Verse 1:

AbAb         Absus4Absus4
Salem burns the leaves

Absus4Absus4
Then she

          AbAb
Returns to cure and see

     GbGb
Heavy fate

        Db/F
After years of waiting

Pre-Chorus:

AbAb         Db/Ab
'Cause abnormalities

   Db/Ab
Surely

          AbAb
Are everywhere you see

          BbmBbm
So what I think we need

      F minorFm Eb MajorEb
Is elasticity,  empowerment and ease


Chorus:

      AbAb
So I won't lead no lie

     DbDb         F minorFm
With our hearts the only matter why

BbmBbm         F minorFm
How long it's lasted

       Eb MajorEb      DbDb     AbAb
I've not received reciprocity

AbAb        Absus4Absus4
To speak supportively

Absus4Absus4
Big guy

           AbAb
There's no automatic peace

        GbGb
But I bet you'd keep

       Db/F          AbAb
All these in-betweens that bar my youth

Pre-Chorus:

AbAb            Db/Ab
There's no anorberic dream

       DbDb
Far as I know

            AbAb
I tried too hard to see

           BbmBbm
What I thought it’d be

         F minorFm
Asking constantly

         Eb MajorEb
How's it gonna be?


Chorus:

       AbAb
So I'm gonna weep a while

     DbDb
You don't even know how hard

BbmBbm     F minorFm
I learned a lesson

     Eb MajorEb
Don't ask me, I've

             DbDb
Torn the banner from the line
