[Intro]
Am D C F
G F
[Verse 1]
Am
I should have known better
D
To see what I could see
C F
My black shroud
G
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies
F Am
I should have wrote a letter
D
And grieve what I happen to grieve
C F
My black shroud
G
I never trust my feelings
F
I waited for the remedy
[Chorus]
Dm F
When I was three, three, maybe four
G F G
She left us at that video store, mmm...
C G F G
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy, mmm...
C G F
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
[Interlude]
Am D C F
G F
[Verse 2]
Am
Iâm light as a feather
D
Iâm bright as the Oregon breeze
C F
My black shroud
G
Frightened by my feelings
I only wanna be a relief
F Am
No, Iâm not a gogetter
D C
The demon had a spell on me
F
My black shroud
G
Captain of my feelings
F
The only thing I wanna believe
[Chorus]
Dm F
When I was three, and free to explore
G F G
I saw her face on the back of the door, mmm...
C G F G
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy, mmm...
C G F
Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy

[Verse 3]
C
I should have known better
F G
Nothing can be changed
C
The past is still the past
G
The bridge to nowhere
Am
I should have wrote a letter
F G Am G
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling
[Bridge]
C F G
Donât back down, concentrate on seeing
C G
The breakers in the bar, the neighborâs greeting
Am
My brother had a daughter
F G Am G
The beauty that she brings, illumination
C F G
Donât back down, there is nothing left
C G
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
Am
Iâm a fool in the fetter
F G Am G
Rose of Aaronâs beard, where you can reach me
C F G
Donât back down: nothing can be changed
C G
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
Am
My brother had a daughter
F G Am G
The beauty that she brings, illumination
F G
Illumination
I should have known better
To see what I could see
My black shroud
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies
I should have wrote a letter
And grieve what I happen to grieve
My black shroud
I never trust my feelings
I waited for the remedy
When I was three, three maybe four
She left us at that video store
Be my rest, be my fantasy
I’m light as a feather
I’m bright as the Oregon breeze
My black shroud
Frightened by my feelings
I only wanna be a relief
No, I’m not a go-getter
The demon had a spell on me
My black shroud
Captain of my feelings
The only thing I wanna believe
When I was three, and free to explore
I saw her face on the back of the door
Be my rest, be my fantasy
I should have known better
Nothing can be changed
The past is still the past
The bridge to nowhere
I should have wrote a letter
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling
Don’t back down, concentrate on seeing
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor’s greeting
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination
Don’t back down, there is nothing left
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
I’m a fool in the fetter
Rose of Aaron’s beard, where you can reach me
Don’t back down: nothing can be changed
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination
