D Bm
Thinking outrageously I write in cursive
G Em
I hide in my bed with the lights on the floor
D Bm
Wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers
G Em
I see my own breath on the face of the door
D Bm
Oh I am not quite sleeping
G Em
Oh I am fast in bed
D Bm
There on the wall in the bedroom creeping
G Em
I see a wasp with her wings outstretched
D Bm
North of Savanna we swim in the palisades
G Em
I come out wearing my brother's red hat
D Bm
There on his shoulder my best friend is bit seven times
G Em
He runs washing his face in his hands
D Bm
Oh how I meant to tease him
G Em
Oh how I meant no harm
D Bm
Touching his back with my hand I kiss him
G Em
I see the wasp on the length of my arm

We were in love. We were in love.
G
Palisades! Palisades!
Em
I can wait. I can wait.
D Bm G Em D
Lamb of God, we sound the horn. Hallelujah!
(We were in love we were in love, palisades palisades, I can wait I can wait)
D Bm G Em D
To us your ghost is born. Hallelujah!
(We were in love we were in love, palisades palisades, I can wait I can wait)
D Bm G
I can't explain the state that I'm in
Em D
The state of my heart, he was my best friend
Bm G
Into the car, from the back seat
Em D
Oh admiration in falling asleep
Bm G
All of my powers, day after day
Em D
I can tell you, we swaggered and swayed
Bm G
Deep in the tower, the prairies below
Em D
I can tell you, the telling gets old
Bm G
Terrible sting and terrible storm
Em D
I can tell you the day we were born
Bm G
My friend is gone, he ran away
Em D
I can tell you, I love him each day
Bm G
Though we have sparred, wrestled and raged
Em D
I can tell you I love him each day
Bm G
Terrible sting, terrible storm
Em ...D
I can tell you...
