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

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


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


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


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


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


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