      F minorFm BbmBbm   C majorC
There's a gold shadow seeping through the door

      F minorFm BbmBbm   C majorC
There's a cold sparrow lying still upon the floor

F minorFm       AbAb
Dead and true as lipstick

F#F#          F minorFm
Slow as the speed of skin

     C#C#   BbmBbm    C majorC
There's a gold, gold shadow growing from within


*next verse is the same:*


      F minorFm BbmBbm   C majorC
There's a bent willow in the moonlight painted blue

      F minorFm BbmBbm   C majorC
There's a spent window silhouetting you

F minorFm       AbAb
Deep and true as whiskey

F#F#          F minorFm
Soft and sure as lies
     C#C#   BbmBbm    C majorC
There's a bent, bent willow reflecting in your eyes

Chorus:


AbAb         C#C#       AbAb
But now there's a girl out in a boat
          C#C#              AbAb
Her arms are outstretched and she's barely afloat
           BbmBbm          F minorFm
There's a man on the shore, a rope in his hands
         C#C#                 AbAb
It's tied to the boat, and he's pulling as hard as he can
           C#C#              AbAb
Not to bring her to him, but to pull the whole shore
             C#C#         AbAb
and the whole world with it to her open door

(
           C#C#
All his voices are her
           AbAb
All his voices are her

) x 2

    F#F#       C#C#    C majorC
Has he been here before?
Nobody's sure

Verse again (same chords):

There's a silver distance, a luminescent glimpse
There's a river of resistance, dried to cracks upon your lips
Brittle as believing
Sticky as betrayal
There's a silver distance opening up like a trail

Chorus again (same chords):

There was a time before all the leaves
covered the beauty of Adam & Eve
And they were blind, and they were free
To be whatever they wanted to be
But now they are just a prayer in a song
And he is so sorry for all that went wrong

All his voices are her
All his voices are her

Has he been here before?
Has he been here before?
