Radical Face - Old Gemini: chords

                F
Evening in the garden
                C/E
Surrounded by fireflies
                     Dm
We'd only just moved in
                                C/E
I spent my time alone there reading
                         F
And planted one thing a day
                     C/E
While shoveling the yard
                Dm
My spade hit a metal box
                  C/E
And in it was a diary
                    A#
The cover old and frayed

Chorus:
                                C
It said "I don't know how much time I have
                             Dm
But I guess we never really do
                           F
I thought that I would be terrified
                              A#
But it's worse to watch them watching
                                 C
Sometimes I wish our lives were simpler
                                  Dm
That we never had to stretch the food
                                  F
That people here would treat my brother well
                             A#
And that he would know he's good"

I laid out all those pages
And in my study typed them up
It was tough to say how old they were
I guessed sixty years at least
The boy who wrote these words
Was an odd and complicated mind
But wisdom's often heavier
When found before its time

Chorus:
He said "We all get stuck in circles
But nothing moves in perfect lines
Connections underlie the things we see
But to nuances we're blind
And I am never singular
I was born a pair but walk alone
My mirror shows the things I'm not
But he helps me feel at home"
