Then play these chords: Since that time we meant to say much more Unsaid things begin to take their toll, After school we shovel through the snow Drive upstate in silence in the cold, You can remind me of it That I was lazy and tired, You can work all your life as I'm not afraid of you anymore Back to verse: If I loved you oh a long time, I don't know If I can't recall the last time you told me so, Here in this house in Pittsfield The ghost of our grandmother works at the sewing machine post, Hiding the bills in the kitchen, on the floor And my sister lost her best friend in the Persian Gulf War, There was a flood in the bathroom last May And you kicked at the pipes when it rattled oh the river it made. Stand there, tell me that I'm of no use Things unspoken break us if we share There's still time to wash the kitchen floor On your knees, the bath, the sink once more. You can remind me, that I was tired You can work late, and give yourself honor. Now that I'm older, wiser and working less I don't regret, having left the place a mess You can remind me, that I was lazy and tired You can recall your life as I'm not afraid of you, anymore Anymore This is my first tab so go easy, any comments or thoughts: [email protected]
