Verse:
     C majorC          G+G          A minorAm
There's a voice that pulls me stumbling through a symphony
    FF      C majorC        G+G
And the less of it I need, the more I get
     C majorC       G+G        A minorAm
'til I'm swept up by the shape of all the centuries
    FF      G+G       C majorC
Like an echo in the chambers of my chest

Verse:
      C majorC        G+G      A minorAm
I think she fears I'll be a servant to my history
      FF        C majorC        G+G
Or worse, a slave to someone else's misplaced doubts
   C majorC        G+G         A minorAm
So I try too hard to kill what's out to kill me
     FF      G+G         C majorC
'til I'm blind and hiding in the lion's mouth


Chorus:
    FF                    C majorC
And the words she aches to hear pour through my canyon
      FF              G+G
And they're singing in the caverns of my limbs
      C majorC             A minorAm
And though I do my best to try to understand them
     FF       G+G       C majorC
They only follow me like vultures in the end


Verse:
    C majorC         G+G          A minorAm
I once read that I should write something worth reading
      FF         C majorC    G+G
Or I should do something worth writing about
     C majorC          G+G       A minorAm
And as my ears they buzz like bees upon the ceiling
      FF       G+G       C majorC
I start to pour a little more than I'm allowed

Verse:
      C majorC         G+G        A minorAm
I said our hearts know deeper seasons than our memories
        FF       C majorC        G+G
She said "this harvest might sustain us for a year"
    C majorC        G+G          A minorAm
And of all the thousand ways the world could tempt me
      FF      G+G        C majorC
I've never met a better fighter than her fear


Chorus:
    FF                 C majorC
So as I try to breathe the air that she is breathing
    FF                G+G
And we dance a lightless dance upon my floor
   C majorC                 A minorAm
I am burning to tell her she's all i'm needing
        FF       G+G         C majorC
But i'm drowned out by all the noise outside the door


Verse:
C majorC       G+G       A minorAm
Carried by the current of the morning
FF        C majorC       G+G
Miles below the surface of the dawn
C majorC        G+G        A minorAm
This is not the place that I was born in
        FF        G+G       C majorC
But it doesn't mean it's not the place where I belong
