september, 29 1984, dear so-and-so
D9                       Csus2
gather me up because i'm lost
            D9
or i'm back where i started from
Csus2
i'm crawling on the floor
               D9
rolling on the ground
        Csus2
i might cry
           D9
i won't go home
Csus2
so here's the story
     D9
i am turning up in in circles
        Csus2
and i'm spinning on my knuckles
         D9                                Csus2
don't forget that there are circles left undone

and very close to me
   D9
forgive me
        Csus2
confort me
    D9
i'm crawling on the floor
               Csus2
rolling on the ground
          D9
there's a blanket wrapped aroung my head
    Csus2                               D9
i'm moving in a line that's shaped like this
    Csus2
i'm holding in my breath
         D9
i have a room
        Csus2
can you tell if i am lying
      D9                                Csus2
don't forget that i'm living inside the space where walls and floor meet
          D9
there's a box inside my chest
   Csus2                     D9
an animal stuffed with my frustration
               Csus2
can you hear me
         D9                              Csus2
don't forget that i'm alone when you're away
            D9
you make me act like other people do
   Csus2
forgive me
        D9
comfort me
       Csus2
you comfort me
            D9
you make me die
          Csus2
i'm gonna cry
           D9
i won't go home
Csus2 D9                                 Csus2
don't kill the god of sadness just don't let her get you down
         D9                                Csus2
see, the man inside this book i read can't handle his own head
                D9
so what the the hell am i supposed to do
    Csus2
i'd like to know how he died
   D9
my hands are shaking
                  Csus2
don't you love me anymore
              D9
i only need a person, keep my shoulders
       Csus2
stand around, lie down
          D9                  Csus2
move your hand above the floor
D9                       Csus2
gather me up because i'm lost
            D9
or i'm back where i started from
Csus2
crawling on the floor
               D9
rolling on the ground
          Csus2
i'm gonna cry
             D9  Csus2
you look for me
D9
love Kristin
     Csus2
p.s. keep them coming
