   G    
a northern state in the summer time
    E
my uncle’s lake on the fourth of July
   Am
outside the cabin my sister tried
        Dm
to call like the loon with her hands cupped tight
       G
up against her mouth as the fireflies
       E
became visible in the failing summer light
   Am                          Dm
a sparkler in my hand i went after them
as they went out in the night
   G
i wandered down into a quiet place
           E
where the grass grew tall where it met the lake
            Am
there was a different bug must have bit my leg
         Dm
though i never saw it
G
back at home i cried in my room
    E
my closest friend the one that i confided to:
   Am
i wanted her but she wanted you
       Dm
i was sick in bed i could barely move
          G
and then as my body turned against itself
             E
i prayed for death that i’d come back to be anyone else
Am              Dm
be anyone else, be anyone else
    G
as sickness formed within my cells
           D
you never loved me like the way you loved anyone else
    Am
you dig a hole dig it deep enough
          Dm
the truth buries itself and buries itself

    G
and i
           E
i disowned my
          Am
own family
         Dm
all for love
         G
all for love
             E
and i was ashamed
             Am
of my sister because
                Dm
she belonged to me
                       G
when i wasn’t good enough

     E          Am
i’m sorry, i'm sorry
                  Dm
you were the only thing
                   G
i should have ever loved
     E          Am
i’m sorry, i'm sorry
                  Dm
you were the only thing
                   G
i should have ever loved
(End with ukulele solo)
