C C G G C C G G
The uncertainty then, like some sentence of sin
C C G G D D
Punctuated by moments of tenderness when
C C G G C C G G
There were long conversations, sharing of beds
C C G G D D
Walks home from swimming pools giddy, impressionable,
C C C C C/B C/B C/A C/A G G
The distance grew up like the night
C C G G D D
Decisions were silence or preemptive flight
C C G G C C G G
Yeah the queer kids I knew, we did tend to be shy


[Verse]
G G C C G G
And your parents just couldn't get over their shit
C C G G D D
They spoke of how all their ambitions were split
C C G G C C G G
But they still let you in and tried to pretend
C C G G D D
Now you let them refer to your lovers as friends
C C C C C/B C/B C/A C/A G G
And I wish they could see how it hurts
C C G G D D
Or affirm your existence with interested words
C C G G C C G G
Yeah their self-obsession's a patriarched curse


[Verse]
G G C C G G
So you made a family from people you found
C C G G D D
Your grew into yourself with those weirdos around
C C G G C C G G
Late nights talking at home, or dancing 'til dawn
C C G G D D
Or driving all day, 'cause you're sick of the phone
C C C C C/B C/B C/A C/A G G
Yeah, the good ones they tend to leave town
C C G G D D
It helps to write letters and say "come on down"
C C G G C C G G
Yeah I'm so much better when you're around


[Verse]
G G C C G G
And I think of you when I put on your old clothes
C C G G D D
We don't talk all that often, who ever does?
C C G G C C G G
But I'll visit you soon and sing you a tune
C C G G D D
About finding a family somewhere in the ruins

[Break]
C C G G C C G G C C G G D D

C C C C C/B C/B C/A C/A G G
Of the expectations we once knew
C C G G D D
We'll try to make peace with our patriarchs too

[Outro]
C C C C C/B C/B C/A C/A G G
