[Intro]
C F C F
[Verse 1]
C
Snake plant, Florida water
F
I only wanted ever to be a good daughter
C
Soft hands, gold rings
F
Try to remember most everything.
C
Like feeding grapefruits to the cows,
F
Hold my belly while I'm laughing out loud.
C
A bathing suit on a two day drive,
F
Malaria, you can't sleep at night.
C
Lemon tree and a mango for the baby,
F
Record player you can call me sister Sadie.
C
Gonna cut a rope and tie her to the tree
F
When the hurricane comes, the hurricane comes.
[Chorus]
C F
I know your face I know your smell.
C F
I know that you were living in hell.
[Interlude]
C F C F
[Verse 2]
C
Pee in the bushes while I wait for a train,
F
Under the bridge when it starts to rain.
C
I never got to ride the sunset route,
F
But I drank enough 100 proof.
C
Campfire on the superfund site,
F
Garbage island fucking in the moonlight.
C
I play my song for the barrel of freaks
F
And we go shop lifting when it's time to eat.
[Chorus]
C F
They don't even really know my name,
C F C
I'm so happy that we escaped from where we came.
[Interlude]
F C F
[Verse 3]
C
Tattoo with a needle and thread.
F
Most of our old friends are dead,
C
Test your drugs
C
Remember Narcan
F
There's a war on the people,
F
What don't you understand?
C
There's fentanyl in everything,
F
Don't become an angel with a broken wing.
C
We need you back down here on earth,
F
Nothing is as painful as birth.
C
Time flies when you're getting old,
F
I was born with a baby boy soul.
C
Maybe someday I'll see you again
F
In a field, a war, a kingdom of sand.
C
Maybe we can smile again,
F
Maybe we can dance again.
C
I'd kiss your lips and hold your hands.
F
Maybe we can dance again.
C
I was young when I left home,
F
I never stopped running,
F
Used to think I was alone.
C
But nothing can stop me now.
F
Nothing can stop me now.
C
Nothing will stop me now.
F
Well, nothing can stop,
C F
Nothing can stop me now.
[Outro]
C F
Me now
C F
Me now
C F
Me now
C
Nothing will stop me now.
