Chords with lyrics
Verse 1: B I knew you were gone F# Before any other C#m F# Silent you slipped out the door B I knew in my bones F# It would be wrong to stop you C#m F# I couldn’t keep you anymore B You were a surprise F# Unlike any other C#m B A gift from the stars and the moon E I fell to my knees B Again and again C#m F# overcome overwhelmed over you Chorus: C#m I breathed I breathed B I opened up my hands E I tried my best to soften to the fear C#m Oh please oh please, no B sparrow at the window Em7 Still come the night you left us here Verse 2: B Grief is a hawk F# Flying over in circles C#m F# Keeping her eyes on the ground B Swift as an arrow C#m She’s pinned to my breast F# B She rises I am empty now Chorus: C#m So breathe, oh breathe B Just open up your hands E B There’s nothing left to hold now but the air C#m In dreamless sleep B Oh sparrow at the window E still come the night B come find me there
