called Friend Okkervil River
[E]Remember when our so-called friend would not call out to [F#]
you while tumbling loosely out a[C#m] hole punched through your
[A]home?
It’s p[E]retty clear, though you could hear, you truly finally [F#]
knew in time, he’ll tell his tal[C#m]e the way he’d like it
[A]told.
Now[C#m] he isn’t on the phone, [A]
[F#]his story might as well be so. [A]
[E]Well, loving is as loving does, and I’d say we shou[F#]ld know,
because we [C#m]both have loved, and lost, and are alone. [A]
[E]Your face’s falling tears, to me they’re lovely and they’re [F#]
dear, though you don[C#m]’t love me and it’s clear that I will
[A]never see you in my arms.
The[C#m]re’s no room in your heart [A]
fo[F#]r even this finely-sharpened dart; [A]
altho[E]ugh I had started to think [F#]there might be hope, it [A]
isn’t[E] so.
E, F#, C#m, A 2x
Bridge:
So w[C#m]ake up, make u[F#]p some new song again around the same[A] tune. [E]
The water[C#m] cools, the leaves they fall, the sun it bends, [F#]
the summer ends; our so-called friend doesn’t need you[A]. [E]
So proceed out the[E] door and down the street. December’s [F#]
lying near, but in the oven’s heat [C#m]this house is now a
[A]home.
[E]Sixty days of trips and stays you took to tell me, [F#]dear,
that you cannot love me bec[C#m]ause you secretly still love a s[A]tone.
[C#m]Although I put my lips to your face, [A]
trying to p[F#]ush his kiss out of its place, [A]
although my[E] heart started to rac[F#]e, now it has slowed, [A]
I’ll let it [E]go.
E, F#, C#m, A
