[Intro]
Bb/D Bb/F Bb/D Bb/C
pima ama p_im mim pima ama pima ama (2x)

[Verse 1]
F               Am                   Dm
She could not control her guilty smile
C
I slept alone that night
F                             Am                             Dm
It was on Christmas Day that nothing came
C
and nothing went away
F                                           Am
The sunflowers that make you wait
Dm                                                         C
while broken skins float down kitchen drains
F                             Am                             Dm
Cicadas beat a rhythm, landscapes of music,
C
I pull the blinds

[Pre-chorus]
Bb                             Dm
Sunflowers on the meadow,
F                             Gm
fixed in tireless fires
Bb               Dm
Sunlit water sparkles
Gm
out your eyes

[Chorus]
F                                           Bb
The Anesthetist drank all my wine
F
I took a bus back in time
Gm
and hid under my table
F                                           Bb
Bony limbs of tired restless children
F
the hot seats of a car
Gm
the singing of summer traveling
F                                           Bb
She stroked my legs with bitten fingertips
F
sunset fell on painted lips
Gm
the moon shone out like a halo
F                                           Bb
My face against the warm grassy air
F
your suntanned derrière
Gm
with despair I loved you with intentions

[Interlude]
Bb/D Bb/F Bb/D Bb/C
I think this is the time,
none of us quite believed in the time machine
The fact is, the time traveler was one of those men,
who are to clever to be believed

[Verse 2]
F                             Am                             Dm
Hurricane scratches out a skyline, fear of wasted years
C
leads me to dream a while
F                             Am                             Dm
Sought the flesh of younger girls in his twilight years,
C
maybe he’ll get lucky tonight
F                             Am
Here I am, awoken by the tulips,
Dm                                           C
your stubborn pouted lips wouldn’t caress my name
F                                           Am                             Dm
I roll into my convalescent shade, I play a little game
C
I see you do the same

[Pre-chorus]
Bb                                           Dm
Your heart a battleship, you’re weeping
F                             Gm
hotel stops the rain
Bb                                           Dm
A horse compares its tail
Gm
to its mane

[Chorus]
F                                           Bb
The Anesthetist drank all my wine
F
I took a bus back in time
Gm
and hid under my table
F                                           Bb
Bony limbs of tired restless children
F
the hot seats of a car
Gm
the singing of summer traveling
F                                                         Bb
She stroked my legs with bitten fingertips
F
sunset fell on painted lips
Gm
the moon shone out like a halo
F                                           Bb
My face against the warm grassy air
F
your suntanned derrière
Gm
with despair I loved you with intentions

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
F Bb
The Anesthetist drank all my wine

I took a bus back in time

Bony limbs of tired restless children

the singing of summer traveling
