Intro: D Bm Gbm D Bm Gbm

Verse 1:
   D                         Bm
My mother's in the garden, my brother's in the yard
      Gbm
Dad's under the car, swearing at God
       D                      Bm
In the late July evening, I'm watching the sky
Gb
Usher my grandfather one last goodbye

Pre-chorus:
       D                         Bm
As the pink fades to orange, I am wishing once more

I were nine and that time were a friend, one of mine
     D                  Bm                   Gb
I go (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

Verse 2:
         D                       Bm
But now, who am I kidding? Never had one of those
  Gbm
I swirl in the backyard, I run with the ghosts
       D                         Bm
As the neighbor's dog barking his prophetic spout:
      Gbm
"Your youth is a crown that you're doomed to lose now"
        D                             Bm
And the war's on the home front, it's coming by twos
       Gbm
As the late July heat crashes over you
       D                         Bm
And if love had a spark, it went out on the Fourth
       Gbm
It was buried in the backyard, why carry the torch?

Pre-chorus:
       D                                  Bm
Now it roams through the garden where the vegetables grow
       Gbm
And my mother, the gardener, where she will stop
  D                            Bm                  Gb
I don't know (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
        D                      Bm                  Gb
I don't know (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

Verse 3:
       D                    D           Bm
Now my brother, he's a good one, he was born a grown man
     Gbm
Knee stains of cut grass, still he's coming in last
    D                            Bm
Too soft in the middle, the town turns up its nose
          Gbm                                                   D
"Can you see through my riddle?" to the child still wearing his clothes
Bm          Gbm
  (Can you get close?)
                 D
Still wearing his clothes
Bm          Gbm
  (Can you get close?)

Bridge:
    D                       D
The Midwest has fallen, Downtown wants it back
          Gbm
Hope they have a cement that can seal up the cracks
        D                        Bm
Take my stone fruit and thunder, lock it up tight
       Gbm
But no city street show can block out the sight
