_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ [C#] Oh, Carissa, when I first saw you, you were a lovely child.
Then the last time I saw you, you [D#m] were fifteen [C#] and pregnant and running wild.
_ [D#m] _ I [C#] remember wondering, could there be a light [F#] at the [C#] end of your tunnel?
_ But I left Ohio [D#m] then and pretty [C#] much forgotten all about you.
[D#m] _
I [C#] guess you were there some years [D#] ago [C#] at a family funeral.
_ But you were one of so many [D#m] relatives, [C#] I didn't know which one was you.
[D#m] _
_ [C#] Yesterday morning I woke up [D#m] to so many [C#] 330 area call calls.
I called my mom back [D#m] and she was in tears [C#] and asked had I spoke to my [D#m] father.
_ [C#] Carissa burned to death last night in a freak accident fire.
In her yard in Brewster, her daughter came home from a party in the fountain.
_ _ Same way as my uncle, _
[D#m] _ [C#] who was her grandfather. _ _
_ An aerosol can blew up in [D#m] the trash, god [C#] damn what were the odds.
[D#m] She was [C#] just getting ready to go to [D#m] her midnight [C#] shift as an RN in Wadsworth.
And she vanished up in [D#m] flames like that, but there had to [C#] be more to her.
[D#m] _ _
[C#] Everyone's grieving out of [D#m] their minds, [C#] making arrangements and taking drugs.
But I'm flying out there [D#m] tomorrow because I need to [C#] give and get some [D#m] hugs.
[C#] Because I have questions [D#m] _ that I'd [C#] like to get answered.
_ I may never get them, but [D#m] Carissa I've [C#] got to know how did it happen.
_ _ Carissa was 35, you don't just raise two kids and take out your [F#] trash with that.
_ _ _ [C#] She was only my second cousin, but that doesn't mean I'm not here for her or that I want _ _ _ _ _ a man.
To find some poetry and make some sense of this, to find some deeper meaning. _ _
_ In this senseless tragedy, oh Carissa I'll sing your name across every sea.

[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A#m] _ _
_ _ [D#m] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ [D#m] _ [C#] Were you doing someone [D#m] _
_ _ [C#] else's chores for them?
Were you just killing time, [D#m] finding things to do [C#] all by your lonesome?
_ [D#m] [F#] Was it even [C#] you that [D#m] mistakenly put [C#] the flammables in the trash? _
Was it your kids just being kids, if [D#m] so all the guilt [C#] they will carry around [D#m] forever?
Well [C#] I'm going out there [D#m] to get a look [C#] at the landscape.
_ To get a look at those [F#] I'm connected by blood and [C#] see how it all may have shaped [D#m] me.
[C#] Well I'm going out there, [D#m] though I'm [C#] not really needed.
_ I'm just so broken up about [D#m] it, how is it that the [C#] sad history repeats it?
[D#m] I'll [C#] return to Ohio, _ [D#m] _
[C#] where I was born.
_ Gonna see where I hung with my cousins [D#m] and played with them [C#] in the snow.
Fished in [D#m] their ponds, gonna [C#] see how they've grown.
[D#m] Visit some graves and [C#] say, hey I missed you.
I'm gonna find out as much as I can about my little second cousin Carissa.
[D#m] _ I'll [C#] return to Ohio, _ [D#m] _ [C#] where I was born. _
Got a 10.45am flight, [D#m] I'm leaving [C#] tomorrow morning.
_ _ [D#m] I'm gonna [C#] visit my aunts, my uncles, [D#m] my [C#] parents and sisters.
But mostly I'm going to pay my [G#m] respects [D#m] to my little [C#] second cousin Carissa.
[D#m] Yeah [C#] I'll return to Ohio, _ [D#m] _ _ [C#] feel I belong.
_ And I'll ask those who know the most about [D#m] Carissa, for it is her life [C#] and death that I'm helplessly drawn to.
Carissa was 35, raised kids since she was 15 years old and suddenly died. _
_ _ _ Next to an old brick fire pit, oh there's gotta be more than that to live. _
[A#m] _ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ She was only [A#m] my second [C#] cousin, I didn't know her well at all, but it don't mean that I _ wasn't. _ _
_ _ Meant to give her life poetry, or to make sure her name is known across every sea.
