CARAMIA (Emily Saliers)
[D]Caramia - a blank [E]notebook and a back pocket fade...
You used to [Em]mock me;
Sometimes I would [G]cry
When [C#dim]I was home [D]later.[Gm][D]
You hurt my feelings:
Why, why, [B7]why?
Write it down in your [Em]notebook,
My wannabe[G] H[C#dim]arriet the [D]spy.[Dsus4][D]
Some say your [Bm7]genius
Is in your [Em7]madness;
Will you get [Dm]better?
And then will you [D]leave us?[Dsus4][D]
How you[G] mixed with the [C#dim]darkness
At such a young [D]age!
Until in your [Em]chemistry
Science and [G]violence
Turned [C#dim]silence to rage[D].[Dsus4][D]
[D5]Why... [D5/B] are you [D5/C#]dreaming this?[D5]
One shoe [Am]off, and a b[Am/B]ridge to cross over.[Am/C][Asus2]
[D5]And wh[D5/B]ere is your [D5/C#]taxi fare?[D5]
Are you [Am]left by your[Am/B]self
Or l[Am/C]eft by your [Asus2]lover?
For [D5]three nights straight [D5/B]now
I dreamed I kept [D5/C#]both of my [D5]shoes,
But I've forg[Am]otten my lin[Am/B]es, and
I've[Am/C] misplaced m[Asus2]y cues;
[D]And there's a sea full of f[D/B]aces
And a [D/C#]show to go on;
And I'm [Am]struck mute [Am/B]at entrance
With[Am/C] nothing to [Asus2]draw from!
[D]There were the secrets: the big bang
And the [E]bigger joke.
You seem to know [Em]all of them
And inju[G]stice makes you [C#dim]red with choke.[D][Gm][D]
You love like you're desperate!
You don't know what love [B7]is!
I thought if there was [Em]one thing I could give you,
One thing I could [C#dim]tell you,
Maybe it was [D]this...[Dsus4][D]
With your head on the [Bm7]bed board,
The anguished re[Em7]peat;
The sweat of ou[Dm]r sadness--
The twist of the s[D]heets.[Dsus][4][D]
I don't want [G]what's best for you!
[C#dim] Where would I be if you [D]found it?
I prayed a lot about these bad [Em]feelings inside,
But I can't [G]pray my way [C#dim]through or a[D]round it.[Dsus4][D]
I found a lot of this somewhere else and messed around with it a bit. If you are the
transcriber, please let me know.
