tuning: half step down
intro: D Em G
DG
can't find the forest
DG
too stuck on the trees
DG
but now you're invested,
D
so i'm left pretending
G
it's all i can see
DG
i asked for a window
DG
to open my cell
DG
you came as kaleidoscopes
D
climbing, colliding
G
you came as yourself
EmBm
whether i'm ready
AEm
is not up to me
Bm
we go where we're ordered
A
to bunker or beach
EmA
to the close of creation
DG
as shells and stories
DGDG
a spiral staircase
DG
Astoria, Queens
DG
i claimed you while conscious
D
got sleepy, forgetful,
G
and left you in dreams
EmBm
you folded your leg
AEm
right foot to left knee
Bm
you laughed at my back
AEm
said you couldn't believe
A
how violent I could be
just brushing my teeth
(this part is hard to figure out
give me feedback if you can)
GEBmGEBmGEADG
drove from the service
DG
spent in my seat
DG
my woman beside me
D
a clutch of hydrangeas
G
a strange sort of peace
DG
in loss, i'm made certain
DG
unveiled clarity
DG
it's you i will marry
D
my lover, my family
G
you always will be
EmB
but every word
AEm
seemed too small to speak
Bm
so we watched the sky reach
AEm
ambivalent peaks
A
we made our projections
present and free
D Em G (x4)
