The Year of the Get You Alone Lyrics
by Field Report
CAPO: 1st FRET
INTRO: (FOR INTRO I PLAY THE 1st VERSE CHORDS QUICKLY
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE SONG)
VERSE:
In the year of the Get You Alone
I got you alone
And I showed you that I'd been drinking
In a handful of words
The lecture landed all kinds of places
Places with vistas of buckthorn and tamarack.
Can you measure remorse in invasive species?
Will they hang their heads and swear not to grow back?
CHORUS:
All my love
What have we become?
Crippled by joy
Bm A D (use Dsus4 and Dsus2
And pursuit thereof also for variation)
VERSE:
In the year of the Get You Alone
I got you on a boat
And I did all my drinking at home,
before we got to the shore
Don't look down now,
But this water has a sinister motive
It's carving out my confidence
And flooding my crumbling home
CHORUS:
All my love
What have we become?
Crippled by joy
And pursuit thereof
VERSE:
Somebody's sleeping with director's daughters
And taking drugs I've never tried
I drink at home most days now
And sometimes sleep with my wife
And I lost my job in a kitchen
Guess I belong in this city's withered arms
Cradled in her unset broken ulna,
Spangled by dishwater tears
Like silver bracelet charms
I don't love her
Like I love you
I've been saving up my money,
Gonna buy us a new car
This city
She taught me a thing or two,
To take a ride from anyone
Going far, far, far away from
CHORUS/OUTRO:
All my love
What have we become?
Crippled by joy
And pursuit thereof
