Eugene by Sufjan Stevens
Eugene
A#m6 (x 1 4 3 2 x), D#m6 (x 6 9 8 7 x)
Verse 1
E F# B F#
Light struck from the lemon tree
A G#m F# E B C#m B
What if I’d never seen hysterical light from Eugene?
E B F# G#m
Lemon yoghurt, remember I pulled at your shirt
F# E
I dropped the ashtray on the floor
B C#m B
I just wanted to be near you
Verse 2
E F# B F#
Emerald Park, wonders never cease
A G#m F# E B C#m B
The man who taught me to swim, he couldn't quite say my first name
E B F# G#m F#
Like a Father he led community water on my head
E
And he called me “Subaru”
B C#m B
And now I want to be near you
Verse 3
B A#m6 G#m F# E D#m6 F#
Since I was old enough to speak I've said it with alarm
B A#m6 G#m F# E
Some part of me was lost in your sleeve
D#m6 F#
Where you hid your cigarettes
E
No I’ll never forget
B C#m B
I just want to be near you
Verse 4
E F# B F#
Still I pray to what I cannot see
A G#m F# E B C#m B
In the sprinkler I mark the evidence known from the start
E B F# G#m F#m
From the bed near your death, and all the machines that made a mess
E
Far away the falcon flew
B C#m B
Now I want to be near you
Verse 5
E F# B F#
What’s left is only bittersweet
A G#m F# E B C#m B
For the rest of my life, admitting the best is behind me
E B F# G#m F#
Now I’m drunk and afraid, wishing the world would go away
E
What’s the point of singing songs
B C#m B
If they’ll never even hear you?
