My Favorite Chords Lyrics

My Favorite Chords lyrics

There tearing up streets again,
there building a new hotel.
The mayor is
out killing kids,
to keep taxes down.

And me and my anger
sits,
folding a paper bird, 
letting the curtains turn
to beating
wings.

Wish I had a socket set,
to dismantle this morning,
just
one pair of clean socks,
and a photo of you.

When you get off work
tonight,
meet me at the construction site,
and we'll right some notes to
tape,
to the heavy machines.

Like "We hope they treat you
well."
"Hope you don't work too hard."
"We hope you
get to be
happy sometimes."

And bring you swiss army
knife,
and a bottle of something,
and I'll bring some spray paint,
and
a new deck of cards

Hey, I found the safest place,
to keep all our
tenderness,
keep all those bad ideas,
keep all our hope.
It's hear in
the smallest bones,
the feet and the inner ear.
It's such an enormous
thing,
to walk and to listen.

And I'd like to fall asleep to the beat
of you breathing, 
in a room near a truck stop,
on a highway
somewhere.

You are a radio,
you are an open door.
I am a faulty
string,
of blue Christmas lights.

You swim through
frequencies,
you let that stranger in,
as I'm blinking off and on
and
off again.

And we've got a lot of time, 
or maybe we don't,
but
I'd to think so,
so let me pretend,

Well, these are my favorite
chords,
I know you like them too.
when I get a new guitar, 
you could
have this one.

And sing me a lullaby, 
sing me the alphabet,
sing
me a story I
haven't heard yet.
